As community members we are asking for a No Build signature for the SR79 realignment project. The purpose is to prevent excessive noise, pollution and traffic. The community is surrounded by hillsides up to 500 feet high which would result in reverberation of noise back onto our communities. The added pollution would also back up to those same mountains. The proposed routes by RCTC will not take that into consideration for their decision. We are also concerned that portions of the freeway will be as high as 40 feet and only 500 feet from California Ave. There will be a major interchange on Florida Ave and California Ave. This will further diminish the small town appeal that our community enjoys today. We can not allow this mindless excercise of power to ruin our community, health and property values.
