To: Anaheim City Council
The proposed SALT Project in Anaheim Hills continues to be a serious concern to Anaheim
Hills residents due to several issues:
- TRAFFIC: The large amount of traffic that exists on Santa Ana Canyon Road, especially
heading East, is already nightmarish starting in the early afternoon (after El Rancho
Middle School and Canyon HIgh School dismiss) through 6:30 PM. Beginning at Imperial
Highway and the 91 Freeway, we experience an enormous amount of traffic which extends
further East. Attempting to get on the 91 Freeway at Weir Canyon Rd. going East is also
extremely difficult at present. With the large number of additional residents living at this
project the prospects of traveling on this road will be unimaginable.
- FIRE: When and if another fire erupts in our area, the additional
traffic as mentioned above will surely deadlock the roads within Anaheim Hills,
preventing a safe exit with our existing roads. This project will impede the area for exit.
- ROAD ACCESS: With the aforementioned concerns, there seemingly has been no mention
of a serious addition of road access to assist in the already over-concentrated amount of
traffic in our area. It seems prudent at this time to contact CALTRANS regarding a potential
extension of S. Fairmont Blvd. to the 91 Freeway and even to E. La Palma Ave. This would be
the time to consider this important extension which would no doubt need approval from our
state representatives and area residents. Although the cost of such a project would be large,
it seems that any large development such as The Salt Project should be providing monies
toward any road improvement such as this.
Although the architectural plans of the SALT Project are beautiful and do allow us access to a
previously inaccessible City Park, the above concerns still loom large in the already crowded
conditions of our beloved Anaheim Hills.

Please take these considerations seriously and assure the residents of Anaheim Hills that
you will continue to serve them and be considerate of our concerns regarding the SALT
Project.
Sincerely,
