Even as cities try to heal the damage of the interstate era, we are also continuing to expand our urban highways, continuing to turn parks and neighborhoods into new lanes and new off-ramps. So why is...

Truly nuts. They bring in nearly twice as much lotto money per capita as the state that’s second. @iancoss.bsky.social did a great podcast series about it. Come for the political maneuvering, stay for the accents. www.wgbh.org/podcasts/scr...
Scratch & Win
“Scratch & Win” follows the unlikely rise of America’s most successful lottery. We begin in 1970s Boston, with state bureaucrats going toe to toe with mafia bookmakers, and each other, as they struggl...

Visiting the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge is an eerie experience. Today on the Highway Teardown Tour we take the trip and find out why the bridge’s future is so contentious. Out in the Big Dig feed today.
The Big Dig podcast has a Highway Teardown Tour. I love stories about infrastructure. This is an interesting podcast about cities figuring out solutions for crumbling old highways. #infrastructure share.google/GkVGfo59MMPe...

Seriously - Any East Coast New Englander not following @iancoss.bsky.social for the Cod Father. Shame, Shame 😂 - but more delightful to share with family & friends of that time. The Cod Father. (& of course the Big Dig.) Such fun. The historical views - 👨🍳 on @wgbh.org
Every American city has a divisive old highway, every American city is trying to figure out what to do with it…
jtkindt@jtkindt.bsky.social · 2mo agoAs @iancoss.bsky.social suggested, the Austin episode of the highway teardown tour helped me understand the issues facing #ATL (and why it seems like nobody on this site thinks the Stitch was a good idea.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Several voices from the podcast, but unedited and in direct conversation with each other. Should be interesting! LIVE in New Bedford next week!
The New Bedford Light@newbedfordlight.bsky.social · 2mo agoGBH News and The New Bedford Light present a live conversation about the podcast “Catching The Codfather.” Moderated by GBH’s Ian Coss, the event will bring together a range of voices and perspectives from the podcast. ➡️ Join us Monday, June 15, 6 to 7:30 p.m. Cook Memorial Theater, Whaling Museum.
@iancoss.bsky.social As a Rochester native now living in Boston, I thoroughly enjoyed your podcast about the Inner Loop. Quite a trip down memory lane, and it gave me hope for Rochester’s downtown, its adjacent neighborhoods, and the people who live there. May they be a model for the country.
Excited about the opportunities in Rochester to remove the rest of the Inner Loop. The latest from @iancoss.bsky.social's Highway Teardown Tour.

"That highway is now gone, replaced by lovely walking paths and a bike lane. Predictions of Carmaggedon circulated by Chicago drivers have not materialized." Reminds me of this podcast series happening now bsky.app/profile/ianc...
Ian Coss@iancoss.bsky.social · 2mo agoToday on the Highway Teardown Tour: Rochester NY! Home of the 'garbage plate' (pictured). I assure you the story of the city's highways is equally layered and spicy. It's out in the Big Dig feed today.

A good Highway Teardown Tour episode: the I-81 viaduct through Syracuse. The fights over just 5 minutes of driving time are crazy (and 481 has plenty of capacity for the extra traffic). via @iancoss.bsky.social

Very excited about the Syracuse ep of our tour. It is the smallest city we visited by far, but don’t let that fool you. Big things are happening right now in Syracuse, and other cities can learn from it.
WRVO Public Media@wrvo.org · 3mo agoCan you rewrite an interstate map? In a new episode of "The Big Dig (produced by @wgbh.org), host @iancoss.bsky.social tackles the logistics and community equity behind removing Syracuse's I-81 viaduct. Listen to the episode, recorded live at The MOST.
The Highway Teardown Tour has arrived in the feed. 10 cities over the next 10 weeks, followed by a return to Boston and the final untold chapter of The Big Dig itself... But we start, where else but New York City and the BQE. In the feed TODAY.
