CPR News tested the air quality at the Central 70 Cover Park to see whether it reduced pollution.
Considering that this is being looked at for I-35, the air quality questions should be asked. Some say capping could improve air quality, others think the opposite. If it’s capped and the air pollution doesn’t leak through the cap — where does it go?
Personally I think it’s ridiculous that the state isn’t converting the tolled bypass into the new I-35 and preventing through traffic on the huge ugly polluting gash running through the middle of town. What a boondoggle.
Yeah I’m not sure how they think covering one section of a highway will minimize pollution. The fumes will find a way out somehow, unless the highway is fully enclosed and there are exhaust fans that suck the fumes into air filters before being pushed out.
