Future of Moraga's Rancho Laguna in doubt A proposed 180 acre development East of Rheem Blvd (see picture) threatens
a designated scenic corridor in Moraga. The project would also eliminate the natural creek parallel to Rheem Blvd. using soil excavated from the ridge to
fill the stream, thereby destroying its riparian canopy and cutting 73 mature native trees.
The proposed project conflicts with numerous provisions of Moraga's General Plan, including its protections for ridgelines, creeks, and scenic corridors. Additionally, the Regional Water Quality Control Board has sharply criticized the project. For more information, go to Lamorinda Open Space. |
