What People are Saying
"I’m worried about the major negative impact on our community. Water, electricity, more traffic congestion, and how this will impact our local schools."
"Hate to lose our mall. Loss of jobs, a community gathering spot, and loss of a convenient, local place to shop or just go for a walk."
"I'm not opposed to "reimagining" the mall, but what's proposed is GROSS!!"
"Thank you for creating this watch group to pay attention to the details and hold the developers accountable."
"Intriguing development process but tragic we will be basically be losing the original Hillsdale Mall. Would strongly urge a slow, deliberative process on all of that. Once it is done, it cannot be undone!!"
"Concerned about surrounding neighborhoods and the negative impact this new development will bring - increase traffic congestion, lack of adequate parking, oversized structures, lack of stores/goods for the community."
"Very concerned about losing so much retail in favor of more office space which is empty across the street. Housing will look nicer than parking lot but concerned about more parking seepage into the Lanes"
""I think it's a shame to get rid of our only mall. It's small and comfortable."
"I’m in favor of updating but this gross neglect of the community and focus on $$$ per square foot has the risk of leaving many empty spaces that don’t add to the culture of San Mateo."
