3) The new curb cut on Main Street closer to Edgewood <br />4) Surface parking for Discovery Center patrons <br />These 4 items above were not included in the original DEIR as they are new to the project. They have not been <br />subjected to the 45 day public review process per CEOA since they were not included in the original DEIR. This <br />could result in a legal issue for the City having an inadequate EIR for this project. <br />However, the bigger issue from these redesign items have to do with Public Safety. The close proximity of 7 <br />traffic lights along the stretch of Main Street from Edgewood to La Veta could pose a significant issue with Fire <br />and Police during certain high peak traffic times. <br />Also, the stacking when cars are trying to turn left into the proposed project, Discovery Center or into Park <br />Santiago neighborhood will be an issue due to the staggered intersection at Walkie Way which will cause a <br />back up on both sides of Main Street during high peak traffic times due to the short left turn pockets. The <br />park access for Santiago Park is through the entrance of the proposed project.... this is another cause for <br />concern as it will be confusing for drivers trying to access the park. <br />Children visiting the Discovery Center will need to cross Main Street if parking across from the Discovery <br />Center and due to the off -set intersection and cross walk, there may be a safety issue when crossing Main <br />Street because of this off -set intersection. <br />And lastly, the new curb cut closer to Edgewood and the northbound 5 Fwy off ramp will absolutely cause <br />issues as cars will either block the intersection and/or create tremendous back up ...... again, causing a Public <br />Safety concern. <br />Common sense tells you that once again, the revised project is being shoe -horned into a location that can not <br />physically accommodate the project. <br />Again, the correct conclusion is that something better needs to be considered for this site ..... don't justsettle <br />for less because its easy and you feel sorry for the applicant! On Tuesday, please vote Noon the revised <br />project ..... we all can do better) I <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Diane Fradkin <br />27 Year Santa Ana Resident <br />714-914-8047 <br />
