I suspect that certain entities might oppose this because it would then increase the number of people who could see it working with cancelled freeways, such as I-95 within Washington, D.C.

Not only to bring green space where it is sorely lacking but also to connect many neighborhoods which are essentially cut off from one another with great ped/bike connections. The community/gathering space it would create would revitalize many neighborhoods. Too bad no one in power is this city cares about these things. This would go a lot further to revitalize downtown than a bunch of pricey lofts. This really is an excellent idea.
