Dear Council Member,
I am writing to as k you to vote "No" on the Anaheim Hills Fes tival Center apartment project. Santa Ana Canyon Road is already at its limit. Mos t days , jus t getting to
the s tore or work is a challenge. There is up to 40 minutes of traffic on an internal community road during rus h hour. The idea that we can add over 400 apartments
and about 1300 people to this area without creating a dis as ter during a wildfire evacuation does not seem s afe or add value to the community.
The city's own reports admit that it already takes res idents over three hours to get out during a fire. To then s ay that adding another 7 minutes of delay is a deal to us
who live here. By approving this , the city is admitting the evacuation plan is broken but choos ing to make it even more crowded anyway.
We need our leaders to look at the reality of our s treets , not jus t the numbers on a developer's spreadsheet. Pleas e do the res pons ible thing and protect the res idents
who are already here. Pleas e vote "No" on this project.
Sincerely,
Rutvi Ray
