Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. As a resident of this neighborhood, my family strongly supports this project. When this project was approved our 4 year old son wasn't even born. I am excited for all the people that will benefit from the much needed curb ramps, crossing improvements, and street lighting. I know all those new families pushing strollers and pulling wagons will have a much easier time than we did. We have been anxiously waiting for these improvements with hopes that our son will someday be able to walk and ride himself to school. Without these improvements it would be unlikely we would ever let him ride through this corridor. It's still a couple years away before he will be capable of riding himself, but he is already excited and practicing his riding skills. As long as you approve the funding, our family will get to utilize the improvements on our way to taking our son to/from TK next year and maybe start our own neighborhood "bike bus" to school. I know that the cost for the project keeps climbing, which is unfortunate. All of us have experienced the high costs associated with supply chain issues and inflation. Hopefully in the future we can learn from this project, and find ways to deliver these sorts of improvements faster and on budget. I think we will have an opportunity to try on South Higuera and Foothill. Please improve the additional funding request to complete this project in its entirety. This is a necessary investment for our future generation, neighborhood, and community. 1 Garrett Otto Anholm Resident 2 I 1 �1 1� • i `4r� Ap.ft' _ s Atom 4 / _ - t • i+ w I . tt • Aw A •• M 1- Arm" _ �• _ .. .r -ol -.E c. c "• pp at�Q�, 11J c g1 � t \_.7 L _ . s +�► r •-i 7 a.- r_'� o or M
