I would really like to see the freeway removal studies/discussion reduced to an analysis of instances where major, mainline, cross-country routes have been removed (or relocated).

It's one thing to take out a spur interstate in a coastal city. A beltway connection. Etc. those are expendable. We really can't just remove a chunk of I-10/20/40/70/80/90 without providing some viable alternative through route.

Granted, it should have never been jammed through central Denver in the first place. But regardless of that mistake, the nation still needs some way through or around Denver.
