This is the first I’ve read “2062.” Cripes. I agree completely with you that Highbury should have been given that full expressway treatment (or as close to it as possible), rather than widening Airport. As you say, it was already halfway there. Now we have a freeway Highbury halfway up, and then way to the east (too far to be of much utility until a few more years of sprawl), half of a freeway all the way up.
