Dear Mayor and City Council Members.
We join the many concerned citizens who have contacted you recently about the safety of Broad Street between Orcutt
and Sounth/Santa Barbara Streets intersections. We own a residence on Lawrence and Jackie serves as President of the
Moylan Terrace HOA (80 homes). There is much community concern about safe left and right turns on to and off Broad,
as well as the unpleasant experience of being a pedestrian on Broad. It is almost impossible to cross Broad on foot or by
bike between Orcutt and Woodbridge.
In the short run, It is imperative to integrate traffic calming measures to slow speeds and enable safe crossings and
traffic movements. In the longer run, there are opportunities to make Broad not only safer but more beautiful as a
gateway into SLO from the airport area.
We look forward to joining concerned citizens at the Council meeting tonight.
Thank you
Jackie and Ben Parker
