I would like my letter to be entered into the record and that receipt be confirmed. <br />My husband and I live on 2410 Spring Blvd. We have two children who walk or bike to school each day (usually around <br />8:30am and coming home between 3:30 and 5pm depending on afterschool activities). <br />Our main concern is safety with the increased traffic. We are already nervous currently as it is with current traffic, but with <br />30% more traffic we will want to find other ways for them to come home. Without buses on the hill and a two-parent <br />working family, this is not easy and it is simply not neighborhood friendly if our streets do not have safe ways for children <br />to come home. <br />I'd like to share this clip with you that my son filmed last year as I biked up the first blind curve on Spring Blvd below our <br />house. Note that the delivery truck coming up behind me is fully on the wrong side of the street as it passed me going into <br />the blind curve. We were lucky that no other car was coming the other way. The Subaru that followed also probably had a <br />limited view. This is a very common occurrence on Spring. <br />https://drive.google.com/file/d/OB7v4zT9QRyWIaXFkQOJsS01 OTmc/view?usp=sharing <br />1 also have had the experience several times on that same curve of hearing a car come up behind me to pass blindly <br />while another car was approaching down the hill unbeknownst to them, and having to wave to the cars to warn them of <br />the danger and slow down or stop until they could see each other. I cannot rely on my sons or any children to be so <br />proactive as I can be. <br />Thank you for your attention, <br />Keli Yerian and Robert Elliott <br />2410 Spring Blvd. Eugene OR 97403 <br />
