STOP THE HOUSING PROJECT PROTEST DRAWS ESTIMATED 
CROWD OF 100 

Neighbors concerned about the impact 
of one of the largest housing projects in 
Sierra Madre history gathered Thursday 
evening on N. Sunnyside to display their 
displeasure with the planned development 
of 42 homes on the monastery 
property. 

According to organizer Matt Bryant, the 
group feels that "If the project were to go 
through, the result would be: 

1. Every tree on both sides of that beautiful 
road from the top of Sunnyside to theRetreat Center will be destroyed. 
2. The deer, coyotes, bobcats hawks andother wildlife will be gone. 
3. The additional water users in an extreme 
drought that is only getting worsewill lead to higher rates and rationing forexisting residents. 
4. The staging area for fires and rescue helicopters will be gone. 
5. The houses will be built in an extreme fire hazard area. 
6. Idyllic Sunnyside will be turned into a freeway with increased traffic from the retreatcenter, 42 additional homes, a public park, Amazon deliveries and more. 
7. The additional ingress/egress point at Carter/Grove/Lima will be an even worse and dangerous 
choke point because of the overflow park-ing at Bailey Park which already forcesvisitors to park way down on Grove and because there are no side-walks, they have to dodge 
cars as they walk up to the park - and that’s the way it is now over there. Add to that the 
additional traffic from the 42 homes and new park and you have an accident waiting to 
happen. 
8. Emergency vehicles will have trouble getting up Sunnyside and Carter/Grove. 
9. All this traffic will lead to Sierra Madre’s first traffic light, congestion through out townand perhaps parking meters downtown. 10. The loss of ever diminishing open space andanimal habitat. 
10. And then to add insult to injury, 2 years or more of construction with big rigs grindingup Sunnyside all day spewing pollution and noise as they go. 
The crowd was peaceful, two police cars were needed to monitor the traffic flow because of 
the size of the crowd."
