Pasadena Now: WPRA Finds Caltrans’ SR-710 Draft EIR to be “Grossly Inadequate”, Aug. 7, 2015

The team found that, from its inception, the SR-710 Study environmental process has been improperly conducted in a manner to justify and sustain a decision already made: the freeway tunnel as the preferred alternative.
