Don't just 'rethink' I-94 through Rondo Reroute so the community can rebuild. By Jerome Johnson Text size Copy shortlink: Prominent among efforts to revitalize St. Paul's freeway-bisected Rondo neighborhood is the idea of placing a half-mile long lid over the freeway at Victoria Street, thereby creating a 20-acre linear park with complimentary residential and commercial development atop and astride the capped freeway ("How to connect and heal St. Paul's Rondo neighborhood," editorial, Feb. 17). Caps of this sort have worked elsewhere, and would no doubt work here. But you wonder what would be possible if Interstate 94 were removed, not just hidden, and 70 developable acres between Western Avenue and Hamline Avenue were repatriated to a Rondo community given short shrift by the tone-deaf highway planning practices of yesteryear.
