Hey, i didn't realize that USDOT released a list of applications to the Reconnecting Communities grant program (h/t @streetsblogmass)
Some that were notable to me:
DC asked for $2M to study the DC 295/I-295 corridor (!!!)
Providence (not RIDOT) asked for $1.6M to study an I-95 cap
Alexandria VA asked for $240K for a feasibility study for an I-395 West End ped Bike bridge (Landmark?).
@bikepedantic @streetsblogmass
Looks like that's a list of the projects that didn't receive funding 😔. At least someone's thinking about the 295 corridor!
I think the list of awards is at https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2023-02/RCP%20Fact%20Sheets%202022.pdf.
@notthatready yes that's correct
@bikepedantic The study could conclude massive benefits with no cost for the i95 cap and RIDOT would figure out a way to block it
@bikepedantic @streetsblogmass cool about alexandria
