conversation about the locking mechanisms on the doors have come up and most restrooms in public parks do have those locking mechanisms on them, people still find a way to vandalize them so it only increases the cost of maintenance and the long -term cost for maintaining that facility or making it usable for the residents so I have a problem with the restroom facility, and that's all I have. Nancy Mullins: Hi, I'm Nancy Mullins. I live at = Yosemite Court North and I have a day care there. As somebody who spends a lot of time at the park, I definitely want the restroom. There's also, we talked about before having a tot park there for the littler kids. The playground there is mostly I think for 12 and up and so it's really dangerous for the little kids. There are like three openings up there and it's pretty dangerous. I don't let my kids go up there because it's just not safe. The other thing is, you know, the walkway from one end of the park to the other is pretty decent now, so if you make it wider you're just going to take away more of our green space. I think when you talk about Lassen and having the entrance there, I think there's like three streets there so that's going to be a big traffic jam and then you guys have to think about the lights. The lights for people taking their kids to school in the mornings, they never change so people are having to leave school 20 minutes early to get their kids to school on time, so that's a really big problem, and now with at least every one of those houses, they're going to have at least two cars, so that's another 70 something cars coming into the neighborhood. Marta Saida: Hi. My name is Marta Saida. I live at = South Valley Trails. I am sort of between the.... Valley Trails is a horseshoe street. I'm kind of midway and closer to Hopyard. My concern is that currently we have a traffic situation on Valley Trails. There are cars speeding from deep into the neighborhood. I've seen one car probably go about 50 mph. I've called the police about this in the past and nothing has happened. So my question is, what traffic calming procedures or devices have you actually studied for traffic impacts in our neighborhood especially from the neighbors up at the top closer to Hopyard? My concern as mentioned before, is this is going to cause, potentially 77 cars volume -wise to come in and I've already had one of my cats run over due to a speeding car. I would like to see traffic studies be done or some kind of an assessment of what the current situation is in the neighborhood. Connie Cox: Hi. I'm Connie Cox. So usually what I do is I kind of summarize. I've taken notes and I have some concerns and questions of things that were said, so it's clarification. We have been working with Ponderosa for two years and we are excited that this project is close, but in order to get rezoned, the neighborhood wants to have a benefit from it, and the neighbors are the ones who have asked for the bathrooms and the clubhouse. What many people don't realize and you may not —how many of you have walked Valley Trails Park? Okay, cool, so since the Dolores Bengston days when she was park, I've been dealing with the issue that we have a long linear park. I've been told since 1989 that the City would never build it again because of the difficulty in maintenance, etc., etc., etc. But if you imagine that you live up here on Crater Lake Court and you need to go to the bathroom and you're down here or you have a toddler, this is a long ways to go. What we have now is kids going in the bushes, etc. So we don't want that. We want the clubhouse and we want the bathrooms. Up until tonight, thought the bathrooms were going to be open until 8:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. like the sports park. That's what we've talked about where the automatically lock.
