Yeah, this is a boondoggle in the making. They act like but for the interstate North Claiborne would be some thriving black business district. But they ignore the fact that South Claiborne, which is not burdened by the interstate, is also a crime ridden shitehole in the areas where it is surrounded by the hood. Hint: The elevated expressway isn't the problem.

Before the elevated interstate went up, that stretch was like Esplanade Ave, with a neutral ground full of live oaks.

The best part is that the people they will hurt most are the homeless that live under that bridge. Dems are supposed to be pro homeless people.
