Subject:[EXTERNAL] Opposition To The Festival Center Project

Dear Major:
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed Festival Center project due to serious and unresol ved
public safety and evacuation concerns. This area already suffers from severely l imited ingress and egress and is located
within a designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Evacuation challenges are well -documented, and to date, the
City has not demonstrated that this project would improve — or even maintain — safe evacuation conditions for existing
residents.
The proposed traffic and circulation measures fall short of addressing the realities of emergency scenarios. Approving a
high-density development without a proven, effective evacuation strategy is not only irresponsible — it places l ives at
risk.
Publ ic safety is not negotiable. Until the City can provide clear, data-driven evidence that evacuation and emergency
access concerns have been fully resolved, I urge you to deny or, at minimum, del ay approval of the Festival Center
project.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
Sincerel y,
R obert Wol kowicz
