Have the fwy/expy scars in your city healed yet?

Let's face it....when those expressways and freeways of the interstate hwy. system came ripping through your cities in the 1950's and 1960's (and paved the path to exodus to suburbia), they tore into the urban fabric, separated neighborhood from neighborhood, and brutalized their immediate environment. But now we're close to 40 years removed from the destruction the expressway/freeway system did....and during that time, greenery has been placed on road embankments, new and sometimes quality construction has gone up alongside the highways, parts of roads have been placed underground and a general desire to soften the effect of the 1950's-1960's has been evident in many cities. So how about your home town? Have the scars of the way the expressways and freeways been healed? Have their sides been softened? Has new costruction drawn to their sides? And, most importantly, have they actually become a valued part of the urban framework? HAVE THE SCARS OF YOUR CITY'S FREEWAY OR EXPRESSWAY SYSTEM FINALLY HEALED....OR IS THE SYSTEM STILL AN UGLY AND DIVISIVE MESS?>
