Marguerite Berry July 10, 2018 The Honorable City Council 20 Civic Center Plaza, M-30 P.O. Box 1988 Santa Ana, CA 92702 RE: AA 2018-05 1440-1450 E. 17thStreet Dear City Council: I am a resident of Santa Ana and reside at Linwood Avenue. I have lived in the neighborhood here since it was first built in the mid 1950's, having spent 60+ years on E. Wellington. The purpose of this letter is to voice my protest of the charter school project at 1440-1450 E. 17thStreetdue to traffic issues. A few years ago, 14thand 15thStreets east of Grand Avenue were closed to traffic, from Grand Ave. just south of the Target store. Due to this, we have experienced an enormous increase in the volume of vehicular traffic entering our neighborhood on Linwood Avenue via 17thStreet. As we understand this project, AA 2018-05, traffic would be increased on Linwood due to entering and exiting students from this school. This increased traffic would have an adverse impact on our street and many residents have expressed their disapproval and great concern over this situation. Since we have increased traffic due to the closure of 14t1and 151hStreets, we are therefore very concerned what effect this extra traffic from the school would have on our street. We are requesting that the Council take a very close look at the adverse effect this project will have on our street and neighborhood. If this project is approved we are requesting parking permits be issued to residents on the 1500 and 1600 blocks of North Linwood. Sincerely, Marguerite Berry i
