Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council
:
Attached is a letter from a former neighbor of ours on Stanford Drive whose family lived there for many years. His
concern regarding safety is genuine, and you will note from the content of the letter that his wife experienced a
frightening situation for her little boy´s safety. Too often the matter of safety is underestimated until an accident of
serious nature happens. Too often changes are made after the fact, echoing concerns raised before the fact. We ask the
Council to take the effort to personally observe and evaluate the road and its limitations, as Ms. Dandekar did when
making judgment on this project within her role on the Planning Commission.
Residents of Stanford Drive do not feel the City report gives a fair picture of the potential impact in terms of safety of
the Westmont project. A true picture of the road´s excessive traffic is only measurable once the Cal Poly students return
in numbers, compounded by the numbers of their vehicles ( including electric scooters and motor bikes ).Thank you for
your independent judgment and consideration. Respectfully, Genevieve Czech, Stanford Drive---------- Forwarded

To whom it may concern,
want to call to your attention to an event that occurred in 2007, on Stanford Drive in
San Luis Obispo. I lived at 599 Stanford Drive in 2007 with my wife and two children. Upon
returning home from work my wife told my that a young man was driving from upper Stanford,
toward Highland and he lost control negotiating the curve in the road. He drove up the curb,
into the parkway, on the sidewalk, and struck a tree directly in front of our house. My wife and
son had just been on that sidewalk, under that tree, my son riding a tricycle. The young man
panicked, drove off, then returned shortly to apologize and offer to pay for any damage to the
tree and parkway plants. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
no longer live on Stanford drive. But fifteen miles per hour was the standard speed, for
that road. It was narrow, with a restricted view due to the trees and the curve in the road. If
two large trucks or SUVs came down the street at the same time, there was not much room for
anything else. Stanford Drive is a narrow, slow driving street, not intended for sustained thru
traffic. I was shocked to hear it was being considered for more traffic. I think this is a mistake.
Please consider an alternative route for the safety of the people that live there.
Thank you,
Matt Lodge
