The proposed West Bypass, a highway rerouting
traffic around the west edge of Lincoln, could pass
through either Wilderness Park or the Yankee Hill
Community.
At a meeting of the Lancaster County Board April
16 both proposed routes, compared in a state
Department of Roads' study, faced local opposition.
The origin.il bypass proposal, which was approved
by the Lincoln City Council and the County Board,
would cut through the west edge of Wilderness Park,
taking part of Camp Wilderness.
This route has been opposed by the Bluestem
Chapter of the Sierra Club for over two years.
Federal level
Because Wilderness Park, a dense wooded area, was
partially purchased with federal funds, the use of any
of the land for the proposed route must be approved
by the federal government. Representatives of the
Sierra Club said that building the bypass through the
park would be a violation of federal law.
The other proposed route between the Southeast
Nebraska Regional Center and Pioneers Park would
divide the Yankee Hill community in half.
, William Patterson,- representing the Yankee Hill
School, told the board that the proposed west route
would add an extra mile to .32 children's walk to
school, create safety problems, cut the community in
hail and take more land off the school district's tax
rolls.
Another vote
Though the original east line was approved by a
former county board, the present board is expected
to hold another vote on the bypass in the near future.
County Commissioner Bruce Hamilton, who
originally had asked the State Department of Roads
to study a route west of the Wilderness Park area, said
he was disappointed with the report because it deals
with only "one line when there may be 11 other
routes which could be drawn."
Edward. Hailman, attorney for the Sierra Club,
said, "The club believes there are other feasible and
prudent, locations available for the West Bypass which
have not as yet received serious considerations."

The dub favors constructing a west detour from
Old Cheney Road to South Street.
The west line would cause problems for the
Regional Center, dividing the administrative buildings
and Pioneer Park, which patients use for recreation.
Lengthy delay
Any change in the currently proposed route could
mean a delay of from one to three years, federal and
state road officials said.
Several local businessmen urged the county board
"to get on with it" because any delay might kill the
bypass.
Hamilton said the board should make their
decision. "If we decide against the east line, we de!ay
the bypass; if we approve the east line, the Sierra
Club will file a law suit," he said.
The county board expects to decide within the
next two weeks where a West Bypass would be
located.
