Matter Practice apply the idea to Washington Heights, specifically the twelve-lane Trans-Manhattan Expressway, a tunnel in the heart of Manhattan that is completely overloaded (Washington Heights). Their idea is to break open the tunnel, slow down the traffic and create urban spaces. The flow of traffic will become part of city life: Cafés, room for pedestrians and new shops can come into existence.
