Proposed Walmart relocation to Atherton Drive and Main Street
Manteca
Summary
Several residents voiced strong opposition to moving Walmart to the corner of Atherton and Main, citing traffic near the freeway exit, effects on home values, and skepticism that relocating the store fixes existing safety problems like loitering. Staff confirmed the project is only at the preliminary application stage with a formal application, environmental review and hearings still at least a year out.

Impact analysis
No cost to the city identified yet — the project is months away from formal review.
If built, the relocated store would serve shoppers with a newer, larger facility near the freeway.
Neighbors near Tinnin and the Atherton/Main area say they'd bear the traffic, safety and neighborhood-character impacts.
