Local resistance to the construction of Interstate 69 has been in the headlines these past few weeks after the Bloomington/Monroe County Metropolitan Planning Organization defied state demands to amend our local transportation plan to include a local property as I-69 right-of-way. Where the state wants to put an interchange for I-69, the city will develop an affordable housing project. It was a move activist Tom Tokarski calls “masterful”. Tom and wife Sandra have been fighting the highway for almost twenty years, through their advocacy group Citizens for Appropriate Rural Roads. Tom and Sandra Tokarski bring us the latest news from the front lines of the fight to stop the highway.
