Subject: 22 Chorro
Frankly, I don't understand how the City gets away with saying the intersection at Chorro and
Foothill, the site of the proposed development, is not a problem to public safety. No recent
study has been done on the site, nor one mindful of the development. Anyone who uses this
intersection and residential/commercial corridor today, which I do frequently --for commercial
purposes --cannot help but see that the intersection is already very congested and configured in
an odd way.
To my recollection (I was on LUCE-TF), LUCE anticipated development on the north side of
Foothill, not the south side, and so the traffic situation on the south side was not looked at in
any development -focused way. To my knowledge, that remains true.
This issue needs to go back to Planning Commission for analysis of the traffic problems posed
by the development. Sending it back to Planning Commission with direction to study traffic
impacts of the development would, I'm certain, be consistent with LUCE and current state law.
