Congress for the New Urbanism
A report from an national urban planning think tank recommends the portion of Interstate 244 that runs through Tulsa s Greenwood neighborhood be torn down. This year marks the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre, when Black Wall Street was first destroyed, the Congress for the New Urbanism writes in its annual Freeways Without Futures report. Now would be a fitting time to carry forward a conversation about I-244’s removal. Preliminary investigation suggests it is more than feasible, the report reads. This one-mile segment of I-244 is hardly essential for regional travel and Tulsa has a second loop highway, the Gilcrease Expressway, only a few miles to the north. The outstanding question is how to best ensure the highway’s removal and a subsequent restoration of Greenwood helps Black Tulsans heal and thrive.
