Page 2 of 2 <br />improves safety of kids who are traveling to schools near valley /Santa Rita — there are 4 schools within about 1 mile of <br />Valley. By having another circulation route, this reduces traffic in these very congested areas. <br />We need to follow through on commitments we have made to our residents and other cities for many }rears. As <br />promised, we should be building SDE in concert with our related plans to build El Charro and Dublin Blvd over the next few <br />years. <br />Finally, extending Stoneride will not turn it into a freeway as some have claimed. In a worst case, the maximum <br />number of cars that can use SDE to bypass the freeway is about 1,000/hour at peak commute times) due to freeway on ramp <br />monitoring (1,000 is minimal compared to traffic levels our 4 lane arteries such as valley and Stoneridge were designed for. <br />Fast traffic study estimated 2,000/hour on Valley). This is minimal amount of cars for this roadway and will result in <br />reduced congestion in many others areas of the city that these cars now use. <br />In summary, please continue with plans to get St nerid.ge Drive built while others are willing to Pay and in <br />concert with other re ional plans for related. road. extensions such as 1 arro and. Dublin Blvd. We need. <br />improved. circulation to help ups get around. and Stnerid.ge has always been in the Plan to provide a <br />second east/west artery in addition to Valley. <br />Thank you. <br />Heidi Massie <br />4183 lull +fit <br />o9 <br />
