Orange County Great Park: Sports park, water park, ice rink, golf course

I don't think pet owners will go in there knowing it's coyote town... but I also know there aren't many fences/walls that coyotes can't climb... so what's going to keep them away from the pet buffet in the surrounding GP homes?

Where this crosses Irvine Blvd it?s in between Altair and PS3?  Hard to tell from this map.

It doesn't...it would be between Altair and the jail.

The corridor appears to go right through Hidden Canyon. HC owners will not be pleased with visits from low class Portola Springs coyotes.

Here are some previous links from the city, foundation and Five Point about the Wildlife Corridor which includes information about the undercrossings. There is a undercrossing at Irvine Blvd and Magazine Road.

I believe the future development near Irvine Blvd/Magazine Road and Alton Rd will be housing and maybe is county land. See the attached photo of the conceptual development.

I also wonder if the future corridor fences will tall like the 241 tollroad fences which are ?10-12 feet high? to prevent animals from jumping over it  and ?two feet into the ground? to stop animals from digging under it.

Today, the Irvine City Council will discuss the Wild Rivers Water Park (constructing a 1,200 car parking lot/charging for parking and water park plans).

The council will also consider Tierra Verde Industries (TVI) request (compost and recycling facility at GP) for a lease extension for one or two years. TVi?s lease for 78 acres at GP  is up this month of May.

?Provide direction regarding Wild Rivers' request that the City construct the parking lot necessary to serve the water park?.

Interesting points from the documents, TVI brings revenue to the city (over a million dollars in FY 2016-2017),  but it?s operations could affect the water park due to the TVI operations smell and appearance. Council will consider plans to possibly decrease TVI?s acreage and maybe install landscaping/barriers to block TVI operations, so it does not affect the water park.

Wild Rivers wants to charge for parking and the city wants to use the parking lot for other events like concerts. The sports park across the street has a lot.

I wonder if people will go across the street to avoid paying for parking. For reference, the Festival Lot at GP (near Palm Court) is about 14 acres and has close to 800 parking  spaces.

IHS3000 must work for Lennar. Flooding the thread away to make the ?stains? all go away.

Coincidence?

 

[Jantoven]

IHS3000 does seem to post info about the other communities in that area too, though (Taylor Morrison, Richmond American, etc).  Not sure a Lennar rep would be doing that.

Correction: FivePoint rep.  ;D

Yes, that would be my guess

Yesterday, the city moved forward with the next steps for the Wild Rivers plans.  The plan is for the city to build the large parking lot and Wild Rivers will charge patrons to park. The parking lot will be used by the city to bring in revenue and for future needs of the cultural terrace.

Wild Rivers also shared renderings of the water park which include lots of cabanas, giant bucket which drops water in the kid?s area and a lazy river.

The Great Park?s trails at Bosque and Upper Bee will open in a few months pending the final sidewalk connection. If you are on Bosque St. and Great Park Blvd, you can see the grading for the sidewalk which will eventually lead to the 1 acre playground.

TVI is also staying at the Great Park for another year and TVI will decrease their footprint because of Wild Rivers. The city will the option to extend TVI for another year after May 2019.

All jokes aside. Potentially more traffic?

That's some forward thimking and quite considerate! When you develop cancer after living on toxic land, you won't have to go far for treatment.

I take it you?re not a GP fan as well?

I have nothing against GP, but I just can't imagine that the land actually got cleaned up. I don't exactly trust the government. I would have preferred an airport. Since that was never going to happen, an actual Great Park would have been nice. Not more million dollar houses that the average Orange County resident can't afford.
