Ep 3: Stopping the I-35 expansion: a conversation with Rethink35

In this episode of Cities in Motion, I sit down with Dr. Miriam Schoenfield — Associate Professor at UT Austin and President of Rethink35. Miriam breaks down the latest developments in the push to rethink the I-35 expansion through Austin, including the ongoing lawsuit, environmental concerns, and what a people-centered alternative could look like.We explore how highway expansion impacts health, equity, climate, and the daily lives of Austinites — and what it would take to build a future where mobility is safer, cleaner, and more efficient. Whether you’re a longtime supporter of Rethink35 or simply curious about how highways shape our cities, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Link to the Rethink35 websitehttps://rethink35.org/
