But just logically, of course local representation needs to have a say. Them not having a say is how interstates were driven through the downtowns of just about all American cities.

We’re not talking about an interstate going through a downtown though. What’s the point of even bringing that up? The ROW is already in place and the new interchanges on either sides actually have smaller footprints than what is there now. What was Richmond’s mayors reason for opposing the bridge? “It looked like LA style freeway”. Gtfo. The current interchange at steveston highway looks like it’s 3rd world. Are you all forgetting the sand piles that are still adorning the side of Hwy 99? The pre loading has been done, the design is good. Let’s get this project done because what we have now is an embarrassment
