We live in <br />the city and love that our daughter & niece love going to school at such a great preschool in the city. The <br />teachers and staff at Plumfield are amazing and work really well with all of the kids at all of the different age <br />groups. <br />If there would have already been a gas station on the corner, we would have never enrolled our daughter at <br />Plumfield. Just the thought of all of the potential cancerous fumes from gas, traffic and a driveway (with cars <br />rushing in and out of to get to get gas) so close to the entrance of the school would deter me from having my <br />daughter attend. Kids should be able to play and learn with clean air, not with fumes and carcinogins. Also, <br />there are plenty of other gas stations in the area, what benefit is there from adding another station? 4-5 stations <br />within a few blocks of the location. <br />It also doesn't seem like a good use of land for a business that the state of CA is moving away from. I love the <br />forward thinking of the city of Santa Ana and know that the city can see a better use than another gas station. <br />Sounds like a great school can be around a lot longer than a gas station according to the state. A gas station on <br />the corner will be detrimental to Plumfield. Wasn't there a gas station there a long time ago that didn't work out <br />when it was just gas powered cars before EV's hit the market? <br />Starting in 2035, California will prohibit the sale of new gas -powered cars. A <br />measure approved by the California Air Resources Board requires all new cars, <br />SUVs and pickup trucks sold in the state to generate zero tailpipe emissions by <br />then. <br />Governor Newsom Announces California Will Phase Out Gasoline -Powered Cars & <br />Drastically Reduce Demand for Fossil Fuel in California's Fight Against Climate Change <br />Link below- <br />1 <br />
