San Carlos Residents for a Healthy Open Debate

Bob & Kathy Lynch, 20 year San Carlos residents

“We are longtime citizens of San Carlos who are concerned about the many adverse impacts Sutter/PAMF's hospital plan would have on our city. First, there is no need for a new hospital. There are already three excellent hospitals within a 10 minute drive from San Carlos.

Second, Sutter/PAMF's hospital would jam Holly Street, San Carlos's primary access to Highway 101. It does not take a traffic management expert to predict what would happen if an additional 1000 cars per day are added to the Holly Street and Highway 101 exchange.

Third, because the hospital is a nonprofit foundation, NO additional tax revenues would flow to the city to offset the adverse impact this facility would have on our city.

We believe the land should instead be used for businesses that would contribute to the tax revenue base for the city and provide more job opportunities for local city residents while minimizing the traffic flow impact in this area.”
