1. No Build option that would leave conditions as they are
2. A traffic management system to upgrade and synchronize signals and improvements to local street intersections to more quickly move traffic that exits the dead end freeway.
3. A rapid bus line featuring high frequency service with minimal stops and potentially a dedicated bus lane.
This bus route doesn’t connect to any light rail station!
4. Light rail to carry passengers between East Los Angeles and Pasadena. A light rail option would cost half of the freeway tunnel and take one more year to build according to the EIR.
5. A freeway tunnel that would extend the SR-710 and have ventilator stacks throughout the area. (Map of Tunnel (from EIR 2015)
- $5.6 billion to initial estimate to pay for tunnel, according to 2012 CalTrans/Metro; only $716 million raised by a 1-cent tax since 2008.
- Six 50-foot high ventilator stacks to be built on Colorado Blvd. bridge above 210 connector, 2 blocks from the Norton Simon Museum headed east. Another structure in El Sereno.
Proposed: Six 50-ft tunnel exhaust stacks at the entrance to Old Town Pasadena
