Here’s your opportunity to contribute to CNU’s list of top highway-to-boulevard prospects. America’s highway-building era brought elevated freeways that cut huge swaths through our cities, decimating neighborhoods and reducing quality of life for residents. A joint project of CNU and the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) has already helped replace plans for a rebuilt waterfront Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle with a streets-and-transit plan. And in Buffalo, the project has turned public opinion against a DOT-backed plan that retains a waterfront freeway. With your help, CNU and the Center for Neighborhood Technology are now forming a national list of similar urban highways that should be transformed into surface streets, instead of rebuilt in their current, or expanded form. Fill out this survey to tell us about highways that are ripe for replacement: cnu.org/teardownsurvey
