Go Team USA! CITY MANAGER’S UPDATE: City Manager Vanderpool shared that since 2016, Anaheim has collaborated with Caltrans on transferring ownership of Beach Boulevard within the City limits. The relinquishment will provide the City with full operational control in return for assuming complete responsibility. Caltrans will compensate the City $4.8 million to ensure the street is brought up to a good state of repair. Once Caltrans finalizes the Beach Boulevard Relinquishment Agreement, they will prepare a submission for the California Transportation Commission's October 2024 meeting to seek final approval for the official transfer of Beach Boulevard to the City of Anaheim. This marks another significant step in the City’s collective efforts to revitalize Beach Boulevard. Local Control will enable the City to creatively envision the design and beautification of the roadway and to streamline the permitting for its reconstruction and the future development along the significant corridor within the City of Anaheim. City Manager Vanderpool asked everyone to mark their calendars for the Community Services Concerts in the Canyon every Thursday in July beginning at 6:30 p.m. The concert series is held at Ronald Reagan Park where attendees can picnic, dance and sing along to their favorite tunes. 33 Thunder will perform Country Rock on July 18 and he reminded everyone to bring lawn chairs and blankets.
