Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Analysis of Disneyland as my Neighbor:

Anaheim City Council Anaheim City Council,
To: Mayor Aitken and the Anaheim City Council,
I am writing to you as a response to the Disneyland forward project. As a concerned resident
of Anaheim. Regarding the proposed DisneylandForward Project, I already am stressed over
the trouble that comes with Disney being our neighbor. The negative impacts that this project
would have on our community at the speed with which my city officials continue to be
perpetrators is moving forward to adopt this project without proper community engagement.
Again, emphasis on thee council members. The irony of Disney's targeted audience being
children. Their foundational campaigns marketing love and light. As a corporation it is a terrible
inconsiderate entity. It has taken its space in history due to the lack of disclosure. Neighbors
like myself, are trying to use full rights of our voice. We are more involved than ever. We are
present.
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. Emphasizing TRAFFIC, and its known, studied symptom being
POLLUTION.
A CONSIDERATE INTERACTIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CITY ADMIN AND ITS
RESIDENTS IS: 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
1
truly meet the proposed benefits are in line with the community's needs for greater affordable
housing investments.
I look forward to your thoughtful consideration and action on behalf of our city.
With intention for wellness,
Leslie Arita
