An EIS i s 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 compar ison. \nThe Brent Spence Bridge Corridor project plans to widen eight mil es 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. \nJoin us o n 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 mem bers push for a full environmental review of the expansion project.\n\nRSV P: https://www.sustainablecincy.org/cincinnati-city-council-demand-an-eis LAST-MODIFIED:20260710T183919 LOCATION:Cincinnati City Hall - Cincinnati City Hall\, Plum Street\, Cincin nati\, OH\, USA SEQUENCE:1783708759 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Cincinnati City Council: Demand an EIS URL:https://www.sustainablecincy.org/cincinnati-city-council-demand-an-eis END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260720T011459Z UID:meci-76187@solidarity.tech DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260730T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260730T200000 DESCRIPTION: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 impa cts 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.\nHere's what we do kn ow that isn't getting headlines:\n\nIt's not just a new bridge\; it's also 16 lanes of urban freeway (doubling existing capacity) stretching for mil es in both directions\nIt will pave over or otherwise consume 51 acres of land (that's equivalent to six Washington Parks)\nIt will impact 90 acres of forest\, six wetlands\, and more than a dozen streams (not to mention t he wildlife that call those natural spaces home)\nIt will induce more driv ing through the area and worsen air quality for neighborhoods with already -elevated asthma rates\nThe transportation agencies skipped producing a fu ll Environmental Impact Statement\, usually required for federal projects of this size\n\nMost importantly\, we know there's a better way forward fo r the Brent Spence.\nWant to help your neighbors\, community leaders and e lected officials see the bigger Brent Spence picture? Please join us as we gather to workshop talking points\, tactics and goals for ensuring everyo ne has all the facts and is ready to take action. We'll also spend time pr acticing talking through those talking points with different audiences.\nA nd food! There will be refreshments\, too. Please let us know you're comin g (even if you're just a "maybe") so we can ensure we have enough for ever yone. (Even better if you bring a friend along!)\n\nRSVP: https://www.sust ainablecincy.org/workshop-talking-to-neighbors-and-leaders-about-the-brent -spence LAST-MODIFIED:20260717T140557 LOCATION:Findlay Community House - 118 Findlay Street\, Cincinnati\, OH\, U SA SEQUENCE:1784297157 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Help Shape the Brent Spence Conversation URL:https://www.sustainablecincy.org/workshop-talking-to-neighbors-and-lead ers-about-the-brent-spence END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
