    FAQ

    WHERE WILL THE DEVELOPMENT ACTUALLY BE?

    Off Highway 18, west of Daley Canyon in Rimforest.

    WHAT MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES WILL IT SERVE?

    Agua Fria, Arrowhead Villas, Cedar Glen, Crest Park, Crestline, Deerlodge Park, Blue Jay, Strawberry Flats, Skyforest, Rimforest, Twin Peaks, Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs.

    No. According to the recently released Environmental Impact Report, every environmental issue has been addressed and mitigated. Remember, this is our environment too, our home. We live, work and worship here. Everything is designed to harmonize with nature not injure it.

    WHAT ABOUT THE NEED FOR MORE TRAFFIC LIGHTS?
