So declares Bonnie Teeuwen ODOT's returning District 12 chief in this month's AAA Motorist, as she describes the Opportunity Corridor, [1] the proposed highway from East 55th St. to University Circle. Well, count me as one person, who is not everyone. I think the plan stinks. I want to see a return to civilized boulevards in this city. Real tree-lined boulevards. [2] I think that there should be a way to make federal and state funds available to restore our boulevards (to include bikes): East Boulevard, West Boulevard, Martin Luther King Boulevard, Lakeshore Boulevard, Clifton Boulevard..And redesign other thoroughfares that should be boulevards : Chester, Superior, Detroit, Broadway, Harvard-Denison, Miles and Pearl. We need to size down, not up. And, what's the point of the Euclid Corridor, if we are building a parallel corridor for the rich folks?
