Hi there-
I am a resident of Mitchell Dr. and I am writing to express concerns about the South Broad Street area. There has been
increased traffic brought to the area as more housing and retail has been developed on the east side. It is virtually
impossible to make left turns onto Broad from the side streets at certain times of the day. There is also limited visibility
for cars, cyclists, and pedestrians due to parked cars along the curbs. Additional street light intersections would be
helpful and increase safety. There are a lot of families with young children who walk in our area and there is only one
safety crossing (across Broad Street) in the 1 mile stretch from South St. to Orcutt Road. That is a great addition, by the
way but only one step in the right direction.
I understand there are some unallocated funds to be discussed at the February 6 city council meeting. I encourage the
Council to consider allocating those funds toward implementing the already-adopted South Broad Street Area Plan to
increase safety in our area.
Thank you for your time and consideration and for your service on the Council!
-Katy
