No I think that it just adds to the congestion without adding to any general positive. Look at I-94 when you take it to Port Huron... if' you're not going to Canada, there's a boulevard that turns into a 5 lane congested roadway that mixes local traffic with those that are heading to the Lake Huron shoreline towns north of there. It's often very congested, and not a pleasant route, and definitely NOT pedestrian friendly.

I think covering the freeway with green spaces would be a better route, but neither plan is cost effective.

I just don't see the gain in doing this.
