A New Dallas

I saw this on WALKABLE Dallas-Fort Worth and was excited about the idea: http://anewdallas.com/ 

Thank you, googlemaps. The arrow is pointing to IH 345.

 Let's rip out IH 345, which divides Downtown from Deep Ellum and reinstate the traditional urban grid. The movement points out that the purpose of transportation is bringing people and goods together, not driving them apart. And, a gigantic highway through town drives people apart, literally. 

Big D, in the fifties.

Would this be better than building more parks over highways? Yes, yes it would.
