COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I am a 16 year resident of the Rolling Hills neighborhood. I grew up SLO, went to school at Cal Poly, and
now work as an engineer at a manufacturing company in SLO. After reviewing the proposals for the Avila
Ranch Development Project, I have to express concerns with this project. I know it appears smallminded
to only speak of this project's effect on my neighborhood, but I have serious concerns over this project's
effect on the traffic on Highway 227. Presently, turning left out of Crestmont onto Highway 227 is a
dangerous affair, thick traffic during many hours of the day makes opportunities to turn rare and often
tighter than one would like. Myself and many others have had close calls just trying to get into town
from where we live. This project has the possibility of making this problem worse, which puts the lives of
myself and my neighbors at greater risk. Until this problem can be acknowledged and addressed, I don't
think this development should be approved.
Best,
Niels Smidth
