DESCRIPTION:Second Workshop ...  - Thursday, January 11, 2007, from 5pm - 8pm, at the 
 Mitchell Middle School, 2100 Zinfandel Drive, Rancho Cordova \n\nFor more 
 information, visit the Caltrans alert on their website at ... 
 http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist3/projects \n\nAs many of you know, CalTrans has 
 released the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) on its proposed 
 expansion of Highway 50 from Sunrise into central Sacramento. Caltrans is 
 hosting two public workshops, one in Sacramento tonight and one in Rancho 
 Cordova tomorrow night, to hear public comment on the project. \n\nFor most 
 of us living in Sacramento, this may be our best chance to demonstrate the 
 intensity of community opposition to this project. \n\nPlease come out to 
 one or both of these workshops to tell Caltrans to not ram any more freeway 
 lanes through our neighborhoods. \n\nThis is an opportunity to share your 
 thoughts on the impact of ever-increasing vehicular traffic along the US 50 
 corridor. Expanding US 50 will bring more cars, more traffic, more air and 
 noise pollution, and ultimately more congestion and to Sacramento's 
 neighborhoods. And an expanded US 50 will support more unsustainable sprawl 
 growth in the suburbs. \n\nECOS continues to push for smart investments in 
 light rail and other travel modes such as sidewalks, bike lanes and buses, 
 along the US 50 corridor as the far superior long-term and sustainable 
 approach to addressing congestion and mobility. \n\nEven if you're not 
 willing to speak at tonight's or tomorrow's workshop, your presence to 
 support the speakers is crucial. A strong public showing of opposition is 
 politically very important. \n\nAgain ... \n\nThurs, Jan 11\n 5pm-8pm, 
 Mitchell Middle School, 2100 Zinfandel Drive, in Rancho Cordova \n\nGraham 
 Brownstein, Executive Director \nEnvironmental Council of Sacramento
