Dear MW

1 am writing again to urge the amul Indian Village (J IV) to be a good neighbor and
restrict access to the casino until all of the required highway and road improvements

are in place.

More than ever, recent traf?c statistics underscore the need for swift action. During
the casino?s ?rst months of operation, from October 2016 to May 31, 2017, the
California Highway Patrol reported 99 collisions, 13 DUI?related collisions, and 10
DUI arrests on the stretch of SR-94 impacted by the casino. The collision numbers
appear to be on a record pace for the year. The serving of alcohol at the casino has
further added to the driving dangers.

In an August 25, 2016 letter to the editor in the San Diego Union Tribune, you
stated, ?We have spent 25 years working on plans and solutions intended to address
traf?c issues. Our tribe has committed approximately $20 million toward road
improvements identi?ed by the California Department of Transportation.? Where
are the promised $20 million in highway improvements and when will they be
completed? As of the writing of this letter, the only improvement in place is the
traf?c signal in front of the casino and some frontage improvements. It is clear that
IV has shirked its responsibility to the public in lieu of casino pro?ts.

Lastly, I once again call upon JIV to immediately cease the serving of alcohol at the
casino until it is demonstrated that there are no traf?c safety issues and the highway
improvements promised by IV are in place and working effectively.

I will continue to hold the IV leadership responsible for any injury or loss of life
due to the life threatening situation you have caused on SR 94 because of your

broken promises.
