Removing Freeways - Restoring Cities

We recently created a web site with the histories of all the freeway removals that have occurred in the United States, "Removing Freeways - Restoring Cities," which is available at: http://www.preservenet.com/freeways.

It tells the stories of how the following freeways were removed:

• Portland, OR: Harbor Drive

• San Francisco, CA: Embarcadero Freeway

• San Francisco, CA: Central Freeway

• Milwaukee, WI: Park East Freeway

• New York, NY: West Side Highway

• Niagara Falls, NY: Robert Moses Parkway

It also includes two essays:

• From Induced Demand to Reduced Demand by me
  

• Tear It Down! by John Norquist, president and CEO of the Congress for the New Urbanism
