Metro is ramping up its freeway widening budget. Really. #climatearson #destructionfornada #toodamnhot
Transit advocates are increasingly realizing that to find transit highways need budget cuts, and have found success recently in IL. #DestructionForNada
This Thursday the California Transportation Commission is considering funding several freeway widenings including the 71 FWY in Pomona. The expensive trend of disastrous highway widening projects MUST STOP! Learn more, and send in a public comment here: mailchi.mp/streetsforal... #destructionfornada
Thanks to Caltrans and Metro, L.A. County had upwards of 90 percent of California's home and business demolitions for freeway expansion projects (for projects completed over the past five years) #destructionfornada

Instead @annehidalgo.bsky.social has been a climate leader. Thank you, Anne. You inspire so many.

Metro and Caltrans are looking to add two more lanes to the 105 Freeway, plus widen ramps, connectors, and local streets #destructionfornada la.streetsblog.org/2024/10/30/m...
In 2023, Metro and Caltrans District 7 wrapped up work on more than $3 Billion worth of 5 Freeway widening projects (which tore down 100s of homes & apt buildings). THREE BILLION! Is there no end in sight for this madness? #ClimateArson #DestructionforNada la.streetsblog.org/2023/12/27/2...
Metro plans to approve $175M for widening a mile of the 91 Freeway - on Metro Construction Committee meeting this Thursday. Item is actually on the consent calendar (items that Metro thinks are so routine that they don't need any discussion) #destructionfornada boardagendas.metro.net/board-report...
