I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Deer Canyon Project. My concerns center on the risks
it poses to wildlife in Deer Canyon and, but even more critically, the increased danger for Anaheim Hills
residents in the event of a wildfire.
The Canyon Fire 2 in 2017 highlighted the life-threatening challenges residents face when evacuating
with traffic jams; the slow traffic making it difficult to escape safely. I vividly remember passing along
Serrano Avenue, watching flames break out nearby and praying the surrounding trees wouldn’t ignite. It
was terrifying. Adding another estimated 1,000 cars to the area would only heighten this risk, potentially
costing lives.
This is a plea for the safety of our community. Please do not move forward with this development.
Sincerely,
Marcia & John Newberry
