A massive Amazon Warehouse, with massive truck traffic, is coming to Santa Maria and will dramatically affect traffic from Santa Barbara to Paso Robles.
Traffic here is already bad, but this will add 72 truck trips per 20 minutes and hundreds per hour, 24/7. Plus construction and employee traffic.
Contact government officials and the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Maria to voice your opinion. Developers are attempting to gain approval while avoiding notification to the public. A public commentary period is about to end which few people are aware of.

"The Santa Maria Planning Commission will get its first look at the package delivery warehouse proposal expected to add hundreds of vehicles onto roads around the project site on the western edge of the city."
