|June 03, 2025

While the iconic thoroughfare is long overdue for structural and aesthetic improvements, embarking on an ambitious overhaul just before a high stakes international event risks creating more problems than solutions. The President's decision underscores the need for less disruptive alternatives that still meet the goals of readiness, security, and presentability.
