15: The Coastal Freeway: A Postscript

Episode 14, "The Coastal Freeway: A Concrete Monster that Almost
Destroyed Newport," has generated some amazing responses on
social media. 

Some expressed disbelief  at how close Newport was to having
a freeway (12 lanes at its widest) run through the center of
town. Others simply wanted to thank the Freeway Fighters and
others who thwarted this plan more than a half-century ago. And
finally, we heard from some Freeway Fighters and their family
members who provided first-hand recollections of the greatest
"what if" moment in Newport Beach history. 

We've put together the best of these comments for a postscript
episode on the Coastal Freeway. It seemed like the perfect way to
wrap up this story.
