Becerra, Alexis <br />From:Kelly Kraus-Lee <kellyakraus@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, March 4, <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Support for Item 13 <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear City Council, <br /> <br />I write in support of item 13 for additional Legacy Square Transportation Improvements, but with the caveat that if we <br />continue to allow industrial trucks to use Santiago St, including dump trucks connected to the Ware Disposal facility, the <br />paving will crack quickly and cyclists will not feel safe using the bike lane. <br /> <br />I tried to use the existing protected bike lane on Santiago/6th St last week and had to ride past a dozen dump trucks <br />queuing at Madison/Ware Disposal (the gas smell paired with the dump smell was lovely) and then had to dodge objects <br />and people in the bike lane in front of Bruce Metals. I've ridden up Santiago to 17th and the street is really scary to bike <br />due to the semi trucks & worker trucks speeding up and down. One time I was left in a cloud of burning rubber when <br />employees at a business at Santiago St decided to race up the street when they got off work. I am eager to see further <br />investment in cyclist and pedestrian safety in this area, but I fear it is wasted money if we do not also address the <br />industrial businesses. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Kelly Kraus-Lee <br />Ward 6 <br />2 <br />
