Public housing is to the south of East Adams.  University area already effectively extends north to East Genesee street, well north of East Adams and directly west of downtown.

Public housing is hardly a barrier, geographically, to the union of the university and downtown.

And how about a really novel idea, instead of killing a vibrant minority community by building a highway through the middle of it, how about giving that same minority community economic opportunity by dismantling the primary barrier to that opportunity.

Thirty years ago, 96th street in Manhattan was the DMZ.  Today, Harlem is an incredibly vibrant economic area of NYC, with a mixed population...

When I attended Nottingham back in the 80s, it was 1/3rd white, 1/3rd black and 1/3rd everything else...Have to think it is the same today...think about SYRACUSE (ie.a fused downtown/university) with Ethiopian, Libyan, Turkish, Lebanese, Pakistani, Vietnamese restaurants...

We don't have a river for a river walk but I could see a San Antonio type concept with bike trail, jogging/walking trail...

What is nice is that downtown and the university are in a relatively condensed geographical area.  Easy to link them up.
