You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Source 1 (Gale EBooks: Interstate Highway Act: Was the Interstate Highway System Beneficial to the United States?) will be used to outline and give a brief overview of many negative impacts of the interstate highway system. It can also provide as a general source if I am unable to find specific data, but still want to include an impact.

Source 2 (American Railroads) will be used to identify specific impacts the interstate system had on the US rail network. While I was unable to find sufficient data on passenger rail, it is evident that the interstate system was the nail in the coffin. This source provides good data for freight rail.

Source 3 (Atlanta segregation) will be used for specific examples to show how the interstate system was used to create barriers between white and black neighborhoods, as well as a good source for showing "white flight" following the construction of the interstates.

Source 4 (Removing urban highways) will be used to show how interstates have continued segregation, succeeding redlining and other now illegal tactics. The source is also good for showing how the interstates are affecting people today: pollution, increased chance of industrial buildings being built thus increasing pollution further, decreased funding for public transportation.

Overall my sources will add to a, in my opinion, lacking paragraph on the negative consequences of the interstate highway system tucked all the way at the bottom of the article.
