Houston, let's put a park on I-10
A once in a generation opportunity to reconnect a community divided by Interstate 10
We propose adding a "cap" or "lid" to the below grade sections of I-10
A capped highway is a type of roadway where a deck or park is built over the top, turning the area above into a usable public space like a park. We propose capping I-10 between Memorial Park and Patterson, which is already sunken into the ground, as a part of the Inner Katy Managed Lanes project from TxDOT.
TxDOT's plan for the Inner Katy Managed Lanes Project involves either widening or raising I-10, in order to build more managned (HOV) lanes. TxDOT asserts that this project will alleviate congestion; however, historical evidence consistently demonstrates that widening highways does not effectively resolve congestion.
What does this mean for Houston?
