Received <br />Meet/hgz�19/2pI9 ci/ <br />March 5, 2018 <br />Environmental Impact Complaints of 2525 Main Street <br />Air Quality; <br />The air will become worse especially during construction. Dirt, dust & particles flying in the air, not to <br />mention all the trucks and building equipment trucks going through PSNA. And all the trucks for the <br />workers (where will they park... oh yea,... in PSNA). After construction.. there will be 1,000 more cars <br />coming & going from our neighborhood,... plus extra trucks for deliveries... UPS, food, groceries... all <br />congesting our air. Who suffers? PSNA families. <br />Traffic & Circulation: <br />THIS IS HUGE... FIRST OF ALL, THE MAIN STREET/S FREEWAY ENTRANCE & EXITS AS IT STANDS NOW,... <br />IS A DEBACLE. <br />1. When heading South on Main prior to Edgewood, everyone is in the left hand lane to get onto <br />the 5 freeway north & south. We, the property owners who want to turn left onto Edgewood <br />are backed up for blocks, because the left hand turn lane only holds 4 cars and we can't even get <br />into the turn lane because of everyone trying to get onto the freeway. And with the addition of <br />the 247 new apartments being added at 2700 Main Street, (500 cars from the apartments and <br />another 500 cars when the Well's Fargo building is renovated) OMG... that's another 1,000 cars <br />right there! The intersection of Main/Edgewood & the 5 freeway will be backed up for blocks. <br />And then, many of these cars will travel through Park Santiago to get to work and bypass all of <br />the traffic jams. Which means hundreds of more cars going through PSNA, and that's without <br />the 2525 Main Street buildings I I Who suffers from these decisions? Ob wait, it the hard <br />working tax payers in PSNA. <br />2. Just looking at the entrance to the 5 Freeway at Main Street is mess as it is now. I see people <br />exiting the freeway to turn right onto Main... they don't read the signs & turn on a red light, <br />then stop in the middle of Main St when they get into the intersection and realize they have a <br />red light. The cars coming North on Main Street don't know whether to stop at the first light <br />prior to Edgewood, so they end up in the intersection stopped wondering what to do. The car <br />pool lane off the 5 Freeway heading north is a disaster. The city has to repaint it at least every <br />month because of speeders not slowing down as they exit... many, many accidents at that off <br />ramp. These items above show that adding another 2,000 cars (both proposed projects) would <br />spell DISASTER for PSNA families. Again, who suffers? PSNA hard working families and their <br />loved ones. <br />3. 1 believe the proposed 2525 Main St building would not go through with 2 entrances on Main <br />Street only. So, as promising as it sounds to close off the Edgewood Street entrance proposed <br />by the builders, I believe the Fire Department, Ambulance & Police will not go for that at all,... <br />which means Edgewood would be open & 1,000's of cars going through PSNA. Who pays the <br />price for this,.. Oh wait.., it's PSNA hard working, tax payers! <br />4. The cheapest gasoline is on Grand & Santa Clara. 1,000's of cars will be traveling through PSNA <br />to get to those gas stations. Who suffers from this decision? PSNA hard working families <br />S. Reasonably priced fast foods and grocery stores are mostly over on Grand & 17". 1,000's of cars <br />will be traveling through PSNA to get to McDonalds, IHOP, Taco Hell, Del Taco, Subway, Target, <br />Stater Bros, Aibertsons. These cars will avoid Main Street as much as possible, which means <br />
