Photo: Diane Edwardson, April 13, 2009. The 2 Freeway from Corralitas Drive. (Click on photo to enlarge.)After several delays, the environmental review is available for 2 Freeway Terminus Redesign Project. It's available on the State's website, or more directly here. It is open for public review until July 2, 2009.
ALL alternatives, including the "do nothing option," will put more traffic idling on the southbound 2 Freeway in our neighborhood. So, we may as well choose an alternative that gains as much park space and benefit to the community as possible. The community has consistently chosen the alternative that includes keeping the flyover ramp and turning it into park space. CalTrans keeps changing the name of that alternative to confuse the public.
CalTrans and the MTA are holding two community workshops and a public hearing in June which might be easier deal with than weeding through a 292 page document:
