The California Transportation Commission approved a freeway widening project despite objections, prioritizing reducing congestion over health, safety, air quality, and climate impacts.
Caltrans' own environmental review admits the project will increase vehicle miles traveled, negating claims that adding a lane will reduce congestion.
Proposed transit improvements funding from new lane tolls lacks clarity, as the project's proponents make conflicting statements about congestion reduction and traffic alleviation.
