Notice the construction around the Lincoln Tunnel and Dyer Avenue? That’s the new $11 billion Port Authority Bus Terminal taking shape.
Steel girders are going up to create “deckovers” above the expressways, which will open up three-and-a-half acres of new public green space for the neighborhood.

The absolute and complete gutting of urban expressways, and all that follows from that. Every city I have lived in (Boston, Baltimore, Providence, Rochester) is worse off because of their presence

In concept it dates back to the 50s but it was expected to be more median-running on 57 and 94. The expressways were constructed anticipating rapid transit (and still have extra-wide medians as far as 119th on 57), but the earliest reference to running via the UPRR corridor I could find was 2003

Was red-lining wrong? Was creating expressways across Black neighborhoods and leaving white ones untouched wrong? Was a race to sell a house before property values decreased wrong? My grandparents lived in an area that became largely black. They stayed. They lived. The area eventually changed again

‘Punctured cycle can’t run on UP expressways’: Nitin Nabin takes dig at SP
Gorakhpur, Nov 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Nitin Nabin on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP), saying that a "punctured cycle" could not run on the expressways of Uttar Pradesh, while expressing confidence that the BJP would secure another victory in the 2027 Assembly elections. Nabin led the BJP's 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' march in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, alongside Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and state BJP president Pankaj Chaudhary. The party claimed that a large number of its workers, office-bearers and supporters from all 12 districts of the Gorakh region participated in the march.

That I knew from previous posts, but you said you were taking a trip on one of the expressways which means you're heading South or maybe only to Yilan. If you are going to Tainan (the city not the country side) I could provide some suggestions.

This sounds a little insane, but the amount of potholes on paved roads and expressways is actually close to zero in China.
Driving on the roads in China versus the roads in America is a very different experience.

![Wessie du Toit: Absolutely brutal from a BYD spokesman on designing cars for European conditions. “The speed limit in China is 90 kilometres per hour [56 mph]. In Europe you need to make cars good for Autobahn. You need to make cars for the potholes in the UK. You need to make cars good for the mountain roads in Italy. So, this requires a lot of dedicated R&D in Europe, which is the reason why we're building the R&D team in Budapest and that's why we have the design team in Milan."
Bill: "You need cars to go faster in Europe". The idea there are no potholes in China is hilarious.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gujnzolp2n4upahg3zb6u6zx/bafkreibjxnsr6t77amylrt2pjq7got62e42ltagqchuztggclzc5yuxacy)

He was honest: there's more pushback on bike lanes now than a couple of years ago. People who drive blame bike lanes and pedestrian streets for congestion.
But no new expressways are coming. A city of 4 million can't keep moving if most trips stay in single-occupant cars.
