Hello:
Please consider updating the South Broad Street Area Plan. The plan was adopted by the Council in December 2014 yet
the changes to Broad Street have not been implemented.
We know there is an agenda item on the Mid-Year Budget update for the February 6 Council meeting. We also know
there are unallocated funds available. We ask that some of those funds to be allocated to update the 2014 plans and
implement the changes to Broad Street.
In the last decade, 355 housing units were added on Victoria, Orcutt Road was developed, and the airport was further
developed. Yet neglected Broad Street itself has been neglected, except for the addition of a pedestrian light at
Woodbridge after a pedestrian death.
When leaving physician offices on Aerovista, SESLOC, Damon Garcia Field, or the Marigold shopping center and all. other
businesses on the opposite side, we would not consider turning left onto Broad Street but travel to a traffic light in order
to make a U-turn. Given the location, that can be an inconvenience of several blocks.
Broad Street traffic is heavy, cars drive too fast and, at certain times during the day, it is dangerous. The Council has the
authority and opportunity to rectify this.
Sincerely,
Karen Morgan & Bob Wagoner
San Luis Obispo
