KEEP THE WOODBRIDGE VILLAGE CENTER, IRVINE!
Contact the author of the petition
This Woodbridge area should continue to be zoned for retail. Although, I would say that it sorely needs to be updated and modernized. The businesses in this area are vital and I have frequented most all of the stores including corepower, rubys, b&n, the movie theater, the electric bike company, yamaha, the kids haircuts, the toy store, the candy shop, and mission arts. It is in a vital area along the bike path and I have both driven, biked, and walked to this center. So while it needs a re-do...it does not need to become housing.
Re:
Good point about it being an archetypical planned community! I didn't know that it was designed by William Periera. Thanks for that tidbit
A proposal to turn the WVSC into high density housing is totally unacceptable for a number of reasons. First, the added traffic impact will add serious pressure on our streets, which are already at capacity. Second, our infrastructure, parks, schools, and other amenities of the Woodbridge community would be adversely impacted and would negatively effect our property values, and most importantly, our quality of life. Finally, the City of Irvine needs to stop adding more high density housing in the City and allowing industrial and other commercial zoning to be rezoned to high density residential uses. Our planned community was a model for the rest of the country when it was initially drawn up out in the 70's. The current transformation is inconsistent with this global master plan. Any of us that drive the major streets in Irvine, especially along Jamboree, Alton, and Barranca during peak periods can see that these arterials are jammed with bumper to bumper traffic. Many of us believe that this traffic has been negatively impacted by the rezoning permitted by the City of Irvine along the Jamboree corridor. THE CITIZENS OF IRVINE DEMAND THAT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS STOP ALLOWING HIGH DENSITY HOUSING IN IRVINE. Respectfully submitted, Frank J. Haffner and Nancy Haffner

#10: Getwithit - Woodbridge Village Center
We fully support your comment. We've lived in Woodbridge since 1982 and have raised our four children, and now three of them live in Woodbridge, along with our six grandchildren. The Irvine Company has built enough apartments and Mr. Bren is already one of the richest persons in the world. Enough is enough. Our elected officials need to stop pandering to Mr. Bren and The Irvine Company and stand up for the people of Irvine. Yes, we continue to lose our neighbor businesses like El Cholo, Waters, and the Claim Jumper, just to name a few, all because of the Irvine Company's greed and total lack of concern for the people who live in our community. There is an election coming up on Nov. 4th and we ask all candidates who are running for a council position to stand up and let us know where you stand on this issue so the voters can make their feelings known and counted.
How does our elected body stand on this? Irvine residents need to know.
In 2 years I have seen so much , tOO much development who bring here more people , more traffic, more pollution less space in our schools and definitely I feel now it's too much ! I don't want to see more houses or construction ! I like irvine , human size and convenient , with no time consuming in traffic , with no stress,. I like my city as a safe place To leave! Going bigger will be a mistake . We won't spend more money in theses tiny houses at 1000000 dollars with out options and no backyard . It's insane ! And won't make any sense , if the quality of life is compromised .
Let a village be a place of our kids memories , a place where the time can stop and we can be in peace . No money worth to spoil kids and family memories ... I think irvine get enough money !with all theses new neighborhood !!!!!!!
I can see more of it !!!!!
Re: Woodbridge
Just remember to VOTE OUT the people in place now that are pushing for this fast uncontrollable unnecessary growth.
