Page 7 <br />Cedar Street neighborhood has soil lead levels 50x higher than the statewide limit. This impact <br />not only affects the developmental growth of children and results in learning disabilities, but it <br />also drastically affects other health conditions for children and adults. Many of these red areas <br />on the map and the community east of Main Street, are far past crisis levels and need to take <br />substantial steps towards remediation, justice, cleanup, and healthcare. Anything less would <br />indicate that the city doesn’t care about the impacts of the policy decisions that have been <br />dramatically poisoning residents for decades. Currently, residents are pushing for changes to <br />the General Plan, but residents should also have champions that live in these communities to <br />tackle these problems head-on.The needs to be the opportunity to elect a candidate of choice <br />on these issues and the communities east of Main Street (especially the Cedar Street, Madison <br />Park, Delhi Neighborhood, and the hotspot by Dyer) with this soil lead crisis (see Figure F). We <br />need representation in Central Santa Ana and Northern Santa Ana as well. The voices of these <br />communities are overlooked because of the current district lines, and we need to begin to rectify <br />this harm and ensure that these communities can live in dignity and health. <br />Figure F: <br />Source: OCEJ-UCI Soil Lead Study <br />Santa Ana City Council Redistricting Public Map Submission <br />Santa Ana Redistricting Coalition
