The Anaheim City Council has approved a deal to allow Anaheim Arena Management, the operator of the Honda Center, negotiate and sell the naming rights to the city’s signature transportation hub, known as the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, or ARTIC.
Businesses in the Anaheim Resort voted, for the first time in three years, not to pay for ARTIC’s shortfall.
The company that manages the Honda Center will get exclusive rights to sell advertisements on two electronic billboards in front of ARTIC, Anaheim’s transportation hub.
The Anaheim City Council passed a resolution that not only kills the controversial $300 million streetcar project, but also says no to plans for any kind of streetcar down Harbor Boulevard.
Anaheim City Council members are asking the Orange County Transportation Authority to keep the city’s streetcar project as a priority despite a lack of local, state, or federal funding for the project.
Mayor Tom Tait proposed killing the streetcar project entirely because it has been denied funding from both the Orange County Transportation Authority and the federal government. But the council majority shot down the proposal.
The Orange County Transportation Authority will stop all planning activities with Anaheim officials for the city’s controversial streetcar project.
A Transportation Authority committee’s recommendation to formally ask Anaheim officials to quit the controversial project pits residents against city officials and tourism industry interests.
Could ARTIC, Anaheim’s colossal new transit center, steal the Great Park’s dubious honor of being Orange County’s biggest taxpayer-funded mistake?
A report calling for Anaheim’s beleaguered streetcar project be terminated was supposed to be on Monday’s Orange County Transportation Authority Board meeting agenda. But sources say there’s a big political push to bury it.
