Concerning letting Caltrans construct a four-lane highway
through the prime farm land of San Juan Valley, the choice, as far
as I am concerned, is mighty simple.
We can let them construct this freeway through the precious farm
land and accept the interchange problems, loss of valuable farm
land and loss of more of the remaining local atmosphere of the
Valley and San Juan for as long as cars and trucks are the prime
means of transportation.

Or we can probably wait a little longer and pay a little more (not necessarily) by demanding that we be given the best solution in having the four lanes either close in south of the Flint Hills or on the north side of the Flint Hills.
Confession: I am only one citizen and I live in San Juan Valley.
Furthermore, I am well on in years and have seen the loss of many square miles of good farm land in California, and I have witnessed the persistent cutting away of the pleasure and satisfaction of rural living in San Juan Valley. I am more experienced than biased.
