Freeways Without Futures highlights the efforts of local campaign organizers and activists seeking to revitalize their communities by dismantling the city highways that burden them with the significant health hazards of vehicle exhaust, a loss of local businesses and services, and streets that are hostile to pedestrians. The highways featured in these reports are too costly to rebuild and for too long have segregated and polluted nearby neighborhoods and communities. Now, with many of them reaching the end of their designed lifespan, it is time to repair the damage and channel the benefits unlocked by taking down an expressway to serve the members of the current community. Media inquiries: Contact​ Lauren Mayer
