Agency Member McCracken. In recent newspaper articles, there was discussion of light rail in the
County and one of the maps showed Anaheim Boulevard as a location for light rail, the time frame being
years down the line. With the City doing a great deal of construction/beautification down the center of
the street, she asked if there was going to be a problem in the future in having to remove the
landscaping if that area is used.

Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. There have been several discussions
on the issue. There are two alternate routes for the light rail, one being Anaheim Boulevard and the
other the rail right of way -- not Amtrak, but the Southern Pacific rail alignment. There could also be the
possibility, if Anaheim Boulevard is selected, the light rail may not have to go down the center because
there are sufficient travel lanes available. After elaborating further, she noted the bottom line at this time
is they do not know what the alignment is going to be but there are alternatives.
Chairman Daly. The concern is installing landscape improvements and then possibly having to remove
them. However, it appears there is only one stretch of median involved.
Mrs. Stipkovich. Working from the posted exhibits, outlined the areas involved. They talked about the
possibility of still leaving the median in place and looking at a different alignment if the light rail does go
down Anaheim Boulevard. The majority of the work will be on the sides of the street. Street trees and
certain sidewalk amenities will be added along the street on either side which should not be impacted.
