The Valley currently has bus routes that run on a grid pattern. There is plenty of room for improvement. They said they ran a public notice in the Daily News, but no one saw it. Neighbors were granted a meeting with Wilson at the end of July and aired their concerns. If CSUN becomes the site for the proposed transit center, that number would increase to 289 buses daily.
Buses are big, heavy vehicles and cause a vibration and shaking of residences.
There will not be a street light at the entrance to the transit center and roughly half the buses will have to turn left across oncoming traffic on Zelzah to enter. Add to that the additional left hand turns at Nordhoff, Reseda and Lassen for those bus lines and you have a significant safety issue that has not been addressed. The consequences of these negative attributes is obviously that property values will suffer. It would take proper marketing, but at some point we have to stand up and examine some of our behavior habits, more and more children in California are being born with diminished lung capacity and developing asthma at earlier ages and if something we are doing is causing a health problem for someone else, maybe we need to think about changing that habit. We are taking them seriously, we also recognize they are part of the community.
