Residents give thoughts on improving freeway

The Orange County Transportation Authority will host a public open

house tonight to seek input on options for improving the San Diego

Freeway corridor.

The available options were developed based on public comments

received since last fall and a technical analysis of the current and

projected transportation situations in the corridor.

The authority is asking residents, commuters and community leaders

to review the options and provide comments and suggestions. Possible

improvements being considered include ways to increase freeway and

local street capacity, relieve bottlenecks, improve on- and off-ramps

and improve freeway crossings.

The open house is part of a public outreach for a study of the

corridor, local streets and transit between the Corona del Mar

Freeway in Costa Mesa and the San Gabriel River Freeway at the Los

Angeles County line.

The open house will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Fountain

Valley Library, 17635 Los Alamos. For more information, call (714)

560-5334.
