Valle Verde Retirement Home

·        Potential development of Valle Verde Retirement Home with additional units located behind their property increases traffic concerns.

While this is a retirement home it is also a business which employs people to care for seniors. They currently have several levels of care including a hospital with bedridden patients. They currently lack adequate parking for their workers; Calle De Los Amigos is completely parked full on both sides during business hours. This situation should be corrected before any additional units are approved.

·        The access for Valle Verde Retirement Home is Torino Dr. and Calle De Los Amigos.

While the legal speed for Torino Drive is 25 mph, the recorded average speed in the 3700 block is 38 mph, and this is in an area where the residents of Valle Verde Retirement Home and Vista Del Monte bike and walk thru the neighborhood. The housing development of Hidden Oaks crosses Valle Verde Retirement Home using Torino Dr. we have talked with residents and administration regarding the speeding and we have requested police presence with no result in the lowering of speeding. We have also requested speed reduction devices in the area of the Hidden Valley Park with no results. The city developed this park for small children and it is heavily used. There is a serious traffic safety factor which needs to be addressed before any additional construction is approved on any site that increases traffic.
