Manteca neighborhood rallies against gas station, fast food restaurant being built in community ...Middle East

That's because on the corner of East Woodward Avenue and Pillsbury Road, a new 24-hour AM/PM gas station and fast food restaurant may be built in the heart of their neighborhood.

"I just decided to start a Facebook group," said Johanna Titus, organizer of the Woodward Park United Against Gas Station group. "Maybe we could organize and get together and start like a little bit of a grassroots effort to see what we can do about not getting the gas station in our neighborhood."

After going door to door and creating her own online petition, she's received over 1,000 signatures asking the city to make a change.

The group's main concerns are increased traffic, noise, loitering and health risks.

"In the city's own definition of commercial mixed use, it's a place where neighbors can go and hang out and gather. Last time I checked, I don't go to gas stations to hang out, but that's just me," Titus shared.

"Maybe change some of the guidelines and make it more strict for gas stations, especially in residential areas with parks and children, elderly," she continued. "Hopefully, in the end, we can get them to either stall this or get the proper environmental report done and see if it's truly safe for our neighborhood."

CBS Sacramento reached out to the city for comment, but they said that since there are no updates on this project, they will not be providing a statement. However, they said they are aware of this campaign and are in touch with the organizers.
