This Is my first time creating a petition, because I believe we as Palomar HOV on/off ramp neighbors— together can make a change. 

I am a neighbor of the Chula Vista HOV carpool exit/on-ramp and reside approximately .25 miles or less from this ramp. 

I have been a property owner since July of 2009 and a have had to deal with the noise from construction work, as well as  the additional noise and increased criminal activity from this exit for many years without being able to utilize it to its potential. 

It’s a project that seems to have done very little to help our neighborhood traffic congestion. I consistently see busses without passengers, very  few single rider cars utilizing it— as well as  the parking lot close to empty daily (except for the criminals who are  there at night due to the hidden location of the parking lot.) The  lot seems to mostly be used for people utilizing the park across the street for little league games and parties when I do see people there. 

I was so excited when this finally opened after years of loud construction, but I now I’m  really not quite sure why this was ever built?  As there are very few vehicles that actually take advantage of these  HOV lanes and parking.

I am in the process of coordinating all neighbors within the area to become involved in the Palomar HOV single rider neighborhood carpool initiative; This initiative will  involve opening this exit/on-ramp up to single rider residents within .5 mile radius. Possibly with addresses on file with the local police department or a special sticker on our vehicles so us residents can use this on and off-ramp without a hefty fee. 

This initiative will help with traffic congestion on Telegraph Canyon Road, as well as  help with Chula Vista’s ongoing efforts to protect the environment—since neighbors will be conserving fuel and putting less mileage and wear and tear on our vehicles. 

Chula Vista is an amazing city and I am proud to call it my home— but as a homeowner who has to live next to and paid the taxes to build something that I  can  rarely access with  increased noise, traffic and criminal activity is not something to ignore.

Please forward this petition to your nearby  neighbor, so we can discuss with City Officials  an initiative to open this exit up to single rider Chula Vista residents within a .5 mile radius.
 Please sign this to  help make change in our beautiful city. 

Thank you!
