Residents urge calming vehicle traffic, noise on the Plaza
Summary
Two members of the public urged the committee to reduce vehicle traffic and noise on Plaza Park: Chandler Moore spoke in favor of a calmer plaza and a written comment from Jeffrey Haynes described loud mufflers and repeated engine revving on San Francisco Street.
At the start of the meeting, resident Chandler Moore spoke during public comment in support of Resolution 2026 and asked the city to reduce motor-vehicle traffic on the plaza to make it a calmer place for families. "It would be nice if things in the plaza were a little more calmed down," Moore said, arguing that fewer cars and less noise would encourage more people to use the plaza.
The clerk read a written comment from Jeffrey Haynes, who said he lives in the Railyard and described frequent loud mufflers and engine revving on San Francisco Street. "Please make the plaza and the streets surrounding its cafes for pedestrians come into the 21st century. The plaza is a gem in Santa Fe. Let's make it complete," the written comment read. Both inputs framed public sentiment that informed the committee's later debate about closures and traffic management.
