Highway Boondoggles

Built between 1937 and 1964, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway is an enduring symbol of the destructive, car-centric transportation planning of the early- to mid-20th century.

Here's a self-defeating new highway that will merely exacerbate suburban sprawl — reinforcing the very conditions that are causing the traffic problems in the first place!

How bad is this boondoggle? Supporters are trying to sell it as if it includes a fancy deck plaza — which it does not.
