Over half a century ago the US interregional highway system was built in a way that adversely impacted urban communities, specifically communities of color. Cities across the country are grappling with how to address this history while updating aging transportation infrastructure. Two theories in planning have emerged to address these complex issues, restorative and reparative planning. This Professional Report explores these theories in the context of revisioning I-35 in Austin. It develops a literature review, project profiles, historic archival research, and a content analysis on qualitative accounts from stakeholders involved in I-35 revisioning efforts. The report concludes with an assessment and reflection on the feasibility, opportunities, and barriers for implementing a restorative and/or reparative vision for I-35 in Austin. |
