Dear Council Members,
As you must already know diesel emissions, which contain the fine particulate known as black
carbon, have been linked to not only asthma, cancer, heart disease, stroke, neurological
disorders but premature deaths too. Online shopping is continuing to be favored throughout
the nation but we must not sell out our communities here in San Bernardino in favor of
supporting over consumption.
I urge you to put the warehouse moratorium on the agenda and to vote yes for it. The city
needs to better understand the needs of our residents and the impacts of the warehouse
industry has on our communities beyond the financial gains that a certain small segment of
folks gain from it. Public officials need to invest more resources, time and attention on an
analysis that includes city officials doing site visits to determine safety infrastructure, as well
as a stakeholder analysis so that public forums can be more inclusive.
Do the right thing put the moratorium on the agenda and vote yes,
Kari Kalinich
Inland Empire resident in support of an innovative, healthy, equitable City of San Bernardino
