aaahhh.......the truth comes out:
I-94 and I-35E did have significant impact on some neighborhoods, but would it have been better to have never built I-94, or I-35E. They benefit to the region and the downtown Saint Paul FAR outweighed the impact of have our City isolated from the interstate system. Without it, would our Saint Paul residents that work in the West Metro or East Metro (that's OK right?) have stayed here.
Having lived my life in Summit Hill, Highland Park and now the West Side (the part hacked off "from the rest" by 52 where people leave up to 3 stolen cars a month stripped right in front of my home on Concord) I can honestly say that until you feel, see, know and hear what it is like to live in a neighborhood where heavy impacts are beyond your control you just can't be taken seriously by me because that means you are willing to make "our" sacrifice.
