Supply Chains Road Expansion, and Impact

What is happening? Highway expansions in Los Angeles and Denver have been cancelled.

Why is this important? The decision to cancel an 28 miles expansion from the busiest port complex was canceled due to impact to climate change, the impact to BIPOC communities who live in its path. Colorado says it can no longer afford to widen widen Interstate 25 through central Denver.

How will this be important? Oregon is moving forward on a transportation project after the Governor negotiated caps that would allow buildings to be constructed over the highway and would help reconnect a BIPOC neighborhood.
