District has major concerns with the site approval application <br /> ,I PA-02-237, which will add a lumber wholesale and storage facility with access to <br /> '!Waterloo • Road/Highway 88 at Fairchild. This facility will greatly increase t h e { <br /> �1 number of tractor/trailers attempting a left-hand turn onto Highway 88, which i s <br /> 1 <br /> !!already a very. difficult maneuver. Current large truck traffic from the Fairchild <br /> !area has developed an alternate route to South 99, using Alpine Road to Highway 26. <br /> These large trucks on Alpine Road pass directly in front of Glenwood School, at speeds <br /> i,greatly in excess of the posted school zone speed limits. <br /> j <br /> Fairchild Road is utilized daily by Linden Unified school buses, and is a major artery <br /> fl.for access to Waverly School. Our buses also experience long delays attempting to <br /> turn left on Waterloo Road/Highway 88 out of Fairchild, due to the heavy traffic i n <br /> i both directions. We believe a condition of approval of this Site Approval Application <br /> must be the installation of traffic lights at Fairchild and Waterloo Road. The existence <br /> 11of traffic lights at this corner would encourage trucks to access Highway 99 from <br /> !'Waterloo Road, and eliminate or reduce the .hazard we are experiencing on Alpine <br /> Road present time. <br /> Incer 1 , <br /> Ro ald J. tes, Superintendent <br /> en los e <br /> Cc: Municipal Advisory Committee <br /> Board of Supervisors <br />
