There’s a good chance the new Democrat-controlled government in Washington will pass a $435 billion economic justice bill called S5065. Significant to the Bay Area: it includes a $10-billion pilot program aimed at helping communities tear down urban highways. That could finally push forward some long-sought freeway dismantling in the Bay Area. “The rest of the Central Freeway and the northern end of I-280 are reaching the end of their useful lives, and ought to be removed,” wrote Livable City’s Tom Radulovich, in an email to Streetsblog. “It would be a shame if San Francisco didn’t receive some of the proposed federal grants to do so sooner rather than later.”
