i know you're probably speaking rhetorically here, but it's my understanding that most (all?) cities that built urban expressways did so of their own volition, they just took the federal money to fund it.
so i don't know what legal recourse they could take today to help rectify the situation when the cities themselves decided to tear their own urban fabric apart, all in the name of "progress".
