In 2009, the SR-710 Tunnel Geotechnical Study continues. Caltran is attempting to jump to study air quality. The data and findings of the geotechnical conditions have not yet even been analysized. To study air quality prematurely is an attempt to turn this study into an EIR (Environmental Impact Report). An EIR is required to order to build this tunnel. 710 Tunnel Study
In 2008, the SR-710 Tunnel Geotechnical Study from Caltrans began. This mult-imillion dollar study is underway. Boring soil samples, taking seismic reflection (vibration tests) and surface waves (electronic image of soil condition) in over 31 locations in Alhambra, Glendale, Pasadena, Southe Pasadena, San Marino, La Canada Flintridge, Monterey Park and several northeast communities in the city of Los Angeles. MTA (METRO) and Caltrans officials are conducting a SR-710 Tunnel Geotechnical Study. The tunnel is 4.5 miles. Caltrans is leading this study using taxpayer dollars, millions of taxpayer dollars to fund reports and surveys. The cost of this tunnel will be up to 11 billion dollars.....
In June 2006, a MTA Route 710 Tunnel Feasibility Assessment Report was released in an attempt to get approval to build the tunnel instead of a surface freeway. 710 Tunnel Study
