210 frustration sets in

There is much excitement about the extension of the 210 Freeway into San Bernardino County finally nearing completion. But the Whittier Daily News editorial board says it's frustrated with a series of delays that are going to make it and the Highway 30 extension less of a commuter paradise than many thought:

When the Foothill (210) Freeway fully opens later this year in San Bernardino County, and the extension to Highway 30 in the city of San Bernardino is finally finished (at a still undetermined date), access to and from another major artery running through the region will be severely limited -- making the 210 less than the lifesaver for commuters and vacationers it should have been. But don't fret. San Bernardino County area officials reassure the public that the opening of the long-awaited interstate won't be delayed. You can count on that. It's just that two major connectors between the 210 and Interstate 215, which would have stood to make the lives of motorists that much easier because of uninterrupted travel, won't be ready for yet another three to four years.
