1000 Friends v. United States DOT

in pedestrianlivesmatter •  6 years ago 


Challenge the status quo - push back against road widening projects - speed ruins walkable environments and kills pedestrians.

Great (old)example of a group of activists who push back and stand up.

A ruling last week in U.S. District Court has potentially profound implications for road widening projects. This podcast features an interview with Steve Hiniker, Executive Director of 1000 Friends of Wisconsin, the plaintiff that prevailed in a recent lawsuit against the USDOT, WisDOT and others. We also speak with an appellate attorney, Mahesha Subbaraman, about details in the ruling and potential subsequent moves.
