It’s not really a secret that the highways cut through the poor areas of town and split up neighborhoods.
Plus it’s elevated. People could easily go underneath it.
This is just the latest idiotic prog theory to explain their own failures.

Yes and if there wasn't a road...which might attract businesses with traffic...they'd say it's racist.
Pete Buttigieg being gay is the only reason he's there. He was on paternity leave for 2 months during a supply chain crisis and absolutely no one noticed.

GD, between roads, IDs, no more abortions and statues, blacks ain't going to make it.
Has there ever been a cultural demographic as disfunctional, yet pampered, in world history?

Will this include areas that are now gentrified or redeveloped in some other way? (Should if based on historical issue of the interstate’s construction)
Will it include areas that became predominantly black later, or ones that were developed or expanded towards interstate after it was constructed? (Should not if based on historical issue of the interstate’s construction)
I can already envision Democrats using money spent now to “help” blacks and possible move traffic elsewhere thru construction coming back in around 30 to 50 years to try another version based on this program and it’s successors limiting black access to interstates.
Somehow cities develop and connect on both sides of our border with Mexico before even bringing illegal immigration into discussion, but an interstate used to connect cuts off more effectively it seems. Maybe interstates should become part of any border wall plans…

Yet another money laundering scheme funneling cash to career politicians.
FYI, most of the areas that are now "black" areas that have interstates through or near them were mostly working class white neighborhoods when the interstates where built in the 50s. A lot changes in 70 years.
Americans are so emotional and spineless.

Yes, the federal government spent hundreds of millions of dollars, not to connect major industrial and population centers, but because RACISM.
Give me a break.

Why dont they include Old Metairie? I-10 cut right through, dividing it in two.

We pay too much in taxes, they're just looking for ways to waste money.

Alabama DOT had a chance to redo this a couple years ago with the downtown bridge project. Nah, built more bridges

Nah, I actually think it would be kinda nice. It’s going to be hilarious when it has the opposite effect though. It would reconnect Treme and speed up the gentrification of an already rapidly-changing hood. Then it would push the lower-incomes out to the East while then making their commute to the service jobs in the center of the city harder.

A large number of white folks fled to suburbia from the inner cities in the 60’s and 70’s. The interstates allowed them to live outside of the city centers, but still be able to easily commute into the city for work and shopping.
They abandoned their minority neighbors in the process. In turn, their old neighborhoods and cities turned into ghettos.
Now it’s time to return billions of dollars back to those crime-ridden cesspools. It’s justified because it’s money that was stolen decades ago because taxpayers simply moved to another location to provide a better life for themselves and their families.
In short…. interstates are racist because they allow white people to flee crime and corruption.
