However, he said, the group often fails to mention that those trips would come at the end of the project’s 30-year build-out. In addition, the group has not probed into the traffic impacts of development plans for the cities of Patterson and Newman, he said. Here's a direct quote from the Ws-Pace.org website: 11-13-07 Potential West Park pollution from horrendous amount of traffic takes shape based on preliminary analysis report recently released. 141,000 trips daily is projected by 2030 causing many area roads to be increased from 2 to 4 lanes. Major impacts from Hwy 99 to West Side. Southern end of Sycamore Avenue, four lanes? [b]Nope, doesn't appear that they left anything out. Wonder what Lynch is going on about.[/b] Mike Lynch's claim that Ws-Pace is using the traffic projections inaccuratly is false. In fact, West Park & County officials are falling over themselves using "numbers" to justify this monster of a project. They have repeatedly claimed that the City of Patterson is expanding to 100,000 to 150,000 residents. However, the city's current General Plan would only yield approx. 35,000 residents. The General Plan is in the beginning stages of being revised and as far as I can tell... the committee members are leaning towards a much smaller number with regards to expansion. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. - Andrew Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:19:09 +0100 http://pattersonirrigator.com/content/view/1244/42/#comment-602 "So far, the group has raised close to $20,000, Swift said, to pay for advertising, postage and transportation to public meetings, among other expenses. It also could be the foundation of a war chest if the West Park master development plan is approved by the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors next month." The above information needs clarification. We have not spent any money for transportation. Claude Delphia, vp WS-PACE.org claude@ws-pace.org - Claude Delphia Sat, 29 Mar 2008 11:00:22 +0100
