This letter is to further follow up and emphasize the strong desire by the City of Chico to have this project conditioned so in the event of issues arising, the route modifications spelled out in my previous letter can be made to mitigate these issues. In addition it is my request that the City be compensated with traffic impact fees to maintain these roads as a result of wear from the additional truck traffic. As before, I would like this letter included in the public record for this project. If you need additional information or would like to discuss this matter further, please contact me at 345-5442.

Concerns were raised associated with the proposed route the gravel trucks would take through the City, particularly the Walnut and East 9' Street sections of State Route 32. These streets pass through older residential neighborhoods where houses front onto the street and have, in many cases, fairly shallow front yards. These streets already experience heavy traffic congestion but are also heavily used by pedestrians and bicyclists. The concerns expressed include bicycle and pedestrian safety, the daily intensity and duration of truck traffic, noise and vibration from the gravel trucks, damage to the City's infrastructure, and maintenance issues associated with the clean-up of gravel that spills onto City streets. Certainly if this route is ultimately chosen, the City will want to pursue appropriate mitigations, including impact fee compensation. The City is requesting your assistance in reducing the potential impacts to City streets by establishing an " J alternate route for the gravel trucks. One suggestion would be a route from Chico River Road to River Road to State Route 32 to East Avenue and eventually to State Route 99 as shown, on the attached map. The advantage of this established truck route is that East Avenue is located in a predominately commercial area and the road design is better suited to accommodating heavy truck traffic in combination with vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle users. We appreciate your consideration of our concerns in your deliberations and ultimate decision regarding the M & T Ranch Mine.
