PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT, PRESERVING OUR FUTURE
The proposed Allegheny Mountain Turnpike mountain cut threatens to disrupt the natural beauty and ecological balance of our beloved region. As a community, we must stand together to prevent this project from moving forward.
THE IMPACT
WHY THE TURNPIKE MOUNTAIN CUT IS HARMFUL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The PA Turnpike project will lead to permanent destruction of precious habitats on on and around the Allegheny Mountain.
WATER POLLUTION
Construction activities associated with the expansion will significantly increast the risk of soil erosion and sedimentation in nearby streams and rivers.
ECONOMIC COSTS
While proponents of the expansion argue that it will boost the local economy, the long-term environmental and social costs far outweigh any short-term economic gains.
ECOSYSTEM DISRUPTION
Rerouting the PA turnpike can lead to a decline in biodiversity and disruption of delicate ecological balances.
COMMUNITY DISPLACEMENT
The project may require the acquisition of private properties and the displacement of families and businesses.
