Brian Leveille,
I am writing to express my support of the proposed Central Coast Layover Facility.
We have owned 2013 Swazey St in SLO since 1999 and lived there between 1999 and 2012 so we have a lot of
experience with the trains. Currently, our property at Swazey has six people living there including five adults and one
child.
The Amtrak train currently overnights 26 meters away from the rear units. The negative environmental effects from
noise and pollution on that property can be significant depending which way the wind is blowing and how late the train
is being maintained.
I realize that simply moving the train only moves the problems to somebody else hover, upon looking at the site plan, it
appears that the nearest residences would be significantly further away from any parked trains and the prevailing wind
direction is such that pollution being emitted from the trains would blow almost directly down the tracks and have a lot
of time to dissipate instead of crossing a significant portion of our neighborhood in a concentrated state.
For these reasons, I support the project and would encourage you to ensure the EIR takes the existing neighborhoods on
both ends of this project into consideration.
Feel free to contact me if you need any clarification.
