Town Hall on the Widening of I-70

Wednesday, October 1, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Cathedral of the Holy Transfiguration
349 East 47th Avenue
Denver
Bus: 3 blocks east of the 8 and 3 blocks west of the 12

This meeting is being organized by United North Metro Denver and will be hosted by Arturo Jiménez who represents this area on the Denver School Board.

We will be discussing environmental justice, various kinds of pollution, effects on children's education, and other related topics.

Personally, I think we should be doing everything we can to support the North and East Rail Lines rather than spending money and time on an outdated technology that causes climate change and diabetes.
