Angry residents told Walt Disney Co. executives Wednesday they want to be compensated for the construction impacts of a childcare center on the studio’s massive campus.
About 20 residents Wednesday night met with a half-dozen Disney representatives and an equal number of city officials at the Glendale Environmental Management Center, a short distance from the recently completed childcare center for 236 children on Flower Street between Paula and Davis avenues.
Residents aired concerns about damage to their homes, noise, traffic and what they said was the unresponsiveness on the part of Disney, Whiting-Turner Construction Co. and city officials during months of construction.
“You failed,” said Jennifer Pinkerton, president of the newly-formed Grand Central Neighborhood Assn. “It was Construction 101, and you failed.”
Ed Chuchla, Disney’s senior vice president for corporate real estate, generally declined to go over what happened in the past, but said his company would address every concern.
“I promise that the Walt Disney Company wants nothing more than to have world-class experts look into every claim you’ve made,” Chuchla said. “If there is a problem we caused, we’ll repair it, you bet.”
