An increase of residences, construction, maintenance, deliveries and any other person that is summoned to this facility causes more traffic hazards hands down to an already congested location for public use of the sports parks and recreational parks. Not to mention the people walking along side the traffic. The end of Ford Road where this proposed residence wants to be located is already crushed with traffic for public use. Besides the revolving traffic issues and hazards we currently have, it doesn't include the excessive back up of cars on all the intersections nearby during rush hour for work and school. Not to mention the amount of trash that will be left behind in the environment, I'm constantly picking up trash during walks and have been for years. Not including the increased air pollution and smell and noise of construction vehicles during the exhausting process of building. Even when construction is done, there will be an increase of vehicles that cause air pollution, excessive vehicle noise and exhaust from residents, deliveries, moving trucks, maintenance vehicles, etc. Currently we experience an excessive amount of traffic for the parks and sports fields all during the week and heavily on the weekends. The additional visitors park illegally, drive erratically, and double park causing hazardous conditions for other cars and all people, residents and children walking along Ford Road. Not to mention the trash they leave behind. Additionally, the traffic and congestion that we experience daily for exiting and entering neighborhood is horrible and backed up every morning and afternoon. The traffic also includes all communities that use the Pavilions for their groceries and the shops in the center. The increased vehicle smells can be downright awful from all the cars and maintenance vehicles sitting and waiting for their turn at the light. Not to mention those not paying attention and causing hazardous conditions for people walking along Ford road and other drivers. Adding an additional housing community adds more people and more cars that will create additional hazardous conditions to our traffic and environment and include - but not limited to:  air pollution  more vehicle noise  more light noise  more delivery truck noise  more parking congestion  more traffic confusion and congestion  more people to leave trash in our parks, streets and walkways  more emergency vehicle traffic/noise  air conditioning noise  more maintenance vehicle noise and congestion  more hazardous drivers for people walking, exercising, sports, and enjoying their children at the parks to be cautious of  more double parking  more vehicle exhaust  more noise from vehicles playing loud music  more noise from any parties or events at the proposed facility  more moving truck noise  Increased yard maintenance noise (lawnmowers, leaf blowers, weed wackers, chainsaws etc)  more barking dogs  more dog feces left behind from forgetful owners  more traffic congestion along all of Ford Road, Ford Road/Mesa View Drive intersection, Ford Road/Prairie Road intersection and McCarthur/Bonita Canyon intersection. The 4302 Ford Road Housing Project is not an ideal location to add more human and vehicle traffic and environmental congestion to a location that already receives thousands of public visitors for sports events, recreational activities and park parties. We already have hazardous traffic conditions with what we currently have and it doesn't need more. This project would be perfect for a run down part of the city that needs to be rehabilitated to improve our city, not tear down trees and natural habitats for current animals and ugly up the little nature we have. Please. The concerns for hazards, congestion and our environment is similar to the OCMA Property concerns and should be treated similarly. We don't look after our environment as much as we should and we NEED to take more action to feed our environment with nature not with more building materials, trash, people, and air pollution. Signed from a very concerned resident who wants to keep more natural environments and habitats for our earth that feeds our bodies. Danielle Anderson DannieRae Photography www.dannieraephotography.com
