We joined neighborhood leaders, students & advocates to see how I-25 expansion divided communities—& how new lanes & frontage roads could repeat past mistakes. It threatens safety, equity & local revitalization-even blocking a key bike/ped project. As Bonnie Anderson said: "This is not a done deal."
