Maybe the ACLU should sue ....
Btw - guess who is most interested in seeing this tranportation corridor built at tax-payer expense? BIG developers who are involved in west valley land speculation. They need this road or their projects will go bust.

Less time spent on the roads means less pollution for cars and trucks. Adequate and equitable freeway service to the western valley will more than double the speed on those super-congested arterials.
Diesel trucks and UTA buses produce 1/2 to 1/3 of the NOx pollution if they can go a steady 40 or 50 miles per hour , instead of being stuck in heavy stop and go driving. A study done for California Air Resources Board 6 years ago proved that.
So, pollution will go up a little near the freeway, but drop a lot along the decongested arterials. Net gain is cleaner air.
The Sierra Club actually supports dirtier air with their support of Commuter Rail.
Commuter rail will more than double the amount of NOx currently emitted by over 400 dirty diesel UTA buses. NOx will increase by over 420 tons a year.
The MVC freeway is good for our air. Build it!
