Very proud of the team that put this together. Video is a great way to tell the story of what will be bulldozed for TxDOT's I-35 expansion to 20 lanes through central Austin.

TxDOT’s planned expansion of I-35 will demolish local homes & businesses, compounding on a historical legacy of eminent domain & property takings. Watch the full video: https://t.co/scvv8NDHBL

@kelseyhuse30 Agreed! I try to always call them frontage roads because they don't really provide quality access to anything.

Seventy years ago, highways were sold as progress, essential to our future prosperity. Today, we're uncovering a different story. Join this conversation with journalist and author, Megan Kimble to discuss her new book.

@WalkableAustin @TxDOT Great idea! Capital Plaza seems ripe for redevelopment. Would be great to have @TxDOTAustin thinking about the future of retail there and working to improve access from surrounding neighborhoods.
