Lancaster County commissioners voted 2-1
Tuesday in favor of a West Bypass for Lincoln
which will use six acres of Wilderness Park for a
four-lane highway. '
The bypass will destroy a densely wooded
park, and a day camp area serving 1 ,300 children
annually, by dividing the west edge of Wilderness
Park.
Since the 1968 Federal-Aid Highway Act
prohibits the use of parkland for highway
purposes unless there are no other alternatives,
the destruction of six acres of Wilderness Park, a
federally funded park, has been questioned. .
County Commissioner Jan Gauger, speaking in
favor of the proposed bypass, said she saw no
need to revoke the original land-trade agreement
and that the highway would eventually enhance
Wilderness Park by the closing of West Van Dom
Street.
Commissioner Robert Colin voiced his
appreciation for Lincoln's parks, but voted in
favor of the bypass because he felt it was "in the
best interest of the community."
Commissioner Bruce Hamilton said in
opposition to the bypass that there is a need for
one but that he is opposed to taking six acres of
a natural environment.
"Wilderness Park is a unique asset to our
community," he said.
According to Hamilton, those who say there
are no alternatives are naive and he added that
someone is bound to be hurt if a four-lane
highway is built.
Hamilton said, there is a definite need for a
bypass so traffic can be diverted around Lincoln,
and a more efficient way of getting to the
business district can be achieved.
In recompense for the trade of a day camp
area the board unanimously supported the
acquisition of land north of Van Dom Street as a
priority addition of Wilderness Park. But the
board said they would not commit any county
dollars for the project.
The bypass route was opposed by the
Bluestem Sierra Club at the hearing. Marge
Schlitt, representative for the club', said the day
camp area of Wilderness Park is used by
organized groups as well as school children for
nature study.
"We know of no feasible and prudent
alternative, whereas we feel that it would be
possible to find a reasonable alternative for the
highway," Schlitt said.
A petition of 2,800 signatures was presented
to the board by the Sierra Club asking them to
reverse their temporary approval of the bypass.
