Subject:1377 Garey Avenue
I am requesting to appeal the proposed project at 1377 Garey Avenue.
As the liaison between the City and the Pomona Unified School District, I feel a deep responsibility to speak up for the safety and well- being of our children and families.
This proposed project raises serious concerns, especially around traffic, parking, and student safety during drop-off and pick-up times along Jefferson Street and Gordon Drive. To my knowledge, a full traffic study has not been completed to fully understand the impact this project could have on traffic flow, pedestrian safety, or parking in the area.
Just a few weeks ago, another PUSD student was tragically struck by a vehicle near a different school site. That heartbreaking event serves as a painful reminder of what’s at stake. We cannot wait for another tragedy to happen before taking action. Our children’s safety must always come first and the impact this will have on our residents.
I am also concerned about the proximity of this high-density development to the school playground and campus perimeter. This development would place dozens of residential units immediately adjacent to where children gather daily. The inadequate parking will create constant foot traffic from residents seeking street parking, making it exponentially more difficult to monitor who is near campus and maintain the secure perimeter our schools need. As someone who loves this community and has dedicated my life to serving its families, I share their fears.
Our children and families deserve safe streets, calm neighborhoods, and schools where parents can feel at ease knowing their kids are protected.
In light of these ongoing concerns, I strongly believe it is in the best interest of our community to revisit this project until every safety issue has been carefully studied and addressed.
