Future
Various proposals for the isolated highway stub have been floated: in addition to the proposed use of its public transit right of way, it has also been suggested that the road be dismantled, with land filled for new homes to replace the ones that had been demolished for the freeway's construction. In 2010, demolition work began on the structures at the western edge of the highway that had been intended to link to the wider Interstate system and had never been used by automobiles; by 2012, these will be replaced by green space and a parking lot. The remaining section of the highway is still key to the proposed Red Line project.
