All the elevated sections are concrete with no asphalt dramatically increasing the noise too. I'm a bit radical in that I'd prefer the entire FDR just be removed. The problem with West Street is a bit similar. Yeah we have the linear park, but West Street is fucking huge and loud. It's a PITA to cross, literally bigger than some highways. If the FDR was torn down I'd rather see either nothing replace it, or a simple one-lane road. In FiDi the streets are small already, any replacement should be appropriately sized, not some 5 lane monster.
