Take Action to Stop Corporate East-West Highway!
This "East-West" truck transport highway would endanger our waterways and air quality, increase noise and light pollution, harm key wilderness recreational areas, and diminish the tourism experience in the region. Sign our petition opposing the Corporate East-West Highway today. Cianbro lobbyists have been traveling the state to get this superhighway built. Maine citizens need to push back with a strong message that the $2 billion, privately-owned highway would threaten dozens of local communities, landowner private property rights, and potentially leave Maine taxpayers on the hook for this risky project. The more people we get to sign, the louder our voice. Add your voice by signing our petition opposing the Corporate East-West Highway. A smarter idea would be to study the sustainable option of moving goods across Maine on the existing train infrastructure. Don't let the corporate lobbyists drown us out.
