Dear Mayor and City Council,
I am writing to formally oppose the proposed Festival Center project due to unresolved public safety and evacuation concerns.
This area already suffers from limited ingress and egress and is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Zone. Evacuation is currently a known problem, and the
City has not demonstrated that the proposed Festival Center development will improve evacuation safety for existing - or future - residents. Proposed traffic or
circulation measures have not been shown to meaningfully address evacuation reliability under emergency conditions.
Approving a major new development without a proven, effective evacuation plan places the existing populace at increased risk of a horrible death by fire. Public
safety must be resolved before additional density is considered.
For these reasons, I urge the City to deny approval of the Festival Center apartment complex until evacuation and emergency access issues are fully and
transparently addressed.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Lawrence Harrison, MD
