To Whom It May Concern,
Firs t I want to s ay, I lived in Anaheim Hills for 15 years and moved to Yorba Linda in 2010. So I am writing this as a non-res ident to AH. Maybe it does n’t carry any
weight, but truly it s hould carry MORE weight as a concern for YOUR residents and the neighboring city res idents . Not to mention the s hop and res taurant owners
of AH.
The traffic in Anaheim Hills (s pecifically at the 91 Fwy and Weir Canyon) on Thursday and especially Friday’s is horrendous . The thought of the approval of MORE
hous ing in the Fes tival Center area is actually quite s hocking. Adding to this mess on the heavies t traffic days s eems counter intuitive to the res idents and
neighboring city res idents who s hop and dine in Anaheim Hills .
From a s afety s tandpoint (fire evacuation - I lived there during the freeway fires and it was terrifying trying to get down Serrano). I had my 3 children in my car and
flames were 5 feet from us burning on the middle is land and s ides of the s treet. How on earth, if that happens again, God forbid, do you plan on helping res idents
evacuate when adding MORE res idents at the bas e of the evacuation route?
What is the evacuation plan now?
Las tly, as a cons umer to the s tores and res taurants in Anaheim Hills . Our family and many I know in Yorba Linda will not go near the AH area s tarting at 2pm on
Friday. So your s tore and res taurant owners are LOSING INCOME. You should be protecting them.
I hope you figure this out for the long term well being of your res idents.
Such a dis appointment,
