NO on Yuba Highlands

Highlights of the arguments against Yuba Highlands

Traffic will increase on already strained roadways:
  • The project will add over 24,000 new vehicle trips each day to our already overburdened roads
  • Traffic on Hammonton-Smartville Rd will increase by 11,000 trips per day
  • Traffic on Hwy 65 in Wheatland will dramatically be impacted to result in a total breakdown even if a bypass is built

Encroachment on Beale Air Force Base could result in the eventual closure of the Base and millions of dollars in lost revenues to the area.

A community larger than even Marysville, and outside the existing infrastructure of roads, jobs and services, will adversely affect not only Yuba County residents, but residents and businesses of neighboring communities as well.
