Tearing down that thoroughfare is part of a major project to re-design and rebuild that traffic corridor as (supposedly) a more pedestrian-friendly development that would also miraculously help to erase the sin of its origins: responsibility for the displacement of hundreds of Black families and the destruction of an entire community.
