When the road is completed will it go through to the freeway? Will any federal funds be used to construct the roadway? Does any of the proposed roadway go through parkland on which federal funds have been used? If yes, have all federal requirements for public notifications and hearings be met?
Have environmental impact assessments been made on the proposed roadway? Any endangered species? Any wetlands, streams, waterways to be crossed? If so, has proper documentation for government permits been submitted and approved?
Eminent domain is a proper function of government, but I am concerned about this construction being handled as you describe. It sounds like the governmental entities may be operating in the “it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission” mode.
I don’t know all the answers to your questions, but it sure gives me ideas on what to look for. Thanks
