Issue Committee Meetings

Chapter Transportation Committee
Thursday, December 17, 7:00-9:00 p.m
Sierra Club Chapter Office, 10 Milk St., Suite 632, Boston
The highways that are built to sustain our sprawling suburbs add to our pollution and energy problems, and increase our dependence on an auto-centric way of life which is unhealthy, anti-social, and unsustainable. The Big Dig has drained fiscal support away from maintaining the deteriorating highways that we already have and from expanding our public transit infrastructure, beyond a few ill-conceived projects like the "Silver Line" bus and the "Urban Ring" busway. Join us and help the Sierra Club encourage public transit and pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly neighborhoods. Contact John Kyper, Transportation Comt'e (617) 445-8662, jkyper@sierraclubmass.org.
