As a Pacific Park/Eastside <br />native and neighborhood leader, I want to emphasize that Pacific Park/Eastside is one of the densest and most <br />underserved communities in Santa Ana. The 92701 zip code has been the site for great hardship with little to support or <br />uplift residents. <br />I am also writing you as a member of the Santa Ana Healthy Neighborhood Alliance (SAHNA) whose efforts to Save the <br />historic Cypress Fire Station have included multiple neighborhoods and spanned over a decade of advocacy in our city. <br />Rehabilitating the Cypress Fire Station and restoring it to public use could help the entire neighborhood blossom and <br />surrounding neighborhoods to thrive. Please retain this important connection to our City History by removing the <br />Cypress Fire Station from the Surplus Land list and rehabbing it as a public site for public services. <br />1 <br /> <br />
