Permanently Destroys the North Fields — Essential Infrastructure,

Not “Empty Land”

The North Fields are the valley’s heart and lungs. They provide:

• Water filtration

• Air cleansing and inversion protection

• Generational agriculture, which will be taken through eminent domain

• Wildlife habitat and wetlands

• Tourism, scenery, and the identity of Heber Valley (blue ribbon fishing, open views, the reason people visit)

This is irreplaceable land. Option B trades it for negligible traffic relief.
