Subject : Prado Road Initiative
Auto forwarded by a Rul e
Dear Mayor and Council Members ,
It is clear to me that the Prado Road Initiative will strengthen th e
long term circulation of the southern area of town . The council lef t
room for four lanes for Santa Fe Road to join the eastern end of Prad o
Road with Tank Farm when approving the Margarita and Airport Are a
annexations . Santa Fe will be realigned down to Buckley Road, whic h
will be the southern circulator route, and Tank Farm, which is th e
industrial and commercial road, will become four lanes fro m
Broad Street to South Higuera .
I believe it is time to recognize the importance of the resource w e
have with the South Street Hills Open Space adjacent to the Damon -
Garcia Sports Field .
Now is the time to support the option to utilize the entire area as a
recreational jewel, including the important archeological grindin g
holes . Pedestrian and bicycle pathways should join the two parcels ,
which should not be separated by a four lane truck route .
It makes no sense to have a new four lane intersection at Broa d
Street, between Capitolio, which will be signalized, and the signal a t
Industrial Way . The circulation element is woefully out of date, bu t
you have the opportunity now to support better long term planning .
I urge you to adopt the Initiative outright and direct staff to full y
utilize the then abandoned right of way for enhanced recreation . Th e
city's long term circulation plan will be improved and the language o f
the original purchase of the Damon-Garcia property for recreation wit h
be honored .
Sincerely ,
Christine Mulhollan d
