SUBJECT:  Vallco EIR Scoping Comments – impacts on AIR QUALITY (more)
 
Homes along I-280 and CA-85 are constantly showered with black particles from the freeway.  This material covers outside furniture, the ground, our gardens.  The wind blows it into our homes to become black dust in our house.  We breathe it whether we’re inside or outside.  As the traffic has increased over the years, this material has increased.  Some say it’s particles from the tires.  Others say it’s exhaust particles.  Whatever it is, we live and breathe it everyday and it is getting worse!  It cannot be healthy to breathe this stuff.
 
Please study the impacts of the increased traffic as a result of the 2 million square feet of office, 800 housing units, on top of all current and proposed projects in Santa Clara County on our air quality throughout the city and neighboring cities.
 
Please study particles from car tires and exhaust as a result of the impact of this increased traffic.
 
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
