Graft

The graft involved - from back when JFK gave RJ $90 million in return for the 1960 Illinois vote to today when the remake mysteriously costs an extra $400 million - should be investigated. The smell is Chicago corruption,

Yes. Initial cost was supposed to be $10 million. But lo and behold they ran out of money. JFK gave them that 90. Costs were suddenly ten times what they'd been previously. Journos there know what happened.

I took this picture while stuck in traffic, I don't know if it's something that we'd want on the article or not. --Interiot 02:13, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Photo in Article

The picure in the article is not of the Dan Ryan Expressway. There are too few lanes, there was never so much accompanying green space (even in 1970) and by 1969, the CTA train line went down the middle of the expressway. Unless someone challenges this, I will remove photo.

It's right, on a technicality - the picture is of Genoa Avenue at the Dan Ryan, according to the FHWA. Genoa actually intersects I-57, which is part of the Dan Ryan West Leg, as it was called at the time. The picture should be kept, but I'll update the caption. —Rob (talk) 13:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Racial Discrimination

Anyone want to write about the way Richard J. Daley (then-mayor of Chicago) used the funds from the Federal-Aid Highway Act to isolate African American Neighborhoods? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.109.238 (talk) 05:45, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I only opened this Talk section to see if anyone had mentioned this. It's a critical part of its history and a strong reason why the neighborhoods went into decline. I think its important. "Urban renewal" at its finest, used to segregate the white neighborhoods from the growing black neighborhoods. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.88.49.226 (talk) 18:22, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
