Every Seattle neighborhood has a unique feel and sound. For South Park, that sound includes freight trucks and highway traffic. And it isn’t just noise — State Route 99 cuts the neighborhood completely in half.

Neighbors there are now trying to get the highway removed from their part of the city. Seattle Times transportation reporter David Kroman tells us about the fight to decommission the 99 in South Park.
