Best Freeway Fighters
Rethink35 and Reconnect Austin
Austin is barreling toward an expansion of I-35 through Downtown that will destroy homes and businesses and lead to massive increases in carbon emissions, while doing nothing to reduce traffic congestion. Yet groups like Rethink35 and Reconnect Austin continue to fight and offer better alternatives to freeway widening, reminding the people of Austin that the health of our climate depends on less car dependency and more sustainable modes of transportation. We appreciate their commitment and hope local and state leaders implement some of their plans to make a bad idea a little better.
