COMMUNITY MEETING NOTES Irvine Civic Center – Tuesday, January 31, 2017
ACCESSIBILITY/ROADS
Is something going to be done about accessibility for the main thoroughfare? Are there any plans to improve the roads from the I‐5? Are new streets being built to accommodate new traffic?
ACROBATIC/GYMNASTICS FACILITY Michele Sam o Would like to see facility for acrobatic/gymnastics training to meet the needs of a large, growing acrobatics community in Irvine/OC o Similar to OMB in Santa Monica o Would like a traveling ring, child & adult size o Sandy/grassy area for safety o Would like to see the space in a high‐traffic location to allow engagement with public o Location: Cultural Terrace; near children’s area AMPHITHEATER Really want to get the amphitheater. Will attract big names like they did at the Irvine Meadows. Irvine Company has taken away from the cultural. Rallying for the amphitheater. Losing Wild Rivers and Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre was hard. These were important to Irvine. We need something to replace the Irvine Meadows Would like to see an outdoor amphitheater Amphitheatre should mimic Hollywood Bowl (shuttling people in and out) We need an amphitheater that is flexible on space
Gregory Pierre Cox, CFRE, CSPG, Vice President of Development Pacific Symphony
o Anxious to see the amphitheater since the Irvine Meadows was closed. People are now driving out to the Hollywood Bowl. Irvine is really diverse. The Pacific Symphony is world class and will help solidify Irvine. Amphitheater near the lake would be great for families to have picnics. o Smaller stages with theater setting would be great for outdoor concerts. o Fully support the amphitheater. Devastating loss of Irvine Meadows. A lot of history was there. It will be beneficial to bring back to Irvine. Bring back the music and the cultural. o Music is a huge part of growing up. Have something that transcends to the community. Great revenue producer.
