Save the Trees and Clean Air on the California Coastal Trail

Tamara Donohoe

The trees that line the road are that of a nature reserve that is enjoyed by many including an abundance of wildlife. Please do not remove the tree!

Christine Fredericks

This project is an abomination to the community and environment. Property values along this route will decline and the disruption to life via noise and air pollution is greatly accelerated for minimal return. There is simply not the increase in ridership, as stated. This project should be abandoned!!

Michael Bekins

Save the trees and avoid eyesores.

Vittorio Morandin

Walking very often in a beautiful and serene country road, probably the last one in our section of Santa Barbara.

Scott Taylor

This will destroy the monarch butterfly migratory path and create a massive environmental negative impact

The Ortega Siding Project places a disproportionate burden on the residents of Padaro Lane and Beach Club Road

It’s important because those majestic trees make Padaro the stately beautiful Lane it is.

John Williams

When we lived on Padaro Lane the magic and the e charm of the street was the tall trees and the shade canopy they provided. Save the trees -save the charm! I heard this song recently - i thought it might be appropriate to the issue.

Considering that this road is being used by bicyclists and pedestrians, the planned siding is simply too close to the road and therefore hazardous.

SAVE THE TREES!!

Tisha Jones

These trees serve as important habitat for birds, insects (monarch butterflies) as well as providing shade and noise buffer for recreational users and homeowners. There has to be a better place for the siding project. Taking these trees out would be a horrible mistake.

Sarah Preston

I love these trees.They are a defining part of Padaro lane!

Supporter

This would be a travesty for all of the reasons mentioned in the petition and in the comments. Please reconsider!

The bird filled canopy protects us from the sun and from the freeway noise. And... it's beautiful! So many bikers/walkers/joggers flock to Padaro because of it.

Elizabeth Geiger

Please save this important environment; the majestic trees and wildlife on Padaro Lane cannot be replaced. The pollution of idling diesel trains along this road will cause harm to all who live or frequent this area.

Valerie Hoffman

A rail siding along Padaro Lane and the elimination and severe trimming of so many trees would irreparably damage this beautiful environment.

Judith Walters

I feel strongly that the environment needs to be protected. Please sign this petition. The RR needs to find an alternative way to meet their needs!

Maxwell Thomas

The conservation state tearing out trees? Color me shocked

Tyler Lockton

To protect the peace and the Earth of such an amazing place.

Lindsay Walters

Please show some respect and consideration for the ecosystem! It’s home to important wildlife and this type of deforestation is kill trees that are hundreds of years old!
