Study criticizes Scotts Valley casino proposal

A study claims a casino built by the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians would increase traffic in the Bay Area.

The tribe wants to build a 225,000-square-foot casino in unincorporated North Richmond. The gaming is near two major interstates that see a large amount of traffic.

The study, which was funded by several local governments, says the casino would make traffic even worse. That finding contradicts a final environmental impact statement being reviewed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs about the casino.
