Peter Craig, a lawyer that was pivotal in fighting a proposal to bisect Washington, D.C. with interstate highways, died last month. The Washington Post looks at his legacy.
Patricia Sullivan writes, ""Mentioning his name at the Highway Department is like waving a red flag in front of a bull," a Washington Post reporter wrote in 1968.
Meticulously prepared, tenacious in the face of bureaucratic obfuscation and a stalwart supporter of the subway system, Mr. Craig maneuvered between presidential-level politics and public protests."
