Our way or the highway Can you picture the government knocking on your door and telling you they are going to knock down your house? During our project we created maps that displayed various problems that would arise under these circumstances. Our maps included the effects of traffic and accidents, crimes around the highway relocation, and how the highways affect ethnic groups, land and building values. Our maps all had to do with the affects of I-195 and the highways in Providence.
