Denise Roberge

Ms Roberge (or Robergé) was one of several Thunderbird residents who voiced strong opposition to CV Link at a 16 April 2015 council meeting at Rancho Mirage.

Council Statements Regarding CV Link

In citing text from the meeting minutes, others' comment is not often included, and no ellipses are provided.

The council minutes provide a summary of her statement, "13 years ago she built a home in Rancho Mirage on the Butler-Abrams Trail [at 70380 Desert Cove Avenue]. Ms. Roberge displayed an aerial photograph of her home showing that the proposed CV Link roadway would go directly in front of her home and be 10 feet from her kitchen and bedroom windows, in addition to a proposed access road adjacent to the side of her home. Ms. Roberge feels this would make her home unlivable and unsellable as well as affecting other properties for sale around it. She appealed to the City Council to fight this project."
