A new report calls for the removal of America’s 10 worst urban highways, including I-70 through Denver’s mostly Latino neighborhoods of Elyria, Swansea, and Globeville. Local activists see the report as a chance to renew their calls to stop its $1.6 billion expansion — especially after electing Gov. Jared Polis — who campaigned on cutting vehicle emissions and increasing mass transit. (Streetsblog Denver)
