I like this kind of big thinking. I grew up with the idea of moving I-40 and several cities removing freeways around their downtowns. Columbus has spent a ton on caps for their myriad of downtown freeways, and Syracuse (or Rochester?) removed a freeway recently. Dallas is talking about it right now with the (?)45 spur, and they're capping another leg of it by the Arts District.

We shouldn't be afraid of price tags bc everything is going up, including our revenues, which is a lucky position that we are in and may not always be in.
