Councilmember Stone expressed his concern regarding the traffic element of the
Environmental Impact Report. Mr. Stone stated he feels the data received in early
1990 and 1991 is outdated compared with the present traffic conditions.
Councilmember Stone said he feels the traffic problems along this corridor will only get
worse and residents of Temecula and Murrieta will avoid traveling this corridor which
will have a negative impact on other shopping centers as well.
Planning Director Gary Thornhill advised that the E.I.R. addresses the entire
development, and not the 38 acre Wal-Mart development alone. Director Thornhill
stated the addendum to the E.I.R. addresses the current traffic conditions and the
traffic studies are very consistent with what the traffic models are showing.
Mayor Pro Tem Roberts stated that he more concerned with the access at the freeway
and he feels the freeway ramps and overpass will not be able to handle the traffic
generated by the shopping centers along this corridor. He also stated that the RTA is
designating bus turn-outs at the east and west side entrances to Wal-Mart and asked
that staff and Councilmember Parks work with the RTA to get the bus routes into the
shopping centers to make access easier for the users.
