2500 N. Main St., Santa Ana, CA 92705 714.542.CUB[ (2823) dlscoverycitbe.org Santiago Park Safety • The project includes improvements to the park that is in need of refurbishment, new equipment, and a thoughtful redesign that will make the park a safe place to visit. Years ago, we stopped sending field trip students to Santiago Park during lunch time because we felt it was too dangerous. Our alternative is for them to eat lunch sitting on the concrete floor so obviously we look forward to the time that it is safe enough that our students can go back to the par], for lunch, • The developer has offered to provide roving security throughout the Santiago Park neighborhood and the surrounding area. This will have a direct benefit to the Cube patrons and help ensure our daily visitors and staff are safe. Rocket Parking Lot • The existing parking lot North of the Cube is what we refer to as the Rocket Lot due to the Delta 3 Rocket on the corner. We have an option of building a parking structure on the Rocket Lot but it would cost significantly more and would only get us 150 additional spaces leaving us still short of our code requirement. Plus, during the construction time we would we be without the spots provided by this lot, putting our attendance at risk. In comparison the new lot on the corner of Main and Edgewood will give us 180 spaces (30 additional spaces), which is enough to meet our code requirement and not take our existing lots out of service. • Additionally our Rocket Lot will remain as an asset to the Cube ensuring our ability to grow future exhibition space to enhance our educational mission for years to come. I personally take great pride in the Discovery Cube and have dedicated my career, my voice, and my passion to creating a beautiful & impactful gem for the City of Santa Ana and the children of Orange County. I know that many of you truly care about the Cube and our mission as well and wanted you to know why we are in full support of the residential & parking lot project at 2525 North Main Street and hope that we have your full support as well.
