Subject:[EXTERNAL] Opposition to the Festival Center Project

To: Anaheim City Council
I am writing to express our overy strong opposition to the Festival Center Project due to unresolved public safety and evacuation concerns.
This area already suffers from limited ingress and egress and is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Evacuation is currently a
known problem, and the Festival Center Project will only exacerbate the problem. Proposed traffic measures have not shown to meaningfully
address evacuation reliability under emergency conditions to ensure the safety of residents.
Approving a major new development without a proven, effective evacuation plan places existing residents at increased risk. Public safety must be
resolved before additional density is considered.
For these reasons I urge the city to deny or delay approval of the Festival Center Project until evacuation and emergency access issues are fully
and transparently addressed.
Sincerely,
Marcia & John Newberry
