Development in South Placer County is moving ahead with release of planning and environment reports on the transformation of farmland along highway 65 between Roseville, Rockland and Lincoln. The Sunset Area Plan, which includes an education campus, and a 2200-acre development with 5,600 new housing units to be built to accommodate over 13 thousand new residents, could change the landscape in this area for ever. The impact of traffic and other needs to service this surge of people is now under discussion by the county and communities that will be affected. The Sunset interchange on highway 65 and plan to connect it with Baseline road and highway 99 near the Sacramento International airport could create a new highway bi-pass to interconnect highway 65 and 99, and circle the top of the Sacramento Metro area which has been ignored by politicians as a major need for years, but can relieve some of the overflow traffic that now requires Highway 65. I-80 and I-5 to move traffic. The plan will take several years to develop but, in the meantime, developers are building like crazy.
