Subject: Proposed new student housing
Thank you for the card announcing Cal Poly's plan to construct new student
housing units on Grand Avenue.
I currently reside at 1405 Slack St., approximately a quarter mile from the
proposed construction site. Two things:
1) Slack St., Carpenter St., Longview Lane and Grand Ave. are extraordinarily
busy and excessively noisy thoroughfares. I believe adding 1400 residents to
our already congested & overburdened residential neighborhood will only
worsen the problems and force the few remaining non - student residents to
flee. We're already contemplating that decision.
2) Cal Poly is fortunate to own over 4,000 contiguous and largely undeveloped
acres under and around the main campus. As was done with with Poly Canyon
Village (7 dorms and 2 parking structures!) I submit that suitable, if not
better sites can be located in the NW section of campus. Please be a good
and compassionate neighbor and consider alternate sites in the less congested
parts of campus.
