I’m sure that any study will say that the intense traffic caused by the new development of ECCL will be detrimental to San Pablo Avenue and the surrounding residential streets. There is no way to mitigate this type of traffic especially when they have already approved the EBI private school across the street to have up to 400 students and 50 staff that has already intensified the traffic in the area. So, just using common sense, when you add the 400 private school kids (who are driven to school daily) and the 1600+ students and visitors per day at the ECCL site, at the peak time slots of 8 to 9AM and 3 to 5PM, we will be seeing a traffic quagmire on a daily basis. On top of it all, in addition to allowing neighboring sites so close to each other, each producing heavy traffic at peak periods, they have also allowed exceptions for parking requirements. ECCL will be allowed to have ½ the required parking spaces (they are even using street spaces to boost their numbers) and the private school of 450 was required to have only 27 parking spaces. When both of these projects are up and running and at capacity in about 4 years, you will find no parking on San Pablo Avenue (which will be detrimental to the already barely surviving storefronts) and virtually no available street parking for the surrounding residential streets and its’ residents. The city knows about this, but in my opinion, they don’t care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-62851984520598626732013-05-15T11:00:33.347-07:002013-05-15T11:00:33.347-07:00Thank you for your efforts to secure documents thr...Thank you for your efforts to secure documents through the California Public Records Act. <br /><br />To whatever extent the city and school district are allowed robust discussion behind closed doors, our need for a robust local press becomes even greater. Thanks for shedding light on the darkness in city hall and the school district.Will Lebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11895627795270965700noreply@blogger.com
