Zubrensky, a freeway commis sioner during the entire contro versy. In a conversation with Ka leidoscope, Zubrensky pointed out that pollution was never consider ed to be an issue in freeway plan ning. At best, this omission is morally irresponsible. And to those who in future years suffer pollution-induced disease or death, the charge "morally ir responsible" will undoubtedly seem overly polite. Did the commissioners have an obligation to at least admit that a question on pollution exis ted? According to John T. Mid- dleton and Wayne Ott in a pam phlet called AIR POLLUTION AND TRANSPORTATION, print ed by the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, **A primary role of both the high way engineer and the urban plan ner is to make sure that the air pollution problem is fully con sidered in the planning phases of the project. Each decision should be measured in terms of its im pact upon the air pollution prob lem." The report further states that "... alternatives that mini mize air pollution and do not have other serious drawbacks should be given the highest priority." But since the pollution problem was never taken into consi deration in local ..freeway plan ning, there could of course be no consideration of suitable al ternatives. Does the local ignoring of pol lution-related questions reflect a public apathy on the question of automotive pollutants? No. Ac mttm cording to a recent Los Angeles Times, "Sixty-two per cent of the people polled across the nation favor outlawing the internal com bustion engine to force auto mobile-makers to develop smog- They Did It in San Francisco less power sources." Is pollution really a serious problem for inner-city residents? The main San Francisco free the phoio shows. Construction better than 90.
