Regardless of the the political motivation, I agreed with the plan for removing the Claiborne overpass. The plan removed the overpass, reconfigured Claiborne as a surface boulevard, built a cloverleaf at I-10/610, and increased capacity on the expressway.
Would that plan get executed properly... not a chance.
Yes the Big Dig in Boston was a financial hole, but the positive impact of the city is undeniable.
Which is why I gave the article a chance...I don't want government spending money on a new highway there as it is a pretty bad location.
But....you need to read my responses above.....can't be against segregation from the highway in one breath and be against gentrification because you want segregation in the next.
Either highway is causing segregation or it isn't.

They hate gentrification but gays and trust fund progressive hipsters are the ones who gentrify neighborhoods yet they vote for the same people

Yeah good luck with that.
Try tearing down I-10 between Dalrymple and Perkins, which separates good and bad areas, and you’ll get an 18 wheeler up your arse because traffic is bad enough there already.
Obviously shouldn't be done at this point, but it's no doubt a valid gripe.
There is a reason why I-10 curves coming off of the bridge, which causes the bottle-neck, and it ain't because of good planning.
Look at what neighborhood it would have cut through had it gone straight. (Hint: the Garden District.)
