📕 Extra Credit: Should we tear down highways?

  • Résumé

  • We're trying something new! This is the first in our 'Extra Credit' series, where we take a reading and discuss our takeaways, for your listening pleasure.

    In this episode, we discuss an article that ran in Texas Observer in 2021: What If the State Department of Transportation Tore Down Texas Highways? by Megan Kimble.

    We talk about:

    • what impact urban highways have on cities (and how they are different from rural highways)
    • the "interesting" ways Texas's Department of Transportation publicly talks about transportation
    • why people want to tear down some highways (are they just maniacs??)
    • pros and cons of urban highways
    • and a lot more!

    We also mention an article in The Guardian that came out the week we recorded:

    • ‘It’s just more and more lanes’: the Texan revolt against giant new highways
