Subject: Mosque Main Street, Corona
Hello, Mr. Dalde
Every day, myself and several seniors and other community walkers, use main street to access the Walgreens Chase bank, etc. My group specifically do not drive.
On this morning’s walk, I noticed the huge sign from the city of Corona, announcing a meeting on March 10 regarding the possible placement of a mosque on Main Street. I know you know where I’m talking about.
I know you are familiar, there is already a mosque at 465 Santana, which is maybe at the most, two blocks, away from where this new site wants to be built.
Never mind the community members walking, but this Mosque, would be across from the Lee Pollard School, where there are kids going up and down that sidewalk, also every day. A lot of them use scooters, but we have to share that sidewalk with them too. If we happen to be out during the time they’re going to school or being discharged from school.
How are you going to secure or how are you going to provide safety, to the walkers that use that sidewalk, when you’ve got people pulling in and out of a parking lot, associated with that mosque? I wonder if you’ve notified the neighbors in the two-story homes, directly behind that property? If it wasn’t for my walk, I wouldn’t have known about it and neither with my neighbors. They know now.
We will not be attending the meeting.
Have you posted this information on the city’s website? A couple of years ago that same site was being excavated or at least cleaned up around the ranch style building that has remained there. That building was repainted. Someone from the city sent us or came to our building and passed out information sheets about that particular piece of property. We will find it in our files. It never mentioned anything about building a mosque there in the future.
You would be wise not to ignore the seniors in the city, many of us to have a couple of college degrees, and we’ve also paid taxes to this city.
I would appreciate a response from you
Thank you
Reba Lowe
