PROPOSED NEW BUS ROUTES - (Continued) <br /> <br />"owner, tax payer & bus patron. <br /> <br />Yours very truly <br />Evelyn Yost <br />324 E. Myrtle <br />Santa Ana, Calif. 92701 <br /> <br />"Santa Ana City Ccu ncil <br /> City Hall Annex <br /> 530 N. Ross Street <br /> Santa Ana, California <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />January 16, 1972 <br /> <br />"I am very concerned over the change of the "Proposed Bus Routs"] . <br />Have patronized the bus service daily for over six years. I live <br />at 2918 W. Raymar, Santa Ana, which is just off of Willits and <br />Fairview. As the present route stands now I get off at Sullivan <br />and McFadden. The new route that is proposed would be First <br />street and Fairview. This is a very dangerous route from the <br />pedestrian point of view for the following reasons: <br /> <br />A good portion of Fairview from First Street does not have <br />side-walk of any kind. The east side of Fairview does have <br />far more side-walk than the west. (Walking where there is no <br />side-walk does not help the looks of your shoes either. ) <br />However the part that doesn't have sidewalk is like walking <br />up a side of a hill, and very close to the speeding cars. <br /> <br />IT2. <br /> <br />Fairview street is very, very busy street in fact they sould <br />call it the Fairview Freeway. There is a cross walk at <br />Fairview and Willits. It may as well not be there for the <br />speeding cars, for the most part, do not slow down for it. It <br />is like buying a one way ticket to the cemetery to cross there <br />especially during the hours when traffic is especially heavy <br />going to work and returning home. <br /> <br />"In fact they should have a stop light there not only from the pedestrian <br />point of view, but cars too. We who live in the tract homes off of <br />Fairview find it extremely dangerous and almost impossible to get <br />on to Fairview. <br /> <br />"On the new routing you are also missing Fashion Square, which <br />makes it bad for the people who work in that area like my neighbor <br />and others who I know go out there too. The present route you <br />now have, you can at least get home in a safe and sane fashion. So <br />rather than spend money for air-conditioning I would rather see the <br />city spend money to make it safe for the people to catch the bus. <br /> <br />Since rely, <br /> /s/ Lucile Badders <br />(Mrs.) Lucile Badders <br />2918 W.
