SUMMARY:Bruce Elementary Press Conference re: I-45 Expansion
DESCRIPTION:MEDIA ADVISORY: \nRALLY AND PRESS CONFERENCE TO CALL FOR REGIONAL LEADERS TO DELAY VOTE ON $100 MILLION FOR THE I-45 EXPANSION \n(HOUSTON\, TX) – Community advocates and concerned residents will hold a rally and press conference on Tuesday\, July 23\, at 10:30 a.m. to urge Houston-Galveston Area Council’s (H-GAC) Transportation Policy Council (TPC) to delay voting on funding for Segment 2 of Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) controversial North Houston Highway Improvement Project (NHHIP)\, or the I-45 expansion. \nThe TPC is scheduled to vote at their monthly meeting on Friday\, July 26\, on TxDOT’s request for a $100 million down payment “to demonstrate the region’s desire for advancing” the rebuild of Segment 2 of I-45\, which spans from I-10 to North Loop 610. This funding commitment would signal support for the project as it is currently designed\, despite significant community concerns about the expansion’s adverse impacts on neighborhood history and heritage\, greenspace\, flooding\, housing\, jobs\, safety\, and air quality. It could also attract a match from the Texas Transportation Commission to fund the remainder of the $1.22 billion necessary for this section of the project. \nAccording to TXDOT’s Draft Environmental Impact Study\, the highway expansion “would cause disproportionately high and adverse impacts to minority or low-income populations.” Current plans for widening I-45 would\, according to TxDOT\, cause thousands of residents to lose their homes and the removal of more than 300 businesses impacting more than 20\,000 employees. Additionally\, the project impacts historical sites and 26 schools and daycare centers. \nAir Alliance Houston\, LINK Houston\, Greater Houston Coalition for Justice\, Make I-45 Better Coalition\, as well as concerned residents are calling for H-GAC TPC members not to rush this decision and to delay the vote until TxDOT addresses community concerns surrounding the project. Delaying the vote would allow time for TXDOT to complete a round of community engagement activities and planning in conjunction with the City of Houston; the latest series of community engagement is scheduled to begin in late August. The organizations and residents are asking the TPC to delay the vote until 2020\, after TXDOT finalizes the highway project’s Environmental Impact Statement. Thousands of affected Houstonians deserve to have their concerns sufficiently addressed before regional policymakers consider funding this project. \nWHAT: Community rally and press conference calling for H-GAC TPC to delay the vote on funding for the I-45 expansion \nWHEN:  Tuesday\, July 23rd\, 2019; 10:30 a.m. \nWHERE: Bruce Elementary School\, 510 Jensen Dr\, Houston\, TX 77020 \nWHO: Speakers include: \n\n\nDr. Bakeyah Nelson\, Executive Director\, Air Alliance Houston \n\n\nOni Blair\, Executive Director\, LINK HOUSTON \n\n\nJohnny N. Mata\, Presiding Officer\, Greater Houston Coalition for Justice \n\n\nCommunity Members \n\n\nSpeakers will be available for one-on-one interviews following the press conference. \nFor more information\, please contact Riikka Pohjankoski at riikka@airalliancehouston.org or 713.528.3779. \n### \n\n\nAVISO A LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN: \nREUNIÓN DE CONFERENCIA DE PRENSA PARA LLAMAR A LÍDERES REGIONALES A RETRASAR EL VOTO DE $ 100 MILLONES PARA LA EXPANSIÓN DE LA I-45 \n(HOUSTON\, TX) – Los defensores de la comunidad y los residentes interesados realizarán una manifestación y una conferencia de prensa el martes 23 de julio a las 10:30 am para urgir al Consejo de Políticas de Transporte (TPC por sus siglas en Inglés) del Consejo del Área de Houston-Galveston (HGAC por sus siglas en Inglés) a retrasar la votación sobre la financiación del Segmento 2 del controvertido Proyecto de Mejora de la Autopista del Norte de Houston (NHHIP por sus siglas en Inglés) del Departamento de Transporte de Texas (TxDOT por sus siglas en Inglés)\, o la expansión de la I-45. \nEl TPC está programado para votar en su reunión mensual el viernes\, 26 de julio\, sobre la solicitud de TxDOT de un pago inicial de $ 100 millones “para demostrar el deseo de la región de avanzar” la reconstrucción del Segmento 2 de la I-45\, que se extiende desde la I-10 a North Loop 610. Este compromiso de financiamiento sería una señal de apoyo para el proyecto tal como está diseñado actualmente\, a pesar de las importantes preocupaciones de la comunidad sobre los impactos adversos de la expansión en la historia y el patrimonio del vecindario\, el espacio verde\, las inundaciones\, la vivienda\, los empleos\, la seguridad y la calidad del aire. También podría atraer un emparejamiento de la Comisión de Transporte de Texas para financiar el resto de los $ 1.22 mil millones necesarios para esta sección del proyecto. \nDe acuerdo con el Proyecto de Estudio de Impacto Ambiental de TxDOT\, la expansión de la carretera “causaría impactos desproporcionadamente altos y adversos para las poblaciones de bajos ingresos y a minorías”. Los planes actuales para ampliar la I-45\, de acuerdo con TxDOT\, causaría a eliminación de más de 300 empresas impactando a más de 20\,000 empleados y que miles de residentes pierdan sus hogares. Además\, el proyecto afecta a sitios históricos y 26 escuelas y guarderías. \nAir Alliance Houston\, LINK Houston\, Greater Houston Coalition for Justice\, Make I-45 Better Coalition\, así como los residentes preocupados están pidiendo a los miembros de H-GAC TPC que no apresuren esta decisión y retrasen la votación hasta que TxDOT aborde las preocupaciones de la comunidad en torno al proyecto. Retrasar la votación le daría tiempo a TxDOT para completar una ronda de actividades y planificación de participación comunitaria en conjunto con la Ciudad de Houston; la última serie de participación comunitaria está programada para comenzar a fines de agosto. Las organizaciones y los residentes piden al TPC que demore la votación hasta 2020\, después de que TxDOT finalice la Declaración de Impacto Ambiental del proyecto de la carretera. Miles de habitantes de Houston afectados merecen que sus inquietudes se tengan en cuenta de manera suficiente antes de que los formuladores de políticas regionales consideren financiar este proyecto. \nQUÉ: Reunión comunitaria y conferencia de prensa en la que se pide que el TPC H-GAC demore la votación sobre la financiación para la expansión de la I-45 \nCUÁNDO: martes 23 de julio de 2019; 10:30 am. \nDONDE: Bruce Elementary School\, 510 Jensen Dr\, Houston\, TX 77020 \nQUIENES: Los presentadores incluyen: \n\n\nDr. Bakeyah Nelson\, Director Ejecutivo\, Air Alliance Houston \n\n\nOni Blair\, Director Ejecutivo\, LINK HOUSTON \n\n\nJohnny N. Mata\, Oficial Presidente\, Coalición por la Justicia del Gran Houston \n\n\nMiembros de la comunidad \n\n\nLos presentadores estarán disponibles para entrevistas individuales después de la conferencia de prensa. \nPara obtener más información\, póngase en contacto con Riikka Pohjankoski en riikka@airalliancehouston.org o 713.528.3779.
