Dear Todd:
Per Commissioner Suarez' request, please read the below statement into the record at the time the above -
referenced items are addressed:
PH. 10 and PH.11 are resolutions in support of traffic flow modifications in the neighborhood of Pastorita for
the installation of a traffic circle and speed table, respectively. Since 2009, I have been working with Pastorita
to create a comprehensive traffic plan for the neighborhood. While the process has been frustrating in obtaining
County approval, I am thankful that we finally obtained the County's approval on the plan and are ready to
move forward. With respect to the subject intersections, the neighbors have obtained a supermajority of
concurrence from the block. However, one neighbor at one intersection objects to the traffic circle while another
neighbor at the second intersection objects to the speed table, both citing the removal of on -street parking as the
reason for their objection. The rest of the Pastorita neighborhood is anxious to proceed with the traffic calming
plan. For this reason, I deemed it was in the best interest of the neighborhood to pass these resolutions and seek
the County's approval for the traffic circle and speed table despite the two neighbors' objection to same.
Thank you,
Melissa Fernandez-Stiers
