Brown DocuSign Envelope ID: 49E75962-CFB4-44D8-B351-42D14442C98C 1 Clark Close From:Chrysocolla Dawn <chrysocolladawn@gmail.com> Sent:Wednesday, January 18, 2023 3:28 PM To:Clark Close Subject:Renton Landing Bus Stop (Don't remove it) Hello! One of the tenants where I live was bragging about sending you a letter asking for a local bus stop to be removed, and I'd like to say that's not a solution to anything she's describing. The crime rate of the area isn't "exceptionally high" because of a bus stop, and removing it would be detrimental to a lot of tenants here who rely on it for affordable commuting. Mass Transit in any community is very important considering a lot of people have no other conveyance available to them. Just wanted to let you know her sentiment is not one that's widely shared among the people here, and is fueled by selfish intent. Thank you very much for your time, and all that you do. -- Jeffrey P.

Close, My Name is Jillian and I have been living at Griffis Lake WA Apartments since March 2021. I want to keep this short and to the point. I am a law enforcement officer and have witnessed the rise in crime in such a short amount of time. I have witnessed loitering for the distribution of drugs, bold theft in and coming out of Target, loiters starting fires, and car theft/scouting in our 'secured' parking garage. It is normal to encounter criminals, the homeless, and the mentally ill at the N 10th St & Park Ave N bus stop attached to my building, facing Target. It's also very normal to hear transients fighting with residents, bus drivers and getting arrested. I am confident when I say there is a direct correlation between this bus stop and crime in this immediate area. I have witnessed thieves steal from Target and run for the bus several times as I was walking out. I understand you are the Principal Planner for the new Commercial & Mixed Use project located at 800 Garden Ave N Renton, WA. I am asking that you get the bust stop removed or at the very least moved if possible. Thank you, Jillian Lenon Griffis Resident (360) 389-8829 CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Renton.

Principle Planner Close, Here are some videos and a photo of additional incidents and issues that the bus stop brings. There are so many other things that I haven’t recorded.
