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.
