Harbar Boulevard, Walnut Street ar~d West Street/Dtsneyland Qrtve) as fdlows:
(A) Fr ~f~1~ - The street design currently provkies for atte~~ating vertical trees
and small or medium canopy trees. When this d,esign was apprrned, the SCE Iines
were planned to be placed underground or wfthin a structure. As the 220-kV ~~nes
are now proposed to remain aerial, the verticai trees are proposed to be removed
from the street design as they would interfeee wfth the aerial SCE ~ine clearanae
reyuirements.
(B) Harbor Boulevard - The approved street design for Harbor Boulevard indudes
multiple rows of canopy trees within the median and the parkway adJacent to the
Mreet wfth vert(cal palm trees in the parkway adJacent to the ult(mate right-of-way.
Due to the conftguration of the revised Theme Park District Drop-off Area and the
existing monorail and fences along the Disneyland Theme Park boundary, tho street
design is proposed to be modiFied/coRected to remove the vertical pa~m trce from
the west side of the street north of the southemmost point of the Theme Park

layered landscaping adJacent to the existing Disneyland Thsme ~ar1c back-oF-house
fence.

change the parkway trees to taller irees to further buffer the uses wfthin the Hote1
District including the SCE 220-kV transmisslon Iines alonc Walnut Streot
~p) ~~s~ Street/Uisnevland DrNe - The appraved street design providas for altema:ing
vertical trees and rr~edium or sma~~ canopy trees. The proposed revislon would
provfde for the same rype of trees; however, as previously Indicatect, a segment of
the street may be lowered to allow a~rade-separated pedestrfan crossing and the
landscapo whhin the parkway and median may be el~m~nated under the pedestrian
overcrossing. The trees depicted In the graph~c have also been modifled• The
