Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said it’s up to the federal government to remedy its past infrastructure wrongs that have harmed valuable local communities. A video on the subject, shared first with NBC News on Monday, highlights the “Chinatown Stitch” project, an urban design initiative to cap over the Vine Street Expressway in Philadelphia’s Chinatown with green space.
“The Chinatown community and surrounding neighborhoods have long suffered the ill effects of the Vine Street Expressway I-676,” the press release said. “With over 100,000 vehicles a day passing through, the expressway presents ongoing problems including traffic crashes, threats to pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, and air and noise pollution. Clearly, an infrastructure solution is needed to address these harms.
