  • Loma Prieta Earthquake
    Case Studies of the Access and Mobility Impact of Freeway Removal Principal Investigator Graduate Research Assistant Dr. Norman Garrick Jason Billings University of Connecticut University of Connecticut Civil, U-2037, Storrs, CT 06269 Civil, U-2037, Storrs, CT 06269 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Throughout the United States, there is a growing movement to remove selected sections of freeways from city centers. Largely seen as a way to restore life and vitality to these areas, this strategy has the potential for numerous benefits including: 1) eliminating a physical and psychological barrier that divides city neighborhoods, 2) opening up land for redevelopment, 3) removing an aesthetic eyesore that takes away from a city’s character, 4) providing direct access to city businesses by restoring road networks and enhancing traffic circulation patterns. Even though the aforementioned benefits are intriguing by themselves, this concept also has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality within these cities. Removing freeways decreases total vehicle miles traveled by promoting walking, biking and mass transit use. Therefore, freeway removal can be seen as another mechanism to contend with the growing environmental issues facing the world. A handful of freeway sections have been removed or relocated from some cities within the United States and abroad. These cities provide a unique opportunity to investigate how such a major undertaking affects access and mobility of all transportation system users. A surprising view that has emerged is that removing these freeway sections has not resulted in traffic disruption as conventional theory would suggest. Instead, it appears that the overall traffic volume in many of these areas has actually decreased.

The report has been prepared for the Coalition by the Congress for the New Urbanism, a national leader in promoting walkable, neighborhood‐based development as an alternative to sprawl, with assistance from the National Endowment of the Arts and the Ford Foundation.
