	+ ------ + ''2007-02-19 12:55:59'' [[nbsp]] I can't think of another city in the US that has a highway running this tightly around it. Sure cities have beltways, but they are much wider than the 1-mile radius that is the Inner Loop. So what now? While I personally don't like it myself, I do think that it can be helpful on some levels. Seeing as how the highway is in place, and much of the eastern (controversial) portion lies beneath the city level, do you think it would be feasible/practical to cover it, and have an underground highway, a-la Boston’s Big Dig? Just looking at the current layout, (and I say this having no civil engineering training) I would have the underground portion beginning just after the St. Paul exit, continue around the northern and eastern portions, and end at the 490 interchange. This would leave the most important exits (Clinton, Plymouth/Broad, and St. Paul) untouched, and would allow Rochester to keep it’s transportation infrastructure while getting rid of the inner loop’s squeeze on downtown. --["BiffWebster"]

Built not for the benefit of those who actually live in the city, but for those who merely wish to travel through it as quickly as possible. That is why so many city dwellers are so anti-loop. The satelite view shows the grim truth of how much of a noose around the city ti is. So much destruction not only for the path of the loop, but for all the on ramps as well. On the east side, between Main St. and Monroe Ave, if you combine the Loop, and the two streets running next to it (Pitkin and Union) there are EIGHT TO NINE LANES OF TRAFFIC for a trickle of vehicles, even at rush minute (rochester ain't big enough for an hour) - 490, 390, and 590 at their widest aren't even that big. --["DinoKolios"]
