You guys are kind of narrowing in on my beef with this particular line of criticism against this project. Right, wrong, or otherwise, people like Sachs and the folks at COPIRG are asking for the near impossible. In a city that has nowhere near the walking or transit culture, they are asking that we act like San Francisco and remove a freeway. It just seems like they are about 20-30 years too early in fighting this kind of fight, and the energy would be better spent doing something positive like advocating for better inner-city transit. Instead, they're wasting their time, breath, and potentially even making enemies; going negative and trying to throw sand in the gears of a project that most agree needs to happen sooner than later for reasons other than just congestion.
