It seems counterintuitive, right? Rip out the freeway through the middle of your metropolis and you’ll be rewarded with not only less traffic, but safer, more efficient cities? But it’s true, and it’s happening in places all over the world. 

Downtown Durham, Inc. is committed to supporting rich discussions that will help our community achieve its amazing potential. The first of DDI’s new Speaker Series brings Ian Lockwood, PE who is a leader in urban freeway removal policy and design. Ian will share case studies from cities of all sizes around the US that have reunited their cities through urban freeway removal projects.
