NYSDOTNYSDOT New York State Department of Transportation Comment (#5)

To The New York State Department of Transportation

  • I do NOT want toxic exhaust plumes directed out tunnel ends toward our neighborhoods, schools, churches, and community centers.
  • I do NOT want a tunnel that does not comply with Climate Leadership and Community Protection ActClimate Leadership and Community Protection Act, also known as CLCPA. The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) is a plan signed into law on July 18, 2019[1] to address climate change and reach net zero emissions in New York State. (CLCPA) mandates.
  • I do NOT want blasting to take place for tunnel construction, and I am concerned about asbestos containment.
  • I do NOT want this expressway to cut through our neighborhoods—period!
  • I DO want improved air quality for all Humboldt Parkway and nearby residents, in order to provide a healthier future for our children and grandchildren.
  • I DO want a project that complies with all CLCPA mandates, and rightfully considers additional alternatives to “build” and “no build,” including expressway removal.
  • I DO want an Environmental Impact StatementEnvironmental Impact Statement An environmental impact statement (EIS), under United States environmental law, is a document required by the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for certain actions "significantly affecting the quality of the human environment".[1] An EIS is a tool for decision making.
