I interviewed Diana Lind yesterday, November 18th, from Next City Magazine about the issues of I-95 for the DRWC Master Plan. Something that I found interesting that Diana pointed out was that Philadelphia has a property vacancy problem, and by tearing down I-95 the city will add to that problem. We discussed how I-95 may not be the issue, but instead Columbus Blvd. Finding smarter aesthetic solutions for I-95 is the best direction to go in because city leaders are not advocating to tear it down. This is causing Philadelphia citizens to have a hesitant attitude about the matter. Therefore, organized groups have not formed to fight the issue.
