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
