How would boulevards move traffic better, when there pedestrians and traffic lights all over place that will make it more longer and time consuming for commuters. Its like saying a bicycle is more reasonable than a motor bike.

Have you watched all "moving beyond the automobile" films? Do that, and you'll learn the causes of the traffic jam...

Some spanish subtitles are impossible to read (like those at 4:37). Some appear a long time, then some others show for less than a second. Congrats on the new international subtitles .

digging under ground is expensive and generally a waste of resources. Did you not pay attention to the film. boulevards move traffic at the same rate. I know for a fact the highways turned to boulevards in san fran have a higher rate of traffic flow then before there replacement.

If a evacuation ever happens they will regret ever removing a freeway and there gridlock traffic. They better plan to build a underground highway at least it will both please everybody. Highways that are important for commuters should be rerouted within the city or buried underground just like Boston and Sidney, not turn it into a boulevard that would not solve the problem.

So what I want to know is have there ever been any freeway removal project that weren't successful, and were unmitigated disasters because they didn't take into account the number of people in the city who used that road to move from one point to another quickly without having to deal with 40 minutes worth of traffic lights?

We're contemplating the removal of a piece of Interstate that travels trough downtown Syracuse for 1.4 miles, and while the people behind it say that it'll make things more beautiful and more human, I shudder to think of how long it'll take people to get from The Valley to the North Side.

Get your facts right, John Norquist. No traffic jams in Vancouver? Try spending more time here and see the traffic jams in downtown...especially leadiing to the Lions Gate Bridge and Highway 1 which DOES go through Vancouver.

I really hope that Interstate 280 in San Jose is ripped down, and that 87 is restored to a surface street.

WTF? Why is there no mention of Milwaukee!?! It was Norquist who had it removed when he was mayor of Milwaukee. His crusade across these other cities is because of what he learned in Milwaukee.

The terms highways and streets are typically interchangeable, so a more apt title would be freeway removal. There was a planning effort to remove a freeway in Detroit and replace it with a highway.

The Columbia River Crossing freeway expansion project in Washington State will have an exceptionally negative impace on Portland. It will induce more traffic as Clark Co. sprawls to the north, enabled by the new freeway interchanges. The likely result is that rather than removing I-5 from the east bank of the Willamette, we will need to enlarge it. Not the progressive direction Portland is known for.

I do not see much value, open-space-wise, in redeveloping the Alaska Way Viaduct in Seattle if the waterfront will remain in private hands. The main reason many parts of Vancouver are so livable is that the waterfront is almost all public parks. Traffic calming in Vancouver helps also. Seattle could easily expropriate most of the waterfront properties along the Alaska Way Viaduct for a fraction of the cost of the "tunnel option" of holding on to the freeway by rebuilding it underground.

Highway 2 here in Los Angeles has a portion that ends in echo park. it was supposed to connect to the 101 freeway and continue to the 405 freeway.

the stub cuts silverlake in half. other than rush hour this stub hardly provides any bebfits other than creating traffic on glendale blvd during rush hour. its a perfect candidate to be torn down and turned into a boulevard and reconnecting a very vibrant neighborhood.
