I am writing to you regarding an important topic that was in your plan to vote on today!
It is the subject of the unneeded potential bridge at So . Palm Canyon and Bogert Trail
The people who live in my Andreas Hills neighborhood were not made aware of what 1s being planned !
Those of us who live close to So. Palm Canyon would be the most affected by the long construction process I
There have been positive changes that were done to improve the area for when there are days with excess water !
I have owned my home and have lived on Bogert Trail for 25 years1 Except for one year, we have not had a flood
problem!
It is VERY IMPORTANT for us to PROTECT the local natural environment and the special animals who live in this area!
If the city wants to use a huge amount of money to make so called improvements. There are many other more important
problems in the city that money should be spent on !!1 It would be also helpful to those of us who live on Bogert Trail
for something to be done about the speeding traffic which 1s very dangerous !!

Dear Mr Mayor and City Council Members,
I live in the neighborhood off Bogart Trail that will be directly impacted by the proposed bridge project on S. Palm
Canyon. I attended last night’s city council meeting and wanted to share my thoughts on this issue:
1.This is a public safety issue that has been delayed for various reasons for years.
2.This will improve the city’s infrastructure and future-proof residents safety for decades to come.
3.Oswit Trust has done amazing work protecting and preserving land and wildlife in the area. This area - because
of the work of Oswit - is more popular than ever with residents to explore and hike S. Lykken Trail.
5.The Aqua Caliente Band of Cahuilla’s Indians will be impacted and support this project. In fact, this is the
gateway to one of the most popular destinations for local and out of town visitors as they have to pass through to get
to the Indian Canyons.
6.This project will impact 700+ homes in the area… but it is important to note that this part of the city gets a
significant amount of vehicle, walking and biking traffic as thousands of people visit the area for the views and the
many trailheads in the area.
This project directly aligns with the city’s strategic vision to protect residents and visitors, build a stronger and more
sustainable infrastructure and do our best to protect our lands, too.
Thank you for your service.
Sincerely,
William Brand
