My two cents on LA Fitness
Dear Editor
Seal Beach council members voting for this project may feel more comfortable sleeping at night because they believe the EIR is minimizing the traffic impact, against the wishes of those opposed. If the EIR is true and LA Fitness doesn’t bring much traffic to the area, then does LA Fitness really bring more business into the area? If the EIR is incorrect, the surrounding residents have to deal with irreversible consequences.
You can’t have it both ways, thinking that there isn’t going to be a traffic impact while improving business in the area.

Dear Editor,
We have lived in Rossmoor since 1986 and we have seen this neighborhood change in the last few years. When we moved here, we had a very quiet and nice neighborhood with very little crime, beautiful trees, minimal traffic, etc. We have seen business development take over empty lots and cars pack what used to be empty streets, and crime increase. We don’t want to obstruct growth but there has to be a limit to corporate greed. We don’t need more cars, more people roaming our streets, more noise from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m.; enough is enough. What is worse is the fact that Rossmoor gets nothing in return for all this aggravation. All the economic benefit from tax revenues goes to Seal Beach. We get the traffic, the crime, the crowds and the decline of our neighborhood. Stop LA Fitness in Rossmoor.

Dear Editor,
I have lived in Rossmoor since 1978. I oppose to having L.A Fitness build a gym in the back of the Montecito Apartments. There are various gyms all around. I go to one of them, no more than three miles from where L.A Fitness is thinking of building another 37,000 gym. In back of the condominiums on Montecito and Sprouts, the traffic will be a major problem along Seal Beach Boulevard, St. Cloud, Montecito, Rossmoor Way as well as Bradbury.
Safety is very important for all pedestrians crossing Montecito, children walking or riding there bikes, going and coming from the schools, library, and the parks in Rossmoor. We like to have children around and their safety should be very important to all of us.
Also, the traffic will impede emergency vehicles going to help the one in need.
Please say NO to the LA Fitness. No more unnecessary congested traffic.
