Is there a highway blighting your city? You're not alone, and you don't have to start a teardown campaign from scratch. People across the country have spearheaded efforts to take highways out of cities, and can help you hit the ground running. Learn how in "Spearheading a Successful Campaign."
Steven Nutter is an Advocacy Committee Member and Lead Volunteer at Livable Streets, a Boston-based organization who's list of successes includes making the monolithic McGrath Highway more livable. Dave Powell, Coordinator for the Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance, an advocacy group actively improving the south Bronx, doing so partly by taming the Sheridan Expressway. With some help from CNU President John Norquist, the pair discuss the mechanics of a freeway removal campaign. They offer best practices, effective messaging, grassroots outreach, and advocacy tactics that make up a winning freeway removal effort.
