Gail presented on the current EIR/EIS process for ??? There were several key concerns, specifically traffic and oak woodlands in the area. Parklands are in addition to the open space shown in the oak woodlands area.

Tom highlighted some key changes that will occur with the problem, including the widening of roads and new connections. Several of these projects are already under construction or in the environmental review process.

One stakeholder asked how wide a new road would be. It will vary between four and six lanes, but is not a limited access road.
