Subject: A&M BBQ - Eleanor Ave has bigger problems
Hello,
I have been made aware of the recent discovery of air pollution by A&M BBQ. As the closest neighbor in proximity to A&M on Eleanor Ave, I would like to throw my support to A&M.
They are a small business that has been respectful and I don’t mind the smell of brisket.
Within the town of Sebastopol there are larger problems, such as the fixing and purifying our city water (reported last year highest arsenic levels in Sonoma County).
Or within the Eleanor Ave neighborhood fixing the fence along Joe Rodota trail. Having a fence on the Walker Ave side to stop residence/friends/guest of the apartments creating trails on neighbors properties.
Additionally an Ambulance, a fire truck, and a garbage truck cannot fit down the Walker Ave side of the neighborhood due to cars from the Petaluma Avenue apartments. Please redistrict that side of the street to only allow for 3 hour parking, with day passes to the 2 residents that live on that side.
Please come any Wednesday and see how the garbage truck cannot fit down the street due to the cars.
These are physical safety issues listed above that have bigger impacts, have been neglected, and would rather see them addressed over attempts to shut down a bbq.
