Dear City Council/Mayor/District 2 (I read that Carlos Leon is moving or maybe already moved - , so wh o
will b e in charge of the District 2 ???)….
I realize that the City of Anaheim tries to make this Little Arabia section of An aheim h app y – maybe th ey
have d onated a lot of money to the City – don’t know – but whatever it is - they have been able to
overtake this section of Anaheim with no restrictions is very concernin g……Last nig ht’s S uh oor Festival
was ap palling as the peop le had absolutely NO REGARD for the traffic trying to navigate aroun d th em –
and ab solutely NO REGARD for anything else except that THEY WERE DOING…..I cou ld n ot get th rou gh
to my house on Orange Ave without fear of hitting a person walking arou nd not p ayin g an y atten tion to
cars. I am app alled that this was allowed.
Did the food vend ors selling food get city health permits? Did the other ven dors get city-issued selling
p ermits? Did this festival get the proper permits to congregate like th is? I have to make a comment
ab out this because I am just furious that this was allowed by the City of An aheim with absolu tely n o
ap parent rules or reg ulations nor any overseeing/direction of the hun dreds of p eople walking IN THE
STREETS ab solutely oblivious to cars trying to get through.
(I d o believe this Suhoor festival took p lace last year at Rahmadan time also, b ut th ere weren’t a lot of
p rob lems like this year & althoug h I wanted to make a comment abou t if the festival was permitted, I
d id not. This year’s festival was a mess & totally out of control !) There was absolu tely NO REGARD for
safety !
Thank you for allowing me to voice my concerns - & hopefully you will respon d in some way th at it has
b een rec’d & read.
Thank you,
Marg ot Pierrong
