Why The Illiana Expressway Is Bad For Northwest Indiana

The newspapers, politicians who approved a highway feasibility study and business people think the Illiana Expressway will be good for Indiana.

Sandy O'Brien, Dunelands Sierra Club chair explains in a position paper why the Illiana Expressway is bad for the Chicago Southland and Northwest Indiana for various reasons including, environmental justice, sprawl and the changing nature of our world with issues of high oil prices and global warming altering transportation necessities.

We can't afford the Illiana even if it is "free" and even if it comes with an upfront contribution payment for commuter rail.
