Meeting on 710 Freeway Extension to be Held at Rose Bowl

Metro has added an additional date to discuss alternatives to the proposed 710 Freeway tunnel extension, a required part of the environmental work for that project.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will hold a meeting in Pasadena to discuss alternatives to the proposed 710 Freeway tunnel extension on May 30.

The meeting will be the last of several forums that have been held as part of the, “Alternative Analysis phase of the SR-710 Study,” according to the Metro website, which is aimed at “bridging the gap” in this freeway from Long Beach.

The analysis is a required part of planning the extension of the 710 freeway through a 7.1-mile tunnel, a project that has been opposed by some over concerns about pollution and traffic increases on the 210 Freeway.
