Subject:[EXTERNAL] Deer Canyon- Opposition to Festival Center - Public Safety and Evacuation Conce rns
Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachme nts unle ss you recognize the
sender and are expecting the message.
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 Severity Zone. Evacuation is currently a known problem,
and the City has not demonstrated that the Festival Center will improve evacuation safety for existing 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 existing residents at increased risk. Public safety must be resolved before
additional density is considered.
For these reasons, 1 urge the City to deny or delay approval of the Festival Center until evacuation and emergency access issues are fully and transparently
addressed.
Sincerely,
Janet Sabato
Hunter’s Point Neighborhood
