Traffic on Hwy 60 is already heavy. So is railroad activity. Air is

There is no way a facility such as the BNSF should be built
near residential communities as it will be. The infrastructure is
in no way capable of handling the additional traffic. This must
be stopped.

First I want to thank supervisor Debbie Lesko for all her hard
work.
I do not agree with the new BNSF project that wants to build in
Whitman. We moved into the Asante neighborhood onl y 12
months ago and the amount of traffic, especially trucks have
increased dramatically. The number of accidents have
increased as well some multiple car accidents causing roads to
be closed. The lack of outlet road especially near the 303/60
interchange is a concern and the amount of traffic both truck
and train is a concern.
Please do not vote to allow this project.

There seems to be no stopping this development. I feel
powerless to do anything. My quiet neighborhood is at the
mercy of the railroad . Progress is one thing but destruction of
the lifestyle of hundreds of people is a disgrace.
Thank you Debbie for your coverage. You did a great job in
Washington D.C. and you are continuing to do so now.

Strongly against BNSF Railway building a large railway project
in Wittman. The area has expanded way too quick. Traffic
needs to get under control first from Grand to Happy Valley all
roads they are all crowded already, and no one pays attention
to the rules of the roads (stop signs, speed limits, semis going
to residential street - including car carriers -.
I had an encounter with an individual along El Granda and
Jomax roads the other day. Someone in a white truck went
clear through and stop sign there doing 40-50 mph and all I did
was place my hands in the air and state there's clearly a stop
sign there. Next thing I know this individual is approaching me
driving backwards at a high rate of speed and stops right next
to me and starts yelling at me that he has lived here for over 15
yrs. and has no intention of ever stopping at that intersection.
This may be the person who has tore a up all the streets in
Rancho Cabrillo subdivision. Every cross street has burn out
marks. Sad to say called the sheriff to report this and was
forwarded to a deputy who stated he doesn't have time to deal
with this. Tell the County to pay him overtime and he will do his
best to get this under control.

Anyways this would cause more traffic and more headaches for
all those in the surrounding areas !!

The size of this proposed site is terrifying. It will impact
everything. The Air we breathe. The continuous noise we will
hear. The overpowering Traffic congestion. It will negatively
impact from 25 to 50 miles of Maricopa in at least 3 directions
of the compass. Please do everything you can to limit or restrict
this from happening.

I am a resident in Wittmann AZ and this rail hub would be a
disaster for our town. The US 60 is already jam packed full of
traffic with deteriorating roads adding that much construction
will make getting into the city of Surprise nearly impossible. Our
water source derives mainly from private wells, adding this hub
would cause a strain on local water sources, and possible
contamination to the ground water. Additionally, the noise and
vibrations from this hub would make living in Wittmann
unbearable. On top of noise/air pollution, strain on the well
water and traffic being an issue, emergency services are
already strained in the city of Surprise, adding this hub will
cause wait times for fire/EMS to increase dramatically. The
people of Wittmann have moved out here to get away from the
city, but the city is following us. Please do not allow this BNSF
rail hub to ruin the way of life for so many in this town. I am
opposed to the reasoning.

I am against the BNSF Project, as are a majority residents of
Sun City West, The Grand Sun City and those near Hwy 60.
Being a West side, and not on the East side, we get the
undesirable construction. Vote No.

In your message earlier this month, the number that stuck out
to me was 22,000 more vehicles per day. Data from 2023
shows 30.5K to 31.5K cars travel US 60 (Grand) in Surprise
today. The number is probably higher with all the new
commerce and residences..Using logical mathatics, if only 1/2
of the new traffic uses Grand, that is an icrease on Grand of
about 33%. Where does the other 1/2 go? Check out the trafffic
levels on Bell Road. Check out how many cars use R H
Johnson as a shortcut to get from Grand to Bell.This runs right
through Sun City West. R H Johnson is the main artery of
SCW.
I have just mentioned the volume issue, I am not smart enough
to determine the increase in pollution.
I drive from SCW to Dallas and back at least twice a year.
While on I-10 and I-20 I enjoy watching the trains loaded with
goods. I imagine how they came from Asia, loaded up in LA,
and make their way to the store shelves. What a great
infrastucture we have.
I know the railroads need maintenance and other functions, just
not close enough that I am impacted by its presence.
I vote no for any propositions that support BNSF

Thank-you,
Ed Michel

I have concerns about the railroad hub being proposed near
Sun City West. It is such a large facility that I am concerned
about air quality with all of the diesel trucks and trains. Also the
traffic. I have read that there will be 18,000,000 yards of
concrete in the facility and I can’t help but wonder what impact
that’s going to have on our heat island as well as water
drainage. I would appreciate a negative vote on bringing the
facility to our district. Thank you.

Please see that BNSF Intermodal Hub does not become a
reality. That property should remain rural and it's zoning should
remain as it is now. The infrastructure will not support the
increase in traffic. The people who live now and in the future
should have a good quality of life that this project will
completely fail that aim.

I am strongly opposed to BNSF Intermodal. Most of the
benificial benfits proposed by BNSF are smoke and mirrors.
this will add at least 2,200 trucks a day to the already bad traffic
on 301 & Grand/Hwy 60. Remember this is a Berkshire
Hathaway that is fully in controll, and has many influential
stockholders that have influence and a vested interest in this
happening that have no interest in the impact on the Valley Of
The Sun and the residents.
Hope you read this, but I fear your staff will just put a hash
mark on the opposed side of the spreadsheet.

The proposal to build a intermodal offof Grand Avenue and the 303 is a disaster waiƟng to happen. The traffic
will be horrible, and it will cause cars to use The Grand as a wok around. We will have to gate our community.
