Park fund out may be sought Hampton chastises opponents of bypass
City Councilman Joe Hampton plans to propose trimming Wilderness Park funding during budget talks if opponents of the West Bypass persist. He argues tax money should cover only maintenance while the dispute delays the project. The four-lane bypass would connect I-80 to U.S. 77 and Neb. 2, with K and L Streets extended west to the bypass and portions of parkland, including via a rail relocation plan. Environmental groups threaten legal action unless plans change.
