Dear Council Member,
I am wri?ng to ask you to vote "No" on the Anaheim Hills Fes?val Center apartment project. You don't need to be a
traffic expert to see that Santa Ana Canyon Road is already at its limit. Most days, just ge?ng to the store or work is a
challenge. The idea that we can add over 400 apartments and about 1300 people to this area without crea?ng a disaster
during a wildfire evacua?on just doesn't pass the "common sense" test.
The city's own reports admit that it already takes residents over three hours to get out during a fire. To then say that
adding another 7 minutes of delay is "not a big deal" is incredibly frustra?ng to those 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 basically
admi?ng the evacua?on plan is broken but choosing to make it even more crowded anyway.
We need our leaders to look at the reality of our streets, not just the numbers on a developer's spreadsheet. Please do
the responsible thing and protect the residents who are already here. We need be?er ways to get out of the Hills, not
more people trapped in them. Please vote "No" on this project.
Sincerely,
Jeff Miller
Anaheim Foothills Resident
