An INTERSTATE highway, even one in an urban area is LIMITED ACCESS, NO BIKE LANES, and many times NOT STREET LEVEL.
They are meant to provide quick travel between centers of commerce and real work activity and those individuals who SUPPORT that.
Go on ahead and tear it down and make that stretch of road dangerous to travel or even get stuck in looking for help. Just more crime.
In reality, Buttigieg could give a crap about it. Just another Biden vote getter ploy. If you get some time try looking on the internet how Mayor Petey addressed the concerns of his own city consituents (black ladies) concerned over his actions (inaction) with police interactions with the locals.
If Mayor Petey wants to address real questions, why doesn’t he question why Hawaii, a sea-locked state BY ITSELF has ANY interstate highways at all... Yep....and they do the same thing this stretch in question does..
Nobody lives there anymore. They no longer need an interstate. Last one out of Detroit, please turn off the lights.
