Dear
Council Member, I am writing to as k you to vote "No" on the Anaheim Hills Fes tival Center apartment project. You don't need to be a traffic expert to s ee that Santa
Ana Canyon Road is already at its limit. Mos t days , jus t getting to the s tore or work is a
challenge. 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 jus t does n't pas s
the "common s ens e" tes t. 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 "not a big deal" is incredibly frus trating to thos e of us who live here. If a
bucket is already overflowing, you don't keep pouring more water into it and say it's
fine. By approving this , the city is bas ically 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 s preads heet. Please do
the res pons ible thing and protect the res idents who are already here. We need better ways to get out of the Hills , not more people trapped in them. Pleas e vote "No"
on this project. Sincerely,
Heather Fenner
