Please do not open attachments or click links from an unknown or <br />suspicious origin. o5xro-i <br />Dear Council Members, <br />I urge you to reject the Council's 2017 decision to amend the General Plan so as to allow the Harbor View <br />project. Why? <br />I am deeply concerned about: <br />• the impact on traffic. The intersection of 101 and Woodside Road is ALREADY awful at key times. <br />Today as I drove on Woodside Rd from the YMCA at 8:30 AM, the traffic was backed up event before <br />the 82 overpass. This proposal, if implemented, would mean this bad situation would become terrible. <br />The proposed ways to deal with the increased traffic - if this project is accepted - are not enough. <br />• the impact on air pollution. Residents will likely not work in the same area as they live and access to <br />train will be difficult. With traffic worsening, in commuter time periods, even if someone desired to use <br />Cal Train, it would take 20-40 minutes to reach the station. <br />• additional housing should be placed near mass transit - preferably within a half mile of the Cal Trains <br />station which also serves as a bus hub and gives easy access to groceries and eateries. This kind of <br />housing would not be nearly as like to increase traffic congestion and worsen air quality. <br />• Our Planning Commission already rejected this proposal because of it will induce or increase gridlock <br />and will NOT contribute to affordable housing <br />• Development on the site needs to be done withIN the General Plan. <br />Please don't let commercial developers sweet talk you into what will harm our quality of lives and the ability of <br />the young people and other worker to live here. <br />Carol L.
