WMS Map: Auburn Arterial
About Auburn Arterial ....
Forty years ago, Auburn was in the midst of one of the most transformative periods in its history: urban renewal.
The transformation mostly consisted of three distinct but inseparable components: the demolition and replacement of several downtown buildings through the City Center Urban Renewal Project, the construction of the Arterial highway and the creation of Loop Road.
Even today, conflicting feelings linger over the transformation — many of which concern how Auburn, with assistance from the state and federal governments, accomplished it.
