The Santa Ana River Trail project in south Anaheim now provides a 1,600-foot long river walk along the westerly side of the Santa Ana River from the south side of Katella Avenue to the railroad tracks. The trail is located alongside the ARTIC transit hub. The project features a planted retaining wall, decorative metal railing, pedestrian lighting, planting and irrigation, and metal interpretive kiosks. This project will serve as a point of entry and encourage pedestrians and bicyclists to travel to and from the ARTIC facility. For more information on ARTIC, visit articinfo.com.

| | Anaheim Water Conservation Continues |
Anaheim Mayor joins Play Ball initiative
|
Anaheim becoming an even more film-friendly city |
Thank you Anaheim residents! You have helped us exceed the 20% target for water savings as established by the State Water Resources Control Board. Let's keep the trend going. In terms of cumulative savings, Anaheim saved over 500 million gallons (see photo) to date, on our way to reaching the 3.3 billion gallon goal by February 2016. Anaheim customers are adhering to the two day per week watering schedule and applying for indoor and outdoor rebates that help save water. Although El Nino conditions have provided summer showers, water still needs to be conserved to make up for four years of severe drought conditions. |
Mayor Tom Tait recently joined 100 local elementary and junior high children at Lincoln Park to Play Ball, an initiative introduced by the U.S. Conference of Mayors and Major League Baseball. Tait donned his glove and cap to take grounders, catch aspiring pitchers and help kids with their swings. Baseball teaches teamwork, perseverance, leadership and sportsmanship, according to Mayor Tait, who brought his message of Anaheim as a City of Kindness to the clinic. The Anaheim clinic was hosted by nonprofit Higher Ground Youth and Family Services. We invite you to learn more by watching this video.

You may see some familiar sights and sounds next time you turn on your television or stream content online. Within the past few months, locations in Anaheim were selected by major studio and production companies for filming television episodes and commercial spots. HBO's "True Detective" filmed its season closer at ARTIC. A major network has filmed a few episodes for a fall series at locations throughout the city. Three more production companies have recently utilized locations in Anaheim, including at ARTIC, for their sets. Filming supports jobs (local businesses, equipment suppliers, food and beverage), but it's also fun to see a familiar location on television. |

District Boundary Maps Taking Shape - Narrowed to Three
|
Nearly 30 maps representing various shapes of Anaheim's six City Council voting districts have been narrowed to three - with the possibility of additional revisions during September.
To see the maps and determine where your address would fall on each of the proposals, go to anaheim.net/districts. Click on: View All Draft Maps with Overlay; Select a Map of your choice; and Enter your address in the Search field.
There is still time for residents to participate in this historical process. Residents from across Anaheim encourage community participation in this final stage; your feedback and vision on specific boundaries is important to the process.
The last two scheduled meetings will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 8, at Loara High School and Wednesday, Sept. 16, at the Anaheim City Hall Council Chambers. All meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m. and during these meetings, the Committee will be deciding on its final recommendation to the City Council. The Council will then hold three public hearings and finalize the districts by the end of the year. Beginning with the 2016 elections, candidates for City Council must live in and be elected by their district.
