From Matt Golas:
In reacting to the visioning, PennDot's Rina Cutler said, "We should look for short-term gains such as public transit infrastructure on the waterfront instead of worrying about burying I-95." Cutler and PennDot are currently in the midst of reconstructing the Girard Avenue interchange on I-95 and are weighing various ways to create green space around that reconstruction.

Why is it that we cannot assume that I-95 **will** give way to real riverfront access? Why is it that other cities can move highways, but for some reason we in Philly & in Pennsylvania are less capable?
We should not permit yet ourselves to be distracted by yet another example of the attitude that gives us such a second-class stature in the eyes of many others.
Sorry, folks. I am just tired of giving up, of giving in...
