unfortunately, the number of drivers who use the taming lane on Hwy 89/12 from Brandt Rd east to Wcoobrd enter as a traffic lane with no regard for safety. The CHP who serve this area are very responsive to service calls but do not have assigned officers for proactive policing in our area An Indirect consequence of Increased traffic along Hwy 88/12 near or at Locke Rd is that locals and commuters "bypass" the congestion by taking alternate mutes to and from Lockeford using Iully, Hammond, lack Tone, lack Tone Bypass and Kettleman Roads thereby Increasing traffic In residential neighhorhoodc Hwy 88/12 also sees its share of commuter and recreational travelers from adjacent Ani and Calaveras counties on a regular basis. Regarding the Hwy 12/Tretheway Antersomon in addition of having a lent way aR excessive speed observed over the 55mph limit. Regarding bicycle It Recently, on behalf of the MAC, I attended at Zoom meeting hosted by Coffers about the updating of the Bicycle Master Plan. The proposed extension of the bicycle route on Hwy 12/88 from Brandt Rd_ east through Lodeford and eventual connection with Victor Rd/Hwy 12 is targeted for construction In the next 5 years. Any vehicle traffic from the project would travel east and west adjacent to these bleycle lanes. Regarding the increase In local traffic due to business: The proposed 24 employees ending their daily shift at RPM could easily create an impact on afternoon traffic congestion. What about most breaks off site? What about the type and size of the 10 delivery truck vehicles holy? Would they be 18 wheel freight, van, box truck, armored vehicles? Does this include internal business traffic such as moving cash onto the site for payday, state and county on site viou, etc? Indirect Impazts are more focused on quality of life and sense of small town security for the town of Lockeford. Comments voiced by some residents are of the decline of "reputation" and increase In non family oriented whoiesome community activity. Would ltlmpact property values? There are those few who would benefit from employ en[ hot he number is notsubstantial. Additionally, it appears that expenses would definitely ott rod many county departments for cannabis business_ staff and time for tax collection (In cashlr sheriffs office background checks and files, agriculture oversight to name a few. Would income offset expenses? If there were tax revenue, how would It benefit the community of Lockeford? schools? law enforcement?County general fund? In summary the MAC sees a number of unknowns In this large scale, first of a kind cannabis proposal. The rumors and uniformed and casual comments are no fault of local residents. The Lockeford community should be afforded the opportunity to make educated comments antl recommendations after public notice and danfication of these environmental impacts. Thank you for allowing us to voice our concerns as representatives of the residents of Lockeford. We would appreciate if you take them Into consideration With kind regards, fzne�lc Patti Stetson, 2020 2021 Chairperson Lockeford MAC Cc: Chuck Winn, San Joaquin County Supervisor, District R Lockeford MAC
