We Need Your Help to Stop the $11 Billion Expansion

of 1-270/I-495 for Privatized, For-Profit Tollways
 

​

CABE and DontWiden270.org have launched a new effort to recruit volunteers to go into our communities and persuade thousands of local citizens to write comments on the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) before the new November 9 deadline. Public comments are key to protecting our communities, environment and wallets from this huge boondoggle.

 

Volunteers are needed to spread the word

​

Our goal is print door hangers and recruit volunteers to distribute them throughout their communities.

 

To volunteer, send a message to contactdontwiden270@gmail.com. (Please provide your name, address, contact information (e-mail or phone number) and how you might be interested in helping.)

​

To defray printing costs, click here to donate to the CABE/DW270 outreach effort. All donations made to CABE through September 30 will be used solely to fund this critical effort.

​

Spread the Word

​

We have until November 9 to convince MDOT and our elected officials to support the No-Build Option in the DEIS and stop the I-495/I-270 expansion plan from: 

 

*Making traffic jams worse for most drivers on I-270 and nearby local roads.

​

*Invading parkland and worsening air pollution, stormwater runoff and flooding, and global warming gas emissions.

​

*Using our tax dollars (and a $2 billion WSSC rate hike) to subsidize tollway company costs despite state promises the tollways would pay for themselves.

​

​

Make a difference. Tell MDOT.
