For everyone downvoting me, I have nothing against high speed rail. I would love to have that as an option, but my city is literally never going to build one.
Well, one possible solution can be found in Brightline’s attempt to build a high speed rail between LA and Vegas. 96% of it is in the I-15 highway median. (Source: https://www.brightlinewest.com/overview/project)
Yes, I know that won’t work everywhere and there isn’t always a highway median. I’m just pointing this out as one situation in which someone does have a (planned) solution to the problem of a highway already being there.
Also, we expand highways on a regular basis in the United States, and that often means demolishing things next to them. Perhaps there are alternative uses for that space?
Worst part is that was already so to build the highways (and on traditionally black neighbourhoods to boot).
Yeah, but there’s already a freeway here.
