There are SO SO many problems with his proposed development!!
PLEASE do not allow this to pass!! Think of us loyal Newport Neighbors that have lived in this city for 40
years.. YES, my family has been here that long!!
This is just NOT safe and NOT a good idea. We want to have some OPEN SPACE left in this area, and NOT
alot of Hazards and Safety Concerns!!
To start with, right at the entrance to the park is the project’s hazardous design. The exit/entrance has cars
exiting from the underground parking garage, up a ramp with extremely limited visibility. The plan is
dangerous to pedestrians, bikers and children accessing the bike lanes or sidewalk at that particular entrance at
the end of the ramp. The building is within a couple feet of the sidewalk and the 3-stories will tower over the
park where our kids are playing. This is a primary pedestrian sidewalk and bicycle route for the kids going to
and from CDM/OLQA. The city park will surely be used by the over 25+ parking places that the project lacks.
Going from the city park lot though the pool area will cut the distance in half to the elevators compared to even
the closet street parking making option too tempting for tenants and moving vans that will not fit on the
property. Delivery trucks (which already have limited visibility) must exit backwards, while going uphill, in an
almost 90-degree turn, and over the sidewalk and bike path! Once on Ford Road, trucks will be facing in the
wrong direction, and then will have to maneuver perhaps up to 4 times to reach a 180-degree direction. This is
even harder to do as the radius to the park entrance is greatly reduced when cars are parked on the Ford Road.
This will be dangerous to children accessing the park via the sidewalk and unsuspecting bikes on the bike
path. This is ALL Wrong!!
Please listen to the people of this Neighborhood!!
