Mark Gottlieb, associate director of UWM’s Institute for Physical Infrastructure and Transportation, discussed the pros and cons of removing I-794s east-west bridges with several media outlets in September.
According to Gottlieb, “It’s a question of land use, it’s a question of connectivity, but it’s also a question of safe and efficient movement of people and goods. That’s where the tradeoff really is here, between making some improvements to the existing freeway or taking it down to grade.”
