It looks a lot better than Paradise Pier Hotel and without all the hokey kid friendly decor.

Yeah, doesn't it? I'd much rather return from the parks to this type of Country Inn environment for half the cost of the Paradise Pier hotel. Instead of all that cheesy "SURFIN' GOOFY!" forced Disney decor overlaid onto a 1980's Sheraton cement tower with long lines for the elevators. And by 2018 it will be a shorter walk via the Eastern Gateway to the Country Inn than it will be to the Paradise Pier Hotel.

But for just $600/night, you can stay in Disney's 3 star hotel that's built into DCA's butt! Doesn't that sound better??

Actually it does to me. TGC is overpriced, but the amenities are incomparable to any other hotel property in Anaheim. PP Hotel is far and away the biggest ripoff.

Wait — how will the bridge work? Will it have an elevation change and slope up and over Harbor Blvd? Or will the road go below and slope under the bridge?

The road will remain at the same grade. The bridge will have long ramps (ADA approved grade) and will be over 15 feet tall at the bottom (truck clearance) and with fencing, over 25 feet overall. so the walkway is about 18 feet higher than the road on the bridge.

Usually 1 foot of ramp for every inch of elevation.

And breaks every 30 ft :)

I really need to look at the plans to see how they are handling the west side... the eastern approach they have plenty of space to work with. I haven't had the time to digest the videos darkbeer posted

There is nothing about the West Side, which is treated differently, due to the fact the area is currently zoned for Disney as landowners, and the Disneyland Resort Specific Plan,which was original agreed to in 1993.

Basically they can do what they want,so long as it meets current regulations, so until they file a Building Permit, we will not get any official word. It is also frustrating the current Zoning Commission and the non-Disney Businesses, as Disney, in its normal ways, refuses to admit to what they plan to do with the current Transportation Hub area, and what is going on west of Harbor Blvd. in General.

One interesting thing, the Park Vue Inn can't remodel their property due to a problem with getting financing that was brought up at Tuesday's City Council Meeting. Since their was a transit study for a Trolley/light rail system that wanted to use their property to use as a station, they can't get financing since the land is marked for possible government eminent domain. So until the plan is killed, they are in limbo. And of course, the council tabled the measure, sending it back for re-wording.....

But now is the time to do it, let them work at the same time as the Disneyland Eastern Gateway is being built, and reopen with a new design and access to the new pedestrian entrance on the east side of their property.....

Wow, that is garbage. Hope they're able to get that cleared up.

Ah, yes, the power of government (no matter how big or how small) to get in the way of private citizens exercising their right to use their own property. Stay classy Anaheim. :rolleyes:
