Why a Business Boulevard?
Photo comparison shows existing elevated interstate, with a price tag of $900 million to build the inner city connector that will be ready to drive on in 20 years. In contrast, a Business Boulevard costs a fraction of that at $60 million, and can be ready to welcome pedestrians and cars alike in only 3 years. A boulevard builds wealth. An elevated interstate only harms inner city neighborhoods.
What does that look like?
Business Boulevards prioritize pedestrians over vehicle capacity and speed. Here are a few photo examples, but any boulevard built locally should be tailored to the location and surrounding community needs.
