In addition to the inconvenience caused in my previous email email, a few drivers have mentioned that the existing
barrier is a potential danger in teh night. It is dangerous in the night especially if they are turning left from stelling into
mcclellan or turning right from stelling into mcclellan . A new driver to the area has to be particularly careful to ensure
they avoid the separation.
I request the city to kindly take the residents opinion into consideration before starting any work on this project. We
live on the street and have to face the reality of your decision everyday. We have an equal number of senior citizens
who live on the street and it it difficult for them to maneuver the planned barrier. They will not be able to attend the
city meeting because of technological challenges and social isolation will prevent them from attending in any other way.
This is a kind request.
Best regards,
Ram Sripathi

Hello City Council,
We received a letter in the mail regarding loss of parking on mcclellan road. This is a bad idea as it put visitors in great
risk and also risk to residents when backing out of their driveways. This feature or facility seem to create a great
inconvenience to the residents living on the street.
Im not sure if youve been on mcclellan during busy hour (non covid times). There is quite a risk posed to backing out.
Now with the divider the risk becomes more. Its possible there have been no fatal accidents but there have been many
near misses. Please ask any resident who lives on the street on their experience and how its become worse over the
years.
If we have to back into the drive way, even that poses a risk as we have to signal to the traffic behind that we want
some space. Please imagine how difficult it is with constant traffic.
Any repair person visiting the home or visitor (family and friends) will have to park their vehicle on a side street and
come over. They may even have to cross a street that is busy. Can you please consider these fact before coming to a
decision.
I'll speak to the folks on teh street and ask them to email you or attend teh city council meeting on 7/18.
Please treat this as a formal no or a complaint against taking this basic right away from teh residents. I hope you
understand the problems tax paying long term residents will face should their family and friends be inconvenienced.
