Orange County Residents Oppose Highway Due To Sprawl
8 June 2001 - 1:00pm
33 percent of residents surveyed about a new toll highway in Orange County oppose it. Their reason - increased urban sprawl.
"A poll commissioned by the county tollway agency had this surprising result - support drops for a southern extension of the Foothill (241) Toll Road as people learn more about it." Though 54% still supports the road, the opposition has steadly increased to 39%. Even more telling is when asked why they didn't support the highway - 33% said toll roads should not be built because they encourage urban sprawl.

Its very unsuitability for an urban center justifies its current usage as a suburban or ex-urban pattern.
