Vote No on Measure DD

We moved to Sycamore Ranch in 1999 because of the spacious land, beautiful views, and quiet community. Last Saturday, we received in our mailbox information urging us to vote for Bond Measure DD which will build a new high school at the northwest corner of Gird Road and 76.

In addition, a fitness center and career center open to the public will also be built at the bargain price of $58 million dollars paid for by the taxpayers and homeowners. We strongly oppose DD. If this measure passes, it would be a tremendous change to the quiet, tranquil community of Sycamore Ranch.

Traffic, bussing, congestion, and noise would increase due to the extension of Knottwood Way to Via Monserate and disrupt our neighborhood. Increased property taxes and rent hikes would spike and affect retirees. This location was clandestinely approved and not communicated with the residents of the Sycamore Ranch community who would be disrupted the most.

There are those who would vote for DD because it benefits them personally, but I’m voting against it because it disrupts all of our lives. If you agree with me, please save our lovely community and Vote NO on DD on Nov. 8.
