Fix the 6/10
This is related to Moving Together Providence.
Rebuilding the 6/10 Connector was a major mistake. It should have been a ground-level boulevard, but instead we have a massive interchange of bridges that will have to be maintained at great expense for decades. The state government did not listen to the public.

Moving Together Providence
Arthur Eddy, Jonathan Harris, and James Kennedy have put together a website to champion major changes to the 6/10 connector in Providence, to transform it into a boulevard. AKA 6/10 Moving Together PVD.
The state government didn't listen to them, and they are still building bridges and interchanges in 2023. - ed.
