Federal Judge Rejects Lawsuit Challenging Willits Freeway Bypass
From the Los Angeles Times:
“A federal judge has rejected legal claims by environmental groups that sued Caltrans and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in hopes of stopping construction of a controversial freeway bypass in Willits, Calif.
“The four-lane bypass that will carry U.S. 101 traffic around the Mendocino County town rather than through its Main Street heart was first proposed a half-century ago, and local officials long expressed unanimous support for it. But demographic shifts and heightened environmental consciousness recently split public opinion.”
