Dear Mr. Elliott,

I am making reference again to your Figure 3.12 - 3. This time I am referencing thelocations of parks in West Hills.

One of these parks is Shadow Ranch Park - which has historical status in the City ofLos Angeles. It is used by the New Community Jewish High School football and otherathletic activities; it also still has preschool programs to the best of my knowledge. Itis across the street from the New Community Jewish High School to the north. It isalso most likely in your Region of Influence Roadways.

Other parks that are in West Hills that I do not see located are closer to ValleyCircle. Some of these may fall into your Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open SpacePreserve?

But they include:

1. Castle Peak Park2. El Escorpion Park3. West Hills Baseball4. Knapp Ranch Park West

In Woodland Hills on Topanga and Oxnard is Warner Ranch Park. You also missed amajor park in Woodland HIlls on Shoup which is south of Oxnard and north ofBurbank I believe).

I have attached the Neighborhood Council maps for the four communities that willbe potentially impacted by your trucks.

I have done this for a number of reasons:

1. I think that all of these Neighborhood Councils (NC) need to be made aware ofthe NASA DEIS and the potential for all of this future traffic. This is particularlytrue for the Canoga Park NC which may not have been as actively engaged inthe project. A second NC which should be consulted is the Woodland HillsWarner Center NC.

2. Both Canoga Park and Chatsworth have census tracts that have a higherminority population and lower income populations than census tracts in otherlocations. Your census tract documents seemed to focus on thoseEnvironmental Justice communities - Section 4.8 Environmental Justice.

3. As you look at Table 4.8-2 : Schools Near Local Roadways Affected by theProposed Action - please review my previous comments on schools that weremissed on your school map on Figure 3.12 - 3.

4. Your census tract data is referenced on Figure 3.12- 2 and on Tables 3.12 - 1and 3.12 -2.

5. Another reason for submitting these maps is to show that you can showprimary streets on a small map which is necessary for someone to understandlocations of schools, approximate distances, etc.

6. Open spaced are shown on these map attachements as well.7. Your Final maps - you may want an acrylic overlay for hard copies to show

some locations. Another option is to put a number on a map - and have themap fold over to reveal the legend of the school locations. By putting the fullnames on the maps - with maps as small as roughly 7" x 10" - your wordsoverlay other features. I recommend the school symbol with an associatednumber.

8. You must also consider that not all schools have the same hours of operation.Some schools have after school programs; other schools may close for specificreligious holidays - or they may be open on days that you may not expect.

In all of your truck traffic scenarios, you must be considering summer activitieswhich are a really important aspect of Lanark Park in Canoga Park.

I do not see any notations for major parks such as Chatsworth Park South, SantaSusana Pass State Historic Park, or Stoney Point Park in Chatsworth (which is exactlywhere the trucks queue to get on the 118 freeway going east).

Respectfully submitted,

Christine L. Rowe
