Dear City Officials,
Having barely survived the Fire of 2017, we are pleading with you to vote no on this development !!!!! We are residents of Hidden Canyon Estates and had
to drive through fire on both sides of Hidden Canyon Road to escape that fire and lost many homes in our immediate neighborhood!!! It was a nightmare
and the traffic is even worse now on Serrano than it was in 2017. In order to even get out that morning, a fire truck had to stop in the middle of Serrano
and Hidden Canyon Road (and not fight the fire) to block the traffic so we could all get out. Then once we got out of our neighborhood we sat in traffic
with fire all around us to get down the hill only to find more traffic at the bottom on Santa Ana Canyon Road.
These through roads have now become an even worse nightmare because commuters have discovered all of them and between the hours of 2:00 and
7;00 PM all roads leading to the 91 frwy are jammed with traffic. Sometimes it takes a good 10 minutes today to just get out of our neighborhood onto
Serrano. Something needs to be done and it certainly isn't adding more traffic to this mess. Whenever there is any kind of incident on the 91 all streets
are bumper to bumper with commuters even cutting through neighborhoods like Bel Air where Larkwood street becomes bumper to bumper . I witnessed
this many times and it's insane. Unless an officer sits at the corner to ticket people , they still turn right onto Santa Ana Canyon Road out of Bel Air.
I have many times asked why on earth there are no plans to put Fairmont through to over the freeway so at least us residents can get out of this
mess??? Have been told no plans are on the books for this? WHY????? It would also help with evacuation in case of fire???
At this time, please VOTE NO on this project and any other projects that will add to our daily frustration of the traffic in these hills.
Mitch and Vickie Dedic
