From VICII:

Join VICII, the Vermont Institute of Community and International Involvement, to discuss the status of the long-awaited project to build the Southern Connector Highway, with Community Leader Steve Goodkind. Steve is a member of the Pine Street Coalition currently involved in litigation about the design of the connector.

The controversial project in progress since the eighties will recommence soon with a new design that will make the Southern connector run along our Lake and end at the low-income and minority neighborhood of the King Street community.

Steve Goodkind is a Civil Engineer and a community activist. He was the Project Director of the Southern Connector under Mayors Bernie Sanders and Peter Clavelle. He served as the Director of Public Works with Mayors Brownell and Weinberger.
