| | Appeals Court Rejects Challenge to Use of Pasadena’s Redevelopment Funds in 710 Freeway Battle |
 | | Interstate 710 is better known as the Long Beach Freeway, and runs north from the port of Long Beach, following the Los Angeles River much of the way, intersects with Interstates 405, 105, and 5, and stops in the city of Alhambra just after meeting Interstate 10. |
 | | Freeway planners long ago intended the 710 to continue through Alhambra and South Pasadena to link with the 210, giving trucked freight a clear freeway route from the port to the rest of the nation without becoming entangled in the commuter traffic of Los Angeles. |
 | | The freeway is slated to be built near, though not in, the redevelopment area, the justice noted, adding that there would be no question that such monumental construction nearby would have an impact on the project area and the city as a whole. |
