You've heard of the "Dead Freeways Ride?" Well, while many freeways were stopped in the 20th Century, some were not. These monolithic megaroads still exist today, worn out and clogged with life-choking cars. . We'll check out these anachronistic relics from the Age of Motordom, and see how they're serving 21st Century needs. We'll mix historical snippets from the Robert Moses Plan of 1966 with contemporary observation, and discuss ways to repurpose the space and infrastructure to meet the needs of the 21st Century. . 10 miles, 2 hours. Break midway, bring snacks & water.
