📕 Extra Credit: Should we tear down highways?

from We Built It That Way Hosted by Jordan Clark + AJ Fawver

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 --- Check us out on Twitter and Instagram @webuiltitpod. Hosted by AJ Fawver and Jordan Clark. Edited by Jordan Clark. Music in this episode: Sounds of the Supermarket, Isaac Horwedel, a 1985 Weather Channel broadcast, and Wire ("Lowdown")
