For anyone that questions the value of this project, consider the other factors besides traffic flow. Fairview is a large area, its proximity to downtown and midtown should make it one of the best neighborhoods in town, but whats the problem? Eight lanes of traffic cutting right through the middle of it with road construction plans floating around for decades preventing anyone from developing quality housing there. Cut & bury highways work really well, I've used them in Boston and been in the neighborhood above. While I agree it would have been better to do a project like this when we had more cash to throw around, it is an important project regardless. The increase in property values, taxes and quality of life for those that live there or will live there is worth it.
