Alton Davies defended the
action of the council which
accepted the route. He does
not like the 1952 council
being made a “red herring.”
The present route is not exactly the one the council
approved, he said. But at
the time the highway department (“They shake a
big stick,” he said) indicated we were either going to
take the route downtown or
nothing. Although the state
does not strenghthen its position by the delay in construction, allowing in the
meantime numerous groups
to become active against
the route, nonetheless any
ther route will hurt some-'
one and Davies said he still
favored the downtown
route.
Two or three others cited
the belief that to request a
‘review of the route would
delay or doom a freeway in
Nevada City.
Proponents of the review
answered by reading a telegram from Frank A. Chambers, deputy director of the
California Department of
Public Works, stating that
no state agency will act
with prejudice either to the
route or construction date
if the people seek a review
through proper aiaknels.
Outsiders who pled their
views at the hearing included:
Gene Chappie, fourth district supervisor from El Dorado County, appeared to
speak of Placerville which
had previously been cited
by the highway division as
an example of a city with
a freeway through the
downtown where everyone
was happy. Chappie said
