San Francisco removed the elevated State Route 480 that used to run along its waterfront after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
Portland (which you mentioned) turned Route 99 from a freeway to a street in 1974, which opened up the western bank of the Willamette River for the massive park that runs along there today.
Milwaukee removed the Park East freeway and replaced it with at-grade streets and a drawbridge.
That's just three. What you've said is demonstrably false.
