More than 20% of households near the corridor lack a car..

Ever been to the west side of MKE? It's where poor black folks live.

How are we still demolishing neighborhoods like this with highways?

Just one more lane man, I'm good for it.

And here in Minnesota we're considering boulevarding I-94 in the former Rondo neighborhood (which was a poor mostly black neighborhood that they destroyed to build I-94 in the first place). This is why we're better than you, Wisconsin. :P

Who's taxes are going to pay for the extra maintenance?
