Long live the Eastern Gateway or how I learned to love the Anaheim City Council after the election.

The question is, will it be option one or two?

The old USCIS building is currently being used as TDA offices, officially called TDA East I believe.

So I'm not sure if they will be utilizing that space or not.

We'll know soon as they wouldn't put the construction fence around it if it's not part of the plan.

True, but they just retrofitted the building in 2023 and added security badging last year. It seems they are planning to occupy the building for awhile, maybe they are moving all of TDA there. So I can't see them tearing it down at this point, maybe in the future.

Am I misreading the permit or is it just for about 145 feet in length, maybe for something like this?

They don't give the length in the permit, at least not the one I read (unless I'm also misreading it). Also this is just an initial permit, so probably just for prep work.

Isn't this what we're talking about?

15 lineal feet by 8 foot high chainlink (a gate, probably), and 128 lineal feet by 8 foot high of wood?

I would read that as linear feet not lineal, not even sure what a lineal feet is.

As that is not very big I can assume its prep work not a whole site fencing. Probably for test drilling and such for soil samples and other prep work if I was to guess.

I associate the word lineal with some things like lumber and fencing, I'm probably old fashioned though. Anyway, it's a short fence, but it's a start at least.

It sounds like an old English word that means the same thing. But most Americans I think would use linear feet (and read LF as such) or even use the laymen "board feet" for wood area.

Anyways yes its a short fence, probably prep work for the site before fencing in the whole area.

Lineal is pretty commonly used in my construction circles and in reference to merchandising footages in my commercial store reset work.

Ok, not saying people don't use it, but I went down to Home Depot today after learning this word and the people in the lumber section looked at me funny when I asked for 100 lineal feet of wood for a project, the associate even asked their supervisor and they didn't know either. When I said linear feet they understood.

Also asked a few guys I know who work construction and they said they don't use it, that its really old school people that use it at this point (think people from the 70s and 80s and older construction) but that most in the industry have standardized on linear or board feet.

Dunno, guess its not as common as many think.

'tis too ill that the corky way of speaking hath gone to the wayside.

Does this mean you can buy wood in curvilinear feet? And do you have to give spline dimensions?

You never disappoint on here.

If this is the one, its an installation of a fencing -

Thanks, I've had some wifi issues the last couple of days

I would add that this is at the Plan Review stage, not an issued permit. Sometimes review goes quickly, other times, very slowly.

Neither of those plots of land are anywhere near 1509 S. Harbor Blvd.

I don't think the idea of the question was specifically about this permit but rather when they do begin which scenario will they go with. That specific permit is for the Esplanade, specifically its the Harbor entrance. So its the beginning stages of the EGW.

Also Disney doesn't always file the permit on the exact address of work to be performed. For example most everything for DLR is filed under 1313 S. Harbor Blvd even if its not specifically that address where the work will be done.

Wrong on both accounts, but thanks for playing!

Ok, so where is that address then if you think I'm wrong.
