210 Freeway: Who was the first driver?
Some interesting notes around the Web on the 210 opening:
-- Marta Brown, wife of the late Congressman George Brown, was the first motorist to ease onto the new section fo the 210 Freeway at 10:14 a.m. San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris was third to drive onto the freeway. (SB Sun)
-- Many residential communities in the San Gabriel Valley say that the traffic is already heavy going into the Los Angeles area and that having more vehicles on the freeway will have an impact. "Unfortunately, I am not looking forward to it because I know it's already congested and I think it's going to just add to that congestion.... Not really looking forward to additional traffic," said commuter Wes Tang. (ABC 7)
