Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Delay Your Vote on the Disneyland Forward Project

Anaheim City Council Anaheim City Council,
To: Mayor Aitken and the Anaheim City Council,
I am writing to you as a concerned resident of Anaheim regarding the proposed
DisneylandForward Project. I am deeply troubled 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 past history of Disney and Anaheim’s
negotiations have proven that this expansion needs to be reviewed.
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 a long time Disney guest, I can see that Disney’s interests aren’t to
have a collaboration with the city or its residents. It is disheartening and disturbing.
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. From a resident who grew up and lives in Anaheim, a past Disney
passholder, and one of your constituents.
