November 18, 202- Float Santa Ana City Council, Thanks for 0 your dedication to maintain and improve; our city. I live in the South Coast Neighborhood and have children that: attend local schools in Ward 4. 1 was not in favor of the changes proposed in the Bristol.--Sunflower-Plaza-MacArthur lock. For awareness, i try avoid Bristol 5t by taking Flower to Sunflower as much as possible or MacArthur Blvd to hear depending on the clay because it is already congested but most days, it isn't possible. When I learned of the $22,000,000 "gift" from the developers to the City of Santa Ana, 1 was shocked. It is my understandr`ng that Ward 4 witl be heavily impacted not only by r upcoming Construction but by the result of the belated project to bring apartment living and retail developments to the area of Bristol and MacArthur near S Plaza Dr. It, Is my feeling that those living in Word 4 would not support such an initiative except to improve tho existing retail space due to the heavy congestion we already experience can Bristol St especially from the 405 Bristol Exit and 55 Freeway exit of MacArthur all the way drawn to Fairview. In my grind, it would be; appropriate for the $22,000,000 giftty stay in Ward 4 tG benefit the residents that will be directly impacted by this change. Is there an oversight committee so up to review hew this money wit(be property allocated? With Ward 4 accoss to that fund ing, I'd like to niake the foticawing suggestions for your consideration: 9) Flower St from Sunflower to Warner, both sides of they street is very dark _ I'd llkce to suggest brighter street lights or double the lights tea tine this.part of Santo Ana that has 3 schools along it. 1 do not foot safe walking outside because it is so dark and becae.asre of tht; f[00d channel. We've had many neighborhood meetings about hovel unsafe; it is because of ilia poople that itleegatty camp theme. 2) Because there is traffic coming into the South Coast Nelghboorhood due to MacArthur Fundamental school, I'd like to suggest a bolter drop off/driven route`; along Flower St to mitig4jto intermediate school traffic. perhaps widen or add additional lances that could include bike lanes by covering up the flood channel. *The flood channel only seems to benefit the transients and trouble makersthat hide them;. Please do something about the flood channel that is next to our schools & children! It Is distrossful to know that they are in close proximity to minors. S) M8yl suggest hitting all the telephone poles along Flower St (from Sunflower to Warner) underground to make roam to widen the read T- if it is decided to widenthis hart of Flowesr, then hiding the telephone poles would support that initiative
