Anaheim Residents Might Soon Be Able to Call a Disney Hotline with Noise Complaints
As part of their push to get the DisneylandForward proposal approved, Disney will set up a hotline for Anaheim residents to voice their noise complaints.
During Tuesday’s meeting, Disney was asked to expound on how residents closest to Disneyland Resort will be able to voice their concerns about higher noise levels. The possibility of increased noise in the surrounding neighborhoods has been one of the arguments used against the DisneylandForward project.
In response to the concerns, Disney will have an active 24/7 hotline, staffed with live representatives, that residents can reach out to.
An environmental impact report for the project stated that Disney would also need to install temporary sound barriers during construction. Additionally, they will need to add 12-foot-tall noise barriers along property lines outlined in the expansion plans in order to combat the additional noise. Fireworks would also be prohibited in certain proposed expansion areas to placate the surrounding communities.
Interestingly, the hotline will not go away when construction on the Disneyland expansion is complete. The hotline will remain to field calls from residents concerned about the noise of the resort’s after-hours events.
DisneylandForward Moves Closer to Passing
Should the DisneylandForward proposal pass, the Disneyland Resort would have a 40-year agreement with Anaheim in place. The new plan would allow for new attractions, shops, and restaurants.
The new attractions would be built alongside hotels on the west side of Disneyland Drive, while shopping, dining, and entertainment venues would be constructed at Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard, where the Toy Story Parking Area currently is.
City council members recently approved the $1.9 billion expansion plan by a unanimous 7-0 vote. The project will now face a final city council vote on May 7.
