Regional planners are recommending against freeway expansion on I-94 between the zoo interchange and downtown as well as I-43 from Glendale to the airport interchange.

This represents a major victory for opponents of freeway expansion in the city of Milwaukee. It also indicates that Milwaukee has reasserted itself as the primary voice in planning infrastructure, as opposed to fifty years ago when the feds, the state of Wisconsin, and the area's affluent suburbs completely ignored the sentiments of city residents and destroyed urban culture in the name of "urban renewal."
