Oh I meant I'm not buying it. I didn't mean I don't see it in the art.
You assume this is a "security bubble" that requires no public access on the full east side of the bridge. I don't make that same assumption based on the history of this project.
I agree it has to be to remove the crosswalk, there’s no other reason to create that spiral walkway and elevators, if the crosswalk was staying there’d be no reason to build the elevators and spiral walkway at all… you’d just have all those guests using the crosswalk to get to the lower security area, there’d be zero reason for them to ever go up a level.
We frequently stay at the Hilton by the convention center and there’s a ton of hotels and foot traffic in that direction. Those sidewalks on the west side of Harbor are often wall to wall people at opening and closing.
Same place where they come from on that side of Harbor now, there is still foot traffic on that side that don't use the crosswalk or use it further down Harbor such as at Katella.
Yep, a WHOLE lot of foot traffic that doesn't even require needing to be on the east side of Harbor and use that crosswalk.
Sure seems like adding public access to the east side of the bridge wouldn't be that necessary then.
Funny, but none of that means the crosswalk is staying. Having followed this project since the beginning and being part of this discussion with David (Darkbeer) when he was alive I can tell you the crosswalk is not staying. That was a priority one requirement by the City of Anaheim. So I would find it almost impossible that has changed.Sure seems like adding public access to the east side of the bridge wouldn't be that necessary then.
That was the original plan, make everyone walk to the garage to cross via the bridge so they weren’t crossing Harbor, that got a ton of pushback though so this is the reasonable compromise, Disney gets to keep most the security area outside the esplanade so they can build in it, the Harbor hotels get to keep their easy park access, and Anaheim gets to reduce the traffic on Harbor. Win, win, win.Sure seems like adding public access to the east side of the bridge wouldn't be that necessary then.
Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?
