<div><p>The ERC, EIR and CEQA (state) are all about environmental quality issues and impacts. Traffic impacts become Air Quality Impacts when motorists are stalled with their engines running creating a toxic stew of exhaust fumes. This then becomes quality of life issues if you have breathing problems.</p><p>The choked intersection of Linden and Dorrance creates a traffic jam on weekends, holidays and all summer. Traffic with pedestrians on Linden in front of The Spot on one side and Tomol Park on other side has cars stalled down lower Linden past 3rd Street sometimes almost to Sandyland also blocking street parking by the Linden green. Most with their engines running. Creating air pollution that most would not want.</p><p>This is the current situation. Now imagine adding a 36-room hotel with a rooftop bar on one side of the railroad tracks and on the other a 93-spot parking lot to this traffic congestion headache we already have. This is a very high-density residential neighborhood that experiences traffic and parking issues already.</p><p>It’s easy to be judgmental with your fellow Carpinterians if you don’t live off lower Linden and have to experience this traffic with crazy illegal parking. And breathe in all the exhaust. Please consider your friends and fellow workers over here. If this parking lot and development was happening in your neighborhood we would step up to help you too. Let’s all keep Carpinteria cool, classic and the small beach town that we love and protect dearly.</p></div>
