This is probably not a book that will suck you in unless you are a serious infrastructure or urbanism nerd. Kimble uses several examples of highway projects, mostly in her home state of Texas, to paint the picture of the human impacts of urban highways. As you might expect, it's a largely discouraging story, and the victories of highway expansion opponents are few and often temporary. Reading the book after November 2024 makes me even less hopeful of what the USDOT will support going forward.
