AS A RESIDENT OF ANAHEIM EAST HILLS SUBDIVISION I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY CONCERNS AND OPPOSITION TO THE FESTIVAL
APARTMENT PROJECT!
FIRST CONCERN IS THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN ANAHEIM HILLS, OFF OF WEIR CANYON, SANTA ANA CANYON, FESTIVAL, AND
MONTE VISTA ROADS! THESE ROADS DO NOT LEND THEMSELVES TO ACCOMMODATE POSSIBLY ANOTHER PLUS 1000 CARS! UNDER
CURRENT CONDITIONS WE ARE UNABLE TO LEAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD OFF MONTE VISTA TO WEIR CANYON STARTING AT 4:00PM M-F,
TO GET ON 91 FREEWAY, 241 TOLL ROAD, OR ACROSS TO SAVI RANCH, YORBA LINDA.
DURING THE FREEWAY FIRES WE WERE UNABLE TO LEAVE OUR HOUSES, AND WE HAD TO TURN BACK TO OUR HOUSES DUE TO THE
GRIDLOCK! WE FOUND OUT THE ONLY WAY OUT WAS TO START WALKING, HOWEVER, MY 95 YRS OLD MOTHER WAS VISITING AT THE
TIME,AND NOT AN OPTION. THE LOOK ON HER FACE STILL HAUNTS ME WHEN I TOLD HER....THERE WAS NO WAY OUT!
I PLEAD WITH YOU, NOT TO APPROVE FESTIVAL PROJECT AT THIS TIME FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS, UNLESS A SOLUTION FOR
AN ADDITIONAL ROAD ACROSS TO YORBA LINDA, ADDITIONAL LANES OR RAMPS ARE BUILT , OR AS I SEE IT....WE WILL BURN IN PLACE,
BECAUSE OF THIS LAND LOCK/GRIDLOCK!
COUNCILWOMEN MEEKS IS A BIG ADVOCATE OF 'FIND YOUR WAY' AS A SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEM. 'FIND YOUR WAY' SOUNDS GREAT
ON PAPER, HOWEVER, IT HAS NOT BEEN USED OR TESTED, AND NOW YOU WANT TO APPROVE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC? THESE PLANS
FOR ADDITIONAL HOMES, AND/OR APARTMENTS LOOK FABULOUS ON PAPER, BUT I ASK WHO IS REALLY LOOKING AT INFRASTRUCTURE?
WE DO NEED HOUSING, BUT LET'S START FIRST WITH FIXING THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND SAVE OUR LIVES!
LASTLY, I ASK HOW MANY FOLKS ON COUNCIL OR PLANNING DEPT HAVE ACTUALLY DRIVEN OR SPEND TIME IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD M-
F EVENINGS? OR ACTUALLY LIVE AND HAVE TO DRIVE SANTA ANA CANYON ROAD OR WEIR CANYON TO GET HOME? I HOPE YOU ALL
ARE NOT JUST LOOKING AT PLANS ON PAPER, BUT ACTUALLY VISIT AREA AT TIME OF GRIDLOCK!
THANK YOU
