How telling that you favor artery cloggers!

i’m totally loving it. like a mickey-d’s dollar menu mcdouble! (what?)

i’d love to see the Sheridan Expressway come down. i wonder if we can chip in support from SF, somehow. any ideas? can we at least write some letters? not sure how much money we have out here — nobody has jobs, here. 3rd highest unemployment in the country, and we’re just getting warmed up. but we have some extra time on our hands!

i’d also like to start talking about removing existing highways in other places — all the highways that enter San Francisco, for instance — so they can be used in more healthy and productive ways — ways that actually benefit the city instead of harm it.

i want to start the process of reclaiming highway space by closing down on-ramps and off-ramps to/from highways that leave from and drop into areas of the city that are particularly congested with ‘soft traffic’ — humans, either walking or biking — often on their way to/from transit. once we manage to make these places more healthy and vital and livable, then we go onto the next area of town that the highway has destroyed. eventually, the re-vitalization process will become self-evident and self-reinforcing, with the utility of the highway greatly diminished with each on-ramp/off-ramp that is closed. in that way, it’ll be similar to what GM did to the electric streetcar networks, but we’ll be helping our cities rather than harming them.

let the second national freeway revolt begin!

Mott Haven deserves better.
