Not suggesting that these could be or should have been built, but what about depressed freeways? These are a lot less intrusive than elevated ones... from 1 or 2 blocks away you can hardly hear or see a difference from street level... There are several around Richmond, and a few I can think of in a few other cities, and in terms of these qualities, they aren't as bad as grade-level freeways or elevated ones. But of course, they are generally 1-2 blocks wide, so there has been a demolition of historic housing stock, but this could be rectified by capping these freeways and building on top of them.
