The downtown streets sometimes suffer from traffic problems, so to combat this city planners in the 1960's developed a controversial plan for a six-lane elevated freeway called Harbour Drive. This project was cancelled due to protesters, angry at the proposed destruction of many historic buildings. All that remains of the project today is the Cogswell Interchange, a massive concrete mass that some consider a barrier between the North End and the downtown area. Its demolition or replacement with a less sprawling and wider-laned structure is currently being considered. Traffic problems are currently avoided through the use of one-way streets, and mass transit. High-capacity freeway interchange in Los Angeles, California. ...
