Should be Hastings.

I agree...

As an Eastsider, I feel slighted by this project. They are closing freeway access to downtown for the East Side only.

Also, did we need a new commercial corridor where the freeway is? The existing corridors don't seem to be thriving.

I'm in favor of this, though doubt it will be anywhere near the stupendous game-changer that the planners are hyping. I'm thinking something more along the lines of how Rosa Parks Blvd. replaced the post-1967 vacant lots of Twelfth St. Useful new buildings, but with an unavoidably sterile/generic feel. It's also hard to see how it will be especially pedestrian friendly; the route will still serve as a conduit to downtown from I-75.

Might as well bring back Paradise Valley Commercial District, too. First time in history to covert a freeway to a boulevard.

Let's called it Hastings Bvld.

You feel how you feel, but it's not like you can't get downtown on a freeway without 375, you are literally at Ford Field when it splits off 75. When the time comes I think they should remove the section of the Lodge below the Fisher as well, and I guess equity would then be restored.
