Octavia Blvd Rightsizing
Octavia Blvd RightsizingProject for Public Spaces
Ìý
Octavia Boulevard in San Francisco was designed to replace a freeway that was removed after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The new boulevard accommodates vehicles entering and exiting the area while prioritizing pedestrian and cyclist safety through traffic calming measures. Since being constructed, the neighborhood has experienced increased transit use, job growth, rising property values without the gridlock that was initially feared.Park East Freeway Rightsizing
Park East Freeway RightsizingProject for Public Spaces

The Park East Freeway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin was only 0.8 miles long and underutilized, depreciating nearby property values. Local government boards and councils supported tearing it down to free up 26 acres for development. The area has since attracted $175 million in investment like a new mixed-use building, while a form-based code ensures compatible infill development and restoration of the urban fabric. Temporary art installations demonstrated the cultural potential without the freeway, and traffic now runs smoothly on the surface road that replaced it.USGBC Membership | Help drive the green building movement
