April 20, 2021 Cypress Fire Station Correspondence 2021-2017 17 Are we going to set up meetings for Pacific Park? There are many issues up in the air: -- Status of Cypress Street Fire Station - I've heard that we can ask for certain "conditions" can be put onto that sale to benefit the community, such as prospective uses (gallery, community meeting space, etc) that any prospective buyer would have to abide by. If no buyer if found who can comply, the property would revert back to the City. This whole situation is frustrating as many residents, including myself, have inquired and advocated for it throughout the years only to have all this communication fall on deaf ears. I have forwarded below an email I received from Ron Ono after asking about this property at our monthly Arts Commission meetings for almost a year. I can't believe that even with all the advocacy we all have done, the Cypress Fire House would be put into a "surplus property" status. That is a travesty! -- South Main Development - Didn't we all vote for residential development to be capped at 3 or 4 stories? Am I mistaken? At the community meeting we had at Roosevelt, where we all voted on the City proposals, there were specific items we voted on. Is there a printout of the voting results we can review? Can we schedule a presentation on South Main by Erica Gonzalez who did a very informative presentation on South Main that says SIX STORIES are being planned. Is this true? Her email is EricaGon1@gmail.com. I missed the last meeting, but heard from neighbors that the City was saying all public input was over because the the City did their required meetings. I find this unacceptable. Here are the two videos, Erica presented on Youtube and Facebook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htTuWL6lGvY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHA1i9-SaZ0 -- Standard Safety Plan - What ever happened with Standard Avenue improvements? Last I heard there was a glossy brochure produced and then Cory quit. Wasn't he supposed to grant write for Standard Ave improvements? What happened to the list of items to be addressed, which included flashing lights for our crosswalks? After our association went on haitus for the holidays, I ran into a neighbor at a City Council mtg who reported that there was another pedestrian fatality on Bishop & Maple. This was also reported to a City staffer who was present. I can't find his name but he was a hispanic mail with a mustache who said Traffic Safety was his area. He said he would get in touch with you Margarita so we could discuss this issue at our first 2020 meeting but then COVID happened so I don't know what happened.
