The City of Corona intends to file a big claim against Caltrans for the way the state highway agency has functionally detoured motorists off the congested 91 Freeway to clog Corona's surface streets.
Corona officials seem to think they have a good chance.
In fact, this argument could get complicated. Corona just might find itself having to explain it own development decisions and their impact on 91 traffic patterns. But for all of that, Corona has a point, and a significant one. Agreements for the four were signed around the start of 1991. The toll lanes opened in late 1995.
