Received at Meeting City Council 2/19/2019 francine vasgnez < 'I'o:sketahei,@santa-ana.org Mar 12. 2018 a1 4:12 PM Atttn: Selena Kelaher There is a dangerous safety issue on Main Street., I can hear the crashing of cars, the ambulances, Firetrucks and police cars driving down Main Street. I know that I have almost been hit by the cars exiting the 5 north on Main, there are about four signs that say no right turn on red, but the turns are still being made. I have almost been hit leaving the neighborhood and turning into Edgewood off of Main Street. I have also witness accidents on Main, i even saw a car drive up the middle divider on Main Street. And you want more of this! The pedestrians with small children crossing Main Street on Edgewood to get to the Discovery Center and pedestrians with small children crossing Santiago Park/ Walkie Way to get to the Discovery Center. Luckily the entrance to Santiago Park is closed off at Main Street, and is only open when the log cabin is rented. The school buses park in the riverbed and the school children eat lunch in the playground and they walk through the park using that entrance going under Main Street to get to the Discovery Center as their field trip with their teachers and Adult volunteers. I too like many of my neighbors use that path to go to the mall, which right now is safe and we don't have to worry about cars racing by. And you want to take that safety away! Did you think of the privacy of the people who back yards back up to the 2525 Main Street? If a 5 story building goes up, their privacy is taken away because now they can't go in their back yard to sun bath topless or in the nude if they wanted because someone could be watching them from one of those windows. Peeping Toms! How about their children who can't play in their back yard because you have a child molester watching them getting their rocks off. PROBLEM How many cars per unit 1 1/2 cars, really who has that! We are a family of 4 and we have 4 cars. Where are they going to park their extra cars down the street in front of my house or my neighbors? That's invading my privileges of being a home owner. Right now we have a nice quite neighborhood, and that is what is so nice about this quite old neighborhood. We have houses that are over 100 years old. I can walk out my door and look down the street right now and I see trees, and squirrels. This morning the parrots were flying from tree to tree. And you want to make a new building that doesn't match these old homes to bring down the value of our homes! Sounds like you also want to take away my view and my neighbors view and replace them with a building, turn this quiet neighborhood to a loud noisy one. By the way, I'm Hispanic. F. Vasquez -1-�bn/
