The BQE Environmental Justice Coalition advocates for a transformation of the expressway to mitigate environmental and health repercussions on nearby communities, emphasizing the need for significant changes to address historical inequalities.
Elizabeth Yeampierre highlights the disproportionate impact on Black and brown communities, urging for political will and transformative actions to prioritize the health and safety of vulnerable populations over harmful infrastructure.
The U.S. Department of Transportation allocates $5.6 million for redesigning the BQE, with community-led proposals like BQGreen aiming to introduce green spaces near the expressway and improve the overall environment.
