Subject: Luneta Dr.
Dear Mayor Marx and City Council Members,
I strongly request that the issue of opening Luneta Dr. be placed on the City Council's agenda.
I live with my family at Ramona Dr. and I oppose the opening of Luneta Dr. This is an important issue for myself and
many other residents. At least 100 residents have signed a petition to request that Luneta Dr. stay a closed street.
I have met with city staff at a meeting with 50 other neighbors to express my concerns and to listen to city staff reasons
for opening Luneta Dr. In my opinion, city staff were unable to justify the city's reasons for the street to be open. It was
explained that the main reason was that the opening of Luneta Dr. was part of a city plan written several decades ago,
and city staff do not have the authority to change that plan even if the majority, if not all, of those that live and use the
street oppose it.
I think having this issue on City Council's agenda will not only help bring clarity to the issue but also give my neighbors
and I a role in decision making that directly affects our quality of life and the wellness of our neighborhood.
Thank you,
Kit Gould
Ramona Dr.
