Paramount staff recommends moving Santa train stop to 15328 Orange Ave. to reduce neighborhood impact
Summary
Staff proposed relocating the Thursday-night Santa train stop to 15328 Orange Avenue to reduce impacts on homes and preserve southbound emergency access; the recommended site would affect an estimated 74 residential units versus roughly 159 in other options.
City staff presented alternative locations for the annual Thursday-night Santa train stop and recommended relocating the event to 15328 Orange Avenue to reduce neighborhood disruption. Community Services Director Yesenia Guillen said the recommended location “affects an estimated 74 residential units,” down from about 159 in an earlier concept, and keeps the southbound lane open for emergency vehicles.
Staff said the relocation keeps the stop close to its original site while minimizing driveway and emergency access impacts; staff will notify and engage nearby residents in advance of the holiday event and trial the change during the season. The council discussed outreach, temporary lane changes, staging of city vehicles and crowd-flow logistics and indicated support to proceed with community notification and monitoring of impacts.
