Dear Planning Commission:
I am writing to comment on the proposed changes you want to make in the Grand Ave/17th Street Focus Area.
There is already a lot of traffic on Grand Avenue based on the access points to Insterstate 5 and CA 22 as well as
close proximity to CA 55. There are already a number of large apartments complexes on and adjacent to Grand
Avenue north of 17th Street. As well as a number of duplexes on Jacaranda. An increase in the number of dwellings
will only make things more congested and reduce the quality of life in this area.
While there are wide open spaces in the area, these are cemeteries and not parks. There is only one park that is in the
immediate area, Portola Park. Instead of building more apartment complexes, please consider creating more safe
open spaces. The park that is north of CA 22 isn't the safest area and attracts criminals, drug addicts, alcoholics and
other nefarious activities.
Please do not ruin the Grand Ave/17th Street Focus Area by building more apartment complexes which will
increase traffic and noise and more and more people.
Respectfully,
Craig Fromm
