The absolute worst new road project proposal in California history
(maybe a little hyperbole--but maybe not) is about to enter scoping
meetings for its Environmental Impact Statement.  The private
corporation pushing this project has, in the past, tried to avoid
doing a programmatic EIS for the entire project by splitting it into
little parts and arguing that each part poses no serious environmental
threats.  But they really should be considering the project as a
whole.

So if you're concerned about limiting suburban sprawl and all the
evils (from air pollution to groundwater contamination) that entails,
go to one of the following public hearings:

May 10, 1994:	Tracy Community Center
		300 East 10th St., Tracy	6 pm

May 11, 1994:	Brentwood Lions Club
		3700 Walnut Blvd., Brentwood	5 pm

May 12, 1994	Triad Corporation
		3055 Triad Drive, Livermore	5 pm

Caltrans is running these meetings, and they have already demonstrated
their pro-highway pro-sprawl bias, but if the voice of reason is
strong enough, they may be forced to listen.
