Hi folks—it’s the start of a new month and the perfect time for a “relaunch” of our Twitter presence for the Connecting the Interstates project. We’ve been laying the groundwork behind the scenes and now it’s time to get this show on the ROAD 😉
To the surprise of absolutely no one, I will spend this ??? hour road-trip to Philly ruminating on the interstate system (I-95) and how overwhelmed and overrun it is (even when half the DMV population ISNT on their way to see Taylor Swift)
There’s a metaphor in here somewhere about the experience of navigating @Ticketmaster to get @taylorswift13 tickets and navigating I-95 N to get to Philly. If I had more energy or a computer to do more research, I would do something with that.

In the 40s & 50s, Robert Moses cut a seven mile long gash through The Bronx to build the Cross Bronx Expressway, displacing over 60,000 people in some of the most racially-integrated communities in the country.

If you, like me, have long been wondering about how to create historical roads data, don't miss this paper from @JohannesHUhl1, Stefan Leyk, @yaoyichiang, and Craig Knoblock! cc @interstatehwys @versae

Huge thanks is due to @nowurbanism for hosting the #CTIworkshop @DumbartonOaks. It is a gem of a site and a major supporter of all kinds of study of the built environment.
So awesome to spend a couple days thinking thru public history and the interstate! Thank you @lwinling for making it happen.
