Subject: I am very against the Condo/Apt Proposed Project at Ford & Bonita
Canyon
Dear Mr. Zdeba:
I have been a resident of Newport Beach for over 20 years & a Port Street Resident for 7 years. I
am very opposed to the proposed construction project at Ford Road/Bonita Canyon Sports Park.
I walk my dog down that street and through the park EVERY SINGLE DAY. The traffic is very
heavy & I intentionally leave early, between 6-6:30am to avoid traffic. I have seen several
pedestrians and children on bikes hit trying to cross at various intersections, especially the main
exit onto Culver. People are in a rush to get to work or get children to school and with the
already heavy traffic it creates a hug bottleneck especially true 7:30am-9am.
Children going to CDM HS walk, bike, scooter & skateboard through the park at the corner
daily. This area is high traffic with very low visibility. I can’t imagine more congestion and
more cars and traffic..It will only result in more accidents and children injured. We moved to the
Port Streets because of the proximity to CDM and the ability of children to walk/bike
independently. I can’t believe the NB Planning Commission would consider this project. It will
be a detriment to the park and to the neighborhoods surrounding it. I would also mention many
elderly people go in and out of the park in the early am to play pickleball, it would put them at
risk as well.
I urge you to not approve this project for the welfare of our community, especially the students
and the elderly.
Thank you for your consideration.
