PLEASE VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION
Westfield Proposes
Massive Expansion of UTC Mall
Plus Two Residential Towers
City Council to vote on proposed project
Tuesday,
July 29 - City Hall - 202 C St., 12th Floor
(time not known
yet)
- EMAIL NOW to oppose this project (one-click
email to council and mayor)
- ATTEND Council hearing: your
voice matters. Email us if you can attend.
The proposed project would:
- Add 18,000 new vehicle
trips per day, impacting streets, freeway ramps and freeways
-
Increase air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions
- Open the
floodgates to new development in the area
- Drive the justification
for two widely opposed road projects: widening Genesee
from
Nobel to Rt. 52 and the proposed new road through Rose Canyon
Park
(Regents Rd. bridge project)
Status:
- UCPG (our local planning group) voted
the project down 14-2
- City’s Planning Commission approved it 5-1
- Mayor Sanders’ top staff are pushing hard for approval
- Council President Peters is key: this is his district, so it is highly unlikely to be approved without his support.
We would not oppose renovation of the mall if
Westfield did it in a way that did not cause so many negative
impacts.

Impact Report)
