Here's a good graphic of the property we're all talking about...
The
Green shaded box is the Carousel Inn that Disney bought last April, to become a skybridge structure over Harbor Blvd. connecting Disneyland to the property on Clementine/Manchester Ave. That Harbor Blvd. skybridge discussion we had back in May is found in the other thread linked above.
The
Purple 1 land is the big office park that Miceage reported a year ago that Disney had just purchased. The smaller building on the south is the US Immigration Service building for the LA region, and the bigger building to the north is currently the Sybron Dental company complex.
Sybron signed a 10 year lease on that building in May 2007, but I'm not sure if that lease can be broken any sooner. It's a massive building at 160,000+ square feet.
The
Orange 2 land is the existing 1,300 space Pumbaa parking lot that's been owned by Disney since the mid 1990's.
And for those keeping score at home, Disney also owns the smaller office park just to the east of the Pumbaa lot, shown on this map wedged between Clementine and the Santa Ana Freeway. This property includes some recently condemned office buildings and the old Bergstrom's children's store that went out of business (the larger building on an angle alongside the freeway). Disney owns all that land now. Again, I go to the right cocktail parties.
I'm not a traffic engineer or an architect, but if I were a betting man, I would say that the adjacent office park/Bergstrom's property across from Pumbaa becomes part of the new freeway/road access and entry point to a new parking structure on Pumbaa. With Clementine Street in that block either sunk below grade for whatever minimal surface traffic that is left, or Clementine Street in that block eliminated altogether.
Because once Disney owns all that land and puts a massive parking structure there, Clementine north of Disney Way really serves no purpose. Manchester Ave. could continue to exist south towards the cul de sac near Bergstrom's.
