<br />I am writing regarding the disruption that is happening & will happen in DTSA. <br /> <br />My main concern is that all of the projects, which include the Streetcar, Toll Brothers and how they <br />will affect the Downtown & surrounding neighborhoods. <br /> <br />All of these projects are going to have things in common. <br />Street closures, disruption for businesses/residents, traffic & parking. <br /> <br />I was told that in 2010 there was an EIR conducted that included all the proposed projects. This <br />study showed that traffic & parking would be greatly affected and would affect the quality of life for <br />the residents & businesses. However it still passed the Planning Commission & the City Council, <br />which means that it was ignored and disregarded! <br /> <br />I am in favor of many if not all of the projects, but I still would like some accountability regarding the <br />impact on the traffic & parking on how this will affect the Downtown and surrounding <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />I am asking that you consider that each project add sufficient parking, so they will not have to park in <br />the neighborhoods. <br /> <br />I live at Town Square Condominiums, and we lack parking. Street parking is metered and not allowed <br />over night parking. Many of our residents have to park miles away and walk home. <br /> <br />With more apartments being built in downtown, I can see this problem getting worse. <br /> <br />I know that construction will have an impact, but I was upset when I heard that you all knew this <br />would happen and didn’t plan for it. <br /> <br />Thanks for your consideration. <br />Tish Leon <br />Downtown Neighborhood Association <br />7 <br />
