Subject:[EXTERNAL] Until Fire Evacuation times/infrastructure are improved, you must vote NO on Festival apartment project!

Dear City Council,
For the following reasons, you must vote NO on the
proposed Festival apartment project:
1) The Festival Theater traffic has already been replaced,
and exceeded, with Waze/traffic apps DAILY rerouting
1,000’s of 91fwy cars through the East Hills!!!
2) With 3 hour evacuation times, to go 2 1/2 miles from
Weir to Imperial Highway, it is irresponsible and
dangerous to add more residents to Anaheim Hills, until
the infrastructure has been improved so residents can
evacuate in a timely & safe manner. A crossing at
Fairmont is not going to vastly improve this situation, nor
an 241 Fast track connector or 1 added 91fwy lane. Much,
much more must be done to improve evacuation times,
traffic and safety before more residents and cars are added
to the area.
3) The Know Your Way plan is flawed:
People will NOT head East towards the fire to evacuate.
People with loved ones at home or at private schools
will 100% come back into the area to get loved ones.
And, there are no staged buses on windy days to evacuate
the many private schools & daycares in the area.
Until these issues are resolved, no additional housing
should be added to this VERY HIGH FIRE SEVERITY
ZONE. Protect YOUR residents!!!
Sincerely,
Grace McGee
