Covell Village project failing
Davis voters rejecting effort to create new development
Voters reject contested development plan
“I thought we would win but I didn’t think it would be this big of a vote.”
Forum addresses Measure X concerns
Eileen Samitz, co-coordinator of the No on X campaign, said that as a former city of Davis planning commissioner, she grinds her teeth every time she sees a sign for the development that calls it “smart planning.”
No on Measure X
"The development is unlikely to create a sense of community. Covell Village won't add much to a city that prides itself on a small-town feel."
Covell Village's cars are a challenge
"With the addition of Covell Village, two roadway segments degrade to level of service F, which is described in the EIR as ”extremely low travel speeds prevail along the road segment. Intersection congestion is likely at signalized intersections, with high delays, high volumes and extensive queuing. Conditions are intolerable for most drivers.“'
Voters get last word on growth
"Davis residents will OK or block plans for city's largest development."
Yes on Measure X campaign appealing to students for support
“They basically have cut students out of the plan,” Forbes said. “They originally had four-bedroom apartments, which would be good for some students, but they have vanished.”
Measure X supporters, foes spend differently
No on X = $24,588.00 from Davis Residents.
Yes on X = $520.00 from Davis Residents +
$61,000.00 from Covell Village Co.
The best democracy money can buy = PRICELESS
