- Graham Street already congested at peak periods
- Congestion will be worsened by:
- Marine View gym (in progress)
- Parkside (proposed)
- Hearthside/Fieldstone (proposed)
- Circulation Alternative B needed to reduce the additional burden on
Graham Street!

|
- The EIR proposes left-turn median striping to mitigate Graham congestion
- But drivers are already using a de-facto left-turn median of their own
creation
- So painting some extra lines in the middle of Graham won’t change
anything!
- How about conditioning for a traffic signal at Graham & Glenstone
instead?
|

|
- Moderate traffic noise already from cars “punching it” on northbound
Graham to get over the Wintersburg bridge
- A signal at Parkside will cause the same kind of noise for southbound
Graham
- The EIR only discusses CNEL generalities without mentioning this traffic
noise!
- CNEL inaccurate due to stale traffic study
|
|
5
|
- Backups caused by the Parkside signal will create left turn delays when
exiting Kenilworth onto northbound Graham
- Southbound cars waiting at the signal will cause dangerous visibility
problems
- “Keep Intersection Clear” striping won’t solve the visibility problem

|
- Warner Ave data collected in 1994 and 1996
- Graham Street data collected in 1996
- Traffic counts that are 6-8 years stale do not accurately represent
current traffic levels!
- Some projected counts are dubious…

- Slater Pump Station building permit and throttle-backs
- Water quality impact of increased pumping
- Shifting the flood risk
- Fire station response times
- Storm drain odors
- Bolsa-Fairview earthquake fault

- Invalid maps at study sessions
- Missing sections from final EIR
- Egregious typos (“4 miles to Marine View”)
- Half-baked fire response testing
- Stale, fantasy traffic data
- Botched staff report distribution
- Staff in denial regarding County permit requirements for Slater Pump
Station

|
- Too many negative impacts on existing neighborhoods
- Too many omitted impacts and non-mitigations in the very deficient EIR
- A failure of vision not in keeping with the forward-looking city that
Huntington Beach ought to be!
