Abstract:

"Jokes aside, Interstate 277 is one of the worst mistakes in Charlotte history---a clogged, dangerous monstrosity that severed neighborhoods from each other, displaced hundreds of families, and continues to hinder opportunities for citizens. What would have to happen to make it disappear?" The major road development was completed in 1988. Current efforts to lessen some of the negative effects of the road have slowed owing to NCDOT's recent financial crunch.
