<br />Submitted by Mayor Kysylyczyn <br /> <br />From "Miami Herald" (06115/02 <br /> <br />3-13 <br /> <br />New UrbanIsts back <br />razing of expressways <br /> <br />BY ANDRES VIGLUGCI <br /> <br />aviglucci@herald.com <br /> <br />Once admired as marvels of <br />engineering, today held in <br />growing scorn, the elevated <br />highways that slice through the <br />heart of many American down- <br />towns are being torn down in <br />city after city, bringing acres of <br />urban blight back to life. <br />And, said experts at a <br />national conference of urban <br />revivalist planners and design- <br />,ers in Miami Beach, if it can <br />happen in places as different as <br />Portland, San Francisco, Mil- <br />waukee and Chattanooga, it can <br />,be..done in Miami, too. <br />"It's the kind of thing that's <br />going to happen all over the <br />country," said John Norquist, <br /> <br />the mayor of Milwaukee, where <br />a half-mile expressway spur <br />span~ing the city's l'ivc.ris <br />about to be dismantled to clear <br />the way for a new district of <br />lofts and apartments. <br />The can-do message deliv- <br />ered by a panel of the Congress <br />for the New Urbanism - an <br />increasingly influential group <br />that seeks to contain suburban <br />sprawl and foster urban rede- <br />velopment - could not have <br />been more timely for Miami <br />activists pushing for demolition <br />of the Interstate 395 overpass <br />north of downtown. <br />A new proposal to bury the <br />roadway and cover it with a <br />grand boulevard has been <br /> <br />.
