If they build a high elevated I-395 it will only disrupt the adrienne arsht center. I think is excuses if the adrienne arsht center does not support the open cut, they can demand the open-cut to be parks right away when done, or they can just want the taller I-395 to block their view from pedestrians.
Does Chicago or New York have expressways crossing their city? No!! but they do have subways underground.

WE MUST MAKE THIS PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY!!!!

how we pay for it are alternatives. we can make this a better tourist friendly place and not only south beach.

An elevated east west highway would provide a shaded walkway across town and the street under it could be closed to become Miami’s living room competing with Lincoln Road. Sydney waterfront has such an elevated highway and under it is one of the heavesiet pedestrian areas of the city.
This would satify the need for a greenway from Biscayne Boulevard to 95 as suggested by the day long Bicentennial Park Charette in February of 2001 attended by by over 300 people. This was the charette in which the majority of participants wanted Bicentennial to be a traditional beautiful shaded green park with NO large buildings in it.

I support an open cut or tunnel for 395 and yes add green space. If open cut, deaden the noise with artistic sculptural coverings. .
