I-195 Park is an amazing waterfront public space constructed after a highway was relocated out of Downtown Providence, Rhode Island. The opening reception at CNU 33 this year was held here.

At our 2025 CNU FL Annual Meeting, we will be discussing ongoing proposals for highway transformation projects in Florida. Join us at the Tampa Convention Center September 3-5!

In 2011, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation pulled off a very difficult feat: It removed a highway from Providence’s urban core. There were three main factors that made this removal politically feasible:

1. Removing the highway from the urban core didn’t mean getting rid of it entirely.
2. The original placement of the highway was inefficient even for cars.
3. The highway was so deteriorated that it had to be replaced either way.

While the highway still exists and still prioritizes traffic efficiency, it takes up less land, sticks to the edge of the neighborhood, and causes far less damage. This is a small step that DOTs should consider when allocating transportation funding.
