Anaheim City Council Anaheim City Council,
To: Mayor Aitken and the Anaheim City Council,
I am a lifelong resident of Anaheim and currently live in district 2. I also grew up less than one
mile away from Disneyland.
Living so close to Disneyland negatively impacted my quality of life due to sound pollution,
traffic due to tourism, and disruption to my neighborhood in Provential Drive. Due to the daily
fireworks, I could not sleep until 10pm, because, without fail, the sound and vibration from the
fireworks would set off car alarms and dogs would consequently howl. As an elementary
aged child, this impacted my quality of life during a critical developmental stage.
Fast forward to the current DisneylandForward Project, I am deeply concerned by the
negative impacts that this project could have on our community and the speed with which the
City is moving forward to adopt this project without proper community engagement.
The expansion of the Disneyland Resort, as outlined in the DisneylandForward proposal,
raises significant concerns about community displacement, traffic congestion, and strain on
our public resources.
As residents we deserve extensive and continued engagement process that allows residents
to provide input, including accessible in person conversations that take place in the evening
1
or on weekends to ensure that the meetings are accessible for those that work a 9am-6pm
job.
I urge you to postpone the vote and ensure a detailed, open process that carefully considers
the Project's impact; encourages discussions between city officials, Disney, and the
community members; and ensures that the community benefits associated with the project
truly meet the proposed benefits are in line with the community's needs for greater affordable
housing investments.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your thoughtful consideration and
action on behalf of our City.
