MTA's report on 710 Freeway gap project accused of tunnel vision
2015-06-25 03:11:45| Railroads - Topix.net
For months, elected officials and local activists have asked the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for a cost-benefit analysis of five project alternatives being put forth as potential solutions to addressing a 4.5-mile gap in the 710 Freeway between Alhambra and Pasadena. Now, less than a week after Metro released the long-anticipated document, those who oppose a multibillion-dollar underground tunnel as a means of connecting the freeway's end points claim the evaluation reveals a pro-tunnel bias and excludes several very real costs.

Options for 710 Freeway extension discussed at public hearing
2015-05-09 20:13:22| Railroads - Topix.net
Accommodating the traffic demands of a population that has swelled beyond the load limit of LA's freeway systems is proving to be a zero-sum game - at least in the case of the 710 Freeway extension project. On Wednesday, 126 residents attended a public hearing at La Caada High School to share their viewpoints on alternatives being considered by the California Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for connecting, or addressing the problems of, a 4.5-mile gap between the 710's two end points in Alhambra and Pasadena.

The Pasadena City Council voted 5-3 on Monday to oppose plans to build tunnels to extend the Long Beach Freeway from Alhambra to Pasadena. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is currently exploring five options that could extend the 710, including construction of twin 4.5-mile-long tunnels that would run through much of the 6.3 miles from the end of the 710 in Alhambra through South Pasadena and parts of West Pasadena.
