When Smart Growth Equals Bad Government

Dear Editor,

Wasn’t sure who to vote for mayor of Hollister. Thought we needed someone young enough to be reelected each time.

Wake up, residents of San Benito! The comment period for the environmental impact report for the San Benito County General Plan ended last week, and it could have mean huge changes in the county.  Major features of the Plan are four “New Community Study Areas” scattered out in the north part of the County, a large “Winery/Hospitality Priority” region, and lots of new and expanded roads. One of the New Community areas includes the site of the huge Rancho San Benito development that was proposed a few years ago between Hollister and Gilroy. Road plans would include extending Shore Road to Highway 101 near Y Road, and realigning Highway 25 in that area, which would also accommodate the Rancho San Benito development (could this also be the reason for a proposed expensive bridge across the San Benito River near Y Road?). The other New Community areas are west of San Juan Bautista, northeast of Hollister to the Santa Clara County line, and south of Hollister.
