Measure E should stop this terrible project. If not something nasty must be going on!

Green Valley Road has killed so many people already, this is the worst thing that could happen to EDH.

Development needs to be focused on walkable, multi-use communities closer to transportation hubs. More attached housing, more senior housing, more density closer to services. Continued sprawl is unsustainable. Everyone should read the Strong Towns blog https://www.strongtowns.org/

Allowing this 605 home project would create hazards we just moved away to avoid. We moved from the Bay Area to get away from all the people and the extremely congested traffic problems. It got to the point you could not travel on any highways, freeways or streets where there was not a mass of cars, no matter what time of day or night it was. It was miserable to live there so we moved up here to El Dorado County to get away from that. It has been so pleasant and we love it here. We live on Deer Valley Road that crosses over Green Valley. At times it is crazy on Green Valley but that is usually work traffic and school traffic. The rest of the time, it is a dream to drive. Many parts of Green Valley have two lane per direction but there is also a very long distance with only one lane per direction. As the Bay Area grew, none of the amenities or utilities grew with it. The roads were never widened until the traffic was a horrible gridlock. Due to the large and never ending increase of population, roads were NEVER ample to accommodate all the people no matter how many years they were working on freeways and highways, trying to widen them. It was a mess 24/7. Many people are up here due to the beauty and openness of the land. Please do not allow all that to disappear and create an unhappy bliss up here for money gain. It will affect everyone in a negative way. Money seems to be the main reason for expansion but that is also the cause of many negative effects on the County. We need to keep El Dorado County as is with minimal additions and expansions. Please do not allow this to happen on Green Valley Road. We are all very grateful for our land and the peace and quiet it provides.

This is ridiculous! Quit developing where there is no water to support these new houses!

We want to stay rural. Green Valley Road cannot support over 600 more homes. The gridlock during commute hours is already bad enough right now.

No way, no how...wrong decision to build 605 homes in such a small area. The traffic, pollution, etc. to name a few of our concerns.

Vote NO on the Dixon ranch project. Vote NO on piece-mealing it.

Do not sell out our rural space, this is far too dense and does not fit with surrounding land use

Absolutely No to Dixon Ranch. Go find some other peaceful area to waste consumer's bank deposits building hi-density housing. How about in your own neighborhood.

Donate the land to a Land Trust and turn it into a park with trails for walkers, mt bikers and equestrians. Be a hero.

The congestion on Green Valley Road its at its peak. No more development! We moved up this way because of the beautiful lands, not for more congestion.

This is not good for our country way of life.

The project is too dense and would negative impact the traffic on green valley road and surrounding neighborhoods like ours in highland view with increased traffic in a neighborhood that has no sidewalks.

Really? Why do we have to continue going through this!

El Dorado Hills does not have the infrastructure for this large number of homes in such a small area. Our schools and roads would be negatively impacted. Please don't support this development as it currently stands.
