Tustin Ave Public Comment <br />Council Members, <br />I'm a resident in Ward 3 and urging you to deny the appeal of a gas station application at 2230 N. Tustin <br />Avenue for the following reasons: <br />1. The proximity to the school next door provides a safety hazards for small kids who are unaware of dangers <br />of an excess amount of cars that will rotate through there. <br />2. The emissions smell of gas and diesel will cause harm to young developing bodies. Gas spills cause a <br />significant public health risks, see the Johns Hopkins report below: <br />https:Hhub.jhu.edu/2014/10/07/gas-station- <br />spills/#::text=Researchers%20with%20the%20Johns%20Hopkins,larger%20issue%20than%20previousl <br />20thought. <br />Small spills at gas stations could cause <br />significant public health risks over time <br />Soill and gmuindwa eia imay Ik e iiimIpeiA illed imm e t[lain <br />pireviouslly undeia stood Iby dirc. ps of hu6i slipiiIIIIed at gas <br />stations <br />I�u,I�J.II�1i r t�i� <br />3. Traffic congestion in this area making it more difficult for parents to navigate the area. <br />4. Increased noise in the area will create distractions for students <br />5. We see more and more panhandlers, loiterers , and people who are mentally ill hang out at gas stations. They <br />will be within feet of young kids. <br />6. The height of kids are shorter than drivers can see, the amount of cars that will be around and the likelihood <br />of kids running out when they get out of school has the potential for great harm. <br />Rigo Garcia <br /> <br />
