Blogger Writes History of Casey Overpass

Forest Hills resident Clay Harper has taken it upon himself to thoroughly research and write the story of the Casey Overpass.

Beginning with its original Olmstedian design and ending with his position on the current direction for the area's infrastructure, the Hampstead Road resident has garnered solid feedback on Twitter for the post on his blog, 500 Monkeys with Paintbrushes, which typically features commentary on art.

Harper's post features several historical photos he's unearthed - admittedly without permission.

The Casey Arborway project will involve the removal of the crumbling overpass in Forest Hills and replacement with an at-grade network of roads sometime in 2014.
