Along with the Pulaski Expressway, the Lansdowne Expressway, the Roosevelt Expressway, the Woodhaven Expressway, and the 695 Island Ave / Cobbs Creek Expressway! I don’t have any other word to call the people who stood in the way of these roads but IDIOTS. Now we are stuck with DAILY traffic jams on 76, 676, and 95. They can’t handle the traffic and were NEVER MEANT TO. All of the aforementioned IDIOTS who protested against the construction of these ESSENTIAL highways are mostly dead now. Most people today blindly accept that the traffic is never going to get better, and have never even HEARD of these roads. I do not accept it. It is unacceptable to have a 20 mile traffic backup on the Schuylkill every day. It is time for all of these roads to be re-introduced by the Planning Commission and be constructed at last.

He played a big part in providing pro-bono legal advice to the opponents of this project.
