The Brent Spence Corridor project is upon us, and there's been a lot of fanfare and plenty of news coverage. But beyond the traffic impacts we're already feeling, we've found a lot of our neighbors and leaders still don't know the full extent this new bridge and highway expansion, as it's currently planned, will have on our region. Here's what we do know that isn't getting headlines: It's not just a new bridge; it's also 16 lanes of urban freeway (doubling existing capacity) stretching for miles in both directions It will pave over or otherwise consume 51 acres of land (that's equivalent to six Washington Parks) It will impact 90 acres of forest, six wetlands, and more than a dozen streams (not to mention the wildlife that call those natural spaces home) It will induce more driving through the area and worsen air quality for neighborhoods with already-elevated asthma rates The transportation agencies skipped producing a full Environmental Impact Statement, usually required for federal projects of this size Most importantly, we know there's a better way forward for the Brent Spence. Want to help your neighbors, community leaders and elected officials see the bigger Brent Spence picture? Please join us as we gather to workshop talking points, tactics and goals for ensuring everyone has all the facts and is ready to take action. We'll also spend time practicing talking through those talking points with different audiences. And food! There will be refreshments, too. Please let us know you're coming (even if you're just a "maybe") so we can ensure we have enough for everyone. (Even better if you bring a friend along!)

Throughout the month of July, CTSD has been speaking with community councils along the I-75 corridor to discuss the fact that the US Department of Transportation skipped producing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor expansion project. An EIS is a crucial study on the potential risks a project can have on humans and the environment, as well as the impacts of alternative projects in comparison.  The Brent Spence Bridge Corridor project plans to widen eight miles of I-75, up to sixteen lanes in certain areas. 50+ acres of land will be lost, and 90+ acres of forests will be directly impacted.  Join us on Wednesday, August 5th at 1:30 p.m. at Cincinnati City Hall to pack the room in solidarity, voice your concerns, and demand our city council members push for a full environmental review of the expansion project.
