Old Highway 80 Hurt Downtown Fairfield

I-80 took business away from our downtown. Back in the old days, traffic that went on highway 80, went through downtown Fairfield. Since 80 opened, the city has had to invest money into downtown to compensate for the loss of business. Highway 12’s improvements also effected downtown Fairfield in the later years. Downtown is the backbone for our community – let’s think smart growth and revitalize downtown Fairfield. Walnut Creek did a great revitalizing job.
