Hello Stephen Faessel,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Angie Monreal and I grew up in Anaheim for over 20 years before I left to
pursue my undergraduate education at UCLA, masters at Columbia University, and now a doctorate at UCI. I grew up
two streets away from Disneyland and I am deeply concerned on how fast Disney and tourist attractions are impacting
Anaheim residents. I have huge concerns over the expansion because of pollution, traffic conditions, and the rapid
gentrification of Anaheim. It saddens me to see how we, the residents and community members of Anaheim, can see
that there is no community benefit from the disney expansion. As someone who was elected by the people, please do
right by the people and vote against the Disney expansion and do not sell public streets. Thank you.
Best,
--
