Q. Has the city ever considered a “lid” over the North Main Corridor? This would hide the road and provide new territory for riverside developments, like New York’s Hudson Yards.
A. Lids are incredibly costly–New York City’s infrastructure cost alone at Hudson Yards was $3.5 billion. Ryan Tobias of TreeDownTown.com emails that a Main St. lid “would probably be prohibitively expensive especially considering you would probably have to bury Main Street first.”
