[edit] NPOV

The part of this article discussing the extension of California State Route 241 is obviously an NPOV issue. The article conveys only the negative view point of this issue. The entire section is written in a very biased way, and the comment "For Southern Californias, it would be impossible to mitigate in any significant way the detremental effects of the toll road." is not true, as TCA has planned to build structures to mitigate the effects on wildlife and San Mateo Creek in particular.

"Yet the TCA routinely seeks congressional handouts of taxpayer funds for purposes such as environmental studies." This is definitely a NPOV issue. Dasubergeek 22:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Classification

Does this page still need to be a stub? --Rschen7754 03:22, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Length reference

I don't see how the reference for the length has anything to do with the length. It is about bridges. —Kenyon (t·c) 09:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverts

Would somebody please explain why the detailed additions I made to the Foothill-South expansion were removed? There is no reason for doing so. If nobody can offer a valid explanation I will re-add them.

What did they say? --Rschen7754 (T C) 00:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Got no response, so I have re-added those portions to the Foothill-South section, as well as generally cleaned up the article and added a large number of links. --dthx1138 (TC) 15:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV Edits

This article keeps getting periodically edited to remove information which might reflect negatively on the Foothill-South expansion, and it needs to stop.

There is no reason to have removed information about the non-compete clause between TCA and CalTrans; the clause is not disputed by the TCA. Additionally, the last section will be reverted to the original title, "Expansion Controversy," and not simply "extension" as it is already in the "Foothill-South" section.

- Just to follow up, I have significantly cleaned up the "Expansion Controversy" section and have added many references. I will be very disappointed if this text were to mysteriously disappear again. Dthx1138 (talk) 04:22, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Dthx1138

- one more thing, I realize that the references may seem biased so far as they are mainly from anti-toll road sites. I will attempt to add references to the TCA's positions soon. Dthx1138 (talk) 04:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)DTordini

I have noticed this too, I too have added important info that disappears. Like the fact that to So-Called State Park, is not really a State Park. This what happens when Liberals get to run everything in the state. They are all the same, Always trying to change the rules after the game has started.--Subman758 (talk) 18:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Extension

I hear about the protest on 2/8/2008 vote against the 241 south extension. I don't know if project will ever be done. They wont bouther until next 3 or 4 years.--Freewayguy (Meet) 20:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
