Routing I-64 through downtown

You know how people in Huntington used to complain every other week about how Interstate 64 should have been built downtown, perhaps along the Ohio River, instead of just south of town? About how not having I-64 downtown has hurt the city?

As it happens, I-64 was built through downtown Louisville, along the river, effectively separating much of that city’s downtown from the Ohio. And now there is a debate over whether billions of dollars should be spent moving the road to another location.

Don't look here for a profound or pithy comment. It's just that what some in Huntington want, Louisville has, and vice versa.
