[sustran] Re: Successful campaigns against roads - info request

[David Mozer]

Back in the 1960's the citizens of Seattle stopped the R.H. Thompson
Expressway, which would have cut a huge swath through the city, including
virtually destroying a large arboretum.

Hi

Campaign for a Better City in Wellington New Zealand is collating
information on
successful public campaigns against major roading projects.  We are aware of
Portland in the US, Brisbane in Australia, and Toronto in Canada (though
would
appreciate any sources of detailed info on these) and are looking for other
examples from around the globe.

Any information or pointers to sources of information would be great.

Thanks in anticipation
Roland
