Just released today: 2019 #FreewaysWithoutFutures - There are so many great stories behind these 10 candidates for removal and renewal, stay tuned as we share them today and over the next year. https://t.co/jXQbnamk4r
I-980, 18 lanes wide: 2 city streets that act as on-ramps and off-ramps to more on-ramps and off-ramps, that connect to a 5 lane freeway. It is time to transform unproductive infrastructure into Livable Infrastructure. #FreewaysWithoutFutures@LibbySchaaf@CA_Trans_Agency
Oakland's I-980 made it into the Congress for New Urbanism's report, "Freeways without Futures." This freeway has cut through West Oakland and separated communities for too long--LET'S TEAR DOWN THE 980 ✊🏼 @NewUrbanism@Oakland@OakDOT https://t.co/mDjlBQUM5E
Good summary of @NewUrbanism's latest Freeways Without Futures report. Once built, urban highways can be hard to kill. Indeed, they often just get bigger https://t.co/YgqT23fF0E
If you care about your city & it has a highway in it, then this report is for you. More & more cities want to remove highways, build urban infrastructure, & use the freed up land for parks, housing, schools, businesses... & be better off economically, socially, & environmentally.
Transform I-980! The Downtown Oakland Preliminary Draft estimates nearly 5,000 units of new housing (based on rendering) while reconnecting West Oakland & Downtown. @Oakland#DowntownOaklandPlan#FreewaysWithoutFutures
