Walmart relocation

A 12-year resident opposing the Walmart relocation at Atherton and Main, citing traffic, home value impacts, and concerns that relocating the store doesn't fix existing loitering and safety issues — 'relocation without a real plan is not a solution. It's displacement.'

A new resident who echoed the previous speaker, saying the Walmart project would increase traffic and safety concerns and asking the council to bring a healthier alternative for the community's future.

A 22-year resident of the Atherton development who asked the city to use the vacant Orchard Mall space instead, calling the Save Mart-adjacent corner a 'traffic nightmare' and questioning the direction of the city's planning.

A Zoom commenter who echoed opposition to both the Walmart supercenter and the neighborhood gas station, arguing Manteca needs community gathering places — outdoor dining, ice cream shops — rather than more car-oriented retail.
