Renovated Park Slope Two-Bedroom With Wood Floors, Mantel Asks $1.195 MillionDecking over sounds great, using the underside for delivery hubs seems useful, but the idea that people are going to want to hang out and enjoy a space under a piece of polluting infrastructure sounds like putting lipstick on a pig.

Step one of any fix is to prepare the ground level road for BQE traffic, but they can't even start on it. At some point, the road will fail and people will get hurt.

If there's a downside to those projects, I don't see them.
