Regards, Leo and Peggy Dewinter 35 los verdes drive San luis obispo, Calif 93401 1 San Luis Obispo March 28 2025 To Whom it may concern, My name is Leo Dewinter. My wife and I reside at 35 Los Verdes Drive located in the Los Verdes Park 1 development along Los Osos valley road. I would like to address the council on two new developments scheduled to be built in the coming years alongside Los Verdes park 1 and two. The first development is for a development of 55 and older adults for 209 studio 1.2 and 3 bedroom apartments. The second development to follow along Los Verdes park 2 would add and additional 200 apartments to the mix. This will add at least 400 vehicles but more likely 600 or more vehicles trying to turn on to Los Osos valley road at any given time. With all the development going on along Buckley road and other parts of the city, traffic along Los Osos valley road is already causing big traffic jams making it almost impossible at times to exit either park. While the developer is attempting to alleviate this problem to some extent by the proposal to build a bypass road around Los Verdes park 2 and add a stop light on Los Osos valley road, this does not address to serious increase in traffic on Los Osos valley road. A quick look at the map, you will see from Higuera to Calle Joaquin ( .5 miles) there will be 5 stop lights that all this traffic will have to traverse. In addition to all this, you have the off ramp from highway 101 to deal with. All this traffic will have to make it’s way mainly in the direction of the major shopping centers as well as Higuera street. While we understand the desire of the developer to develop the two projects, I would ask the council to review the scope of the two Broadstone projects and perhaps scale back the total number of apartments to be built on these two projects or look for alternate solutions. We truly fail to see how these two developments, as presently proposed ,are in any way going to alleviate an already serious traffic congestion issue for the city of San Luis Obispo and it’s residents.
