and farther, plus down Hathaway Street in both directions... everyday with overflow parking! Next... a city council approved duplexes at the south end of PSNA on 18th street and said there is enough parking,... but there's not! There are cars parked all up & down 18th & 19th streets full of overflow parking from these duplexes. And also this is why at the south end of PSNH on Santiago Street there is overflow cars from that complex. When the developers say that 2 parking spaces per unit (which they told us includes their guest parking) is enough, and that these will all be millennials living here with no cars... they are lying. When everyone in Addington invite 1 friend over, because of all the great amenities they have, where are another 500 cars going to park? Oh, yes,... PSNA. And when people at the Addington can't afford their rent and start sub- renting out rooms & couches to other couples, where are they going to park? Oh yes,... PSNA! That coupled with the information we received from Santa Ana itself: almost every street in the PSNA is 6 feet shorter in width than normal streets because of the age of our neighborhood,... this causes a huge problem. When you line up cars parked on both sides of the street and you try to drive through, it's very, very tight. We have this issue already on some parts of Santa Clara. Many times we have to stop to let another car go by just because it's too tight to get by. So are you really trying to block us from getting out of our complex totally by doing the same on the west end of PSNA? I can't believe you would do that and be responsible for the accidents and the injuries this would cause. 5. I talked with Mr Walkie (who is on the board of the Discovery Center and must be important because they named a street after him) at the lost Planning Commission meeting in January. I asked him,'what are you going to do about the overflow cars parked at the 2525 building right now (his employees and overflow parking),... he said,... 'what are you going to do about it?',...and turned and walked away. I was really disappointed with his answer. OMG... it appears the Discovery Center doesn't care about the overflow parking at all. And plus if they do build a parking structure like they say they MIGHT, then they would charge money to park. Most people will walk from PSNA to skip paying an extra $20. Just look what people do who go to the Angel game or a USC football game,... they park I mile away just to save $20. 6. Traffic. Have you ever looked at where most of the shopping will be done? Grocery stores, Target & the new proposed Walmort are all to the east side of PSNA, not to mention all the fast-food places like McDonalds, Subway, Taco Bell and Del Taco,... how do you think 500 cars are going to get there? They will not try to get onto Main Street and drive dawn to 1711 street and across, they wi l l just drive through PSNA to get there.... All day long! 7. Exiting the Addington. Since I've been one of the picketers on Main Street during this whole debacle,... I can tell you that during rush hour traffic, Main Street heading north is packed and backed up all the way from the 5 freeway to Memory Lane from people heading north on Main and the 5 freeway exit cars going north on Main. Sure, Walkie Way has a light, but it will only allow about 2 cars per light to turn right (due to back up of cars) and maybe 4 to turn left and head south on Main,... as Main Street south is back up also, mainly because everyone has to be in the left lane to get onto the 5 freeway heading north and south. So, how in God's green heaven are 500 cars going to exit the
