Grand Opening for Trail to Nowhere
It’s tomorrow, don’t be late for the Big Event. Let’s let Sanksa Kennedy of the Fullerton Observer spell it all out.
The Grand Opening Ceremony will begin at 10 am at Independence Park, 801 West Valencia Drive, Fullerton. Be among the first to walk, bike, and enjoy this brand-new greenbelt trail connecting our neighborhoods with safe, beautiful, and sustainable pathways. This long-awaited project brings new trees, lighting, and enhanced recreation opportunities right to the heart of our community.
An initiative aimed at transforming an unsightly stretch along an old railroad spur into a vibrant community trail has faced multiple challenges and opposition from a few of the council members, even with $1.78 million in state funding backing it.
After significant community pressure, Council Member Dunlap ultimately changed his stance, voting in favor of the construction contract alongside fellow council members Zahra, Charles, and Valencia. In a not so surprising turn, Mayor Fred Jung stood alone in opposition to the project.
The Union Pacific Trail project stands as a testament to the community’s commitment to development, equity, and civic engagement. Residents are hopeful that this project will be the beginning of more green space for South Fullerton and will create a welcoming space for everyone.
Wow, that’s awful rosy, concluding as facts things that haven’t happened, and of course never will.
Saska is still promoting the same old lie that this boondoggle “connects neighborhoods.” It doesn’t even connect to Phase 1!
Poor Sanka doesn’t seem to grasp the nonsense of an unsightly stretch being the heart of “our community.” Not mentioned is the fact that the unsightly stretch is still there, like it always was and hoping that a silly (and expensive) trail will transform anything is just preposterous wishful thinking.
In Sinka’s tiny brain spending money equates to “equity” regardless of outcome – that’s already been decided by the two dozen drumbeaters for the Trail to Nowhere. She reminds us about the $1.8 million from the State as a reason this should have always been an easy call. She neglects to inform Observers that the City’s cost ballooned from $170,000 to $630,000; but hey it’s a testament, alright. A testament to stupidity and lousy stewardship of public money.
How many of the people who promoted this mess in rhapsodic terms will even be around in a year’s time to calculate the running costs, the graffiti, the crime, the lack of usage, the dead and dying vegetation? None, of course.
Tomorrow this utter waste of $2.3 million will have a hundred parents. In December 2026 it will be an orphan.
A year from now Sanka, Zahra and Charles will NEVER mention this fiasco. OR the UP Park to Nowhere. Dunlap and Valencia will have both on their rap sheets.
Wow, Observer actually posted my thoughts on this.
LOL
They were looking for you.
They generally do, my cunt.
You have no way of knowing what they approve and what they dont. If you actually did, then you would be making a false statement, which I have noticed seems to be your trademark anyway.
Yeah, he’s very MAGA-like. No one can prove anything to my satisfaction, and if I assert something ridiculous you can’t prove me wrong.
Your cunt is of no interest to anyone.
When you take it away there’s no Hoogerbooger anymore.
Hooger ought to think about having his cunt removed. In that way he’ll be less cunty.
Wash your mouth with soap again.
Filthy language shows unintelligence.
You are showing it again, and again.
Take a seat.
D3 voters are going to be reminded of this fiasco.
Hey Joshua. I find it interesting that you only oppose the trails and parks near Bushala’s properties.
That is all. Have a nice day
Pretty sure this guy is against wasting money no matter whose block it is on.
Is that something you are able to understand?
Moron.
I find it interesting that you support any ludicrous waste of millions.
Will you ever even go there? There might be punch and cookies Mr. Transparency.
Oh, I’m there. I want to watch Egleth, Jaramillo and Charles waddle down the trail.
Watchit, bub. Those are public health advocates, not personal health.
What happens when foolish ideology pushes out commonsense. Completely.

This is amazing!!! I’m so excited to see the UP Trail open after a long, hard battle fought by the community. It’s going to be such a treasure.
A treasure. Perfect. We will never hear another word from “Amy” about this disaster in the making.
“What happens when foolish ideology”
What ideology would that be and what does it have to do with any of this?
Best I can see is it’s a matter of world view. It seems like there’s what Bushala wants. Everything else is called “boohoo” or “ideology.”
Waste of time haggling with you. Your small brain can not seem to grasp the concept of waste. Why do you think that is?
Say it was “waste.” Waste is not an ideology. Try again.
The disregard for waste if it satisfies an ideological statisfaction is…ideological.
Agreed
His filthy language should not be allowed.
Let me help you out, world view and ideology-wise:
1) Spending money on the “underserved” is an unalloyed good.
2) Spending LOTS of money on them is even better.
3) Building a trail somewhere, anywhere, is bound to be a treasure.
4) A handful of educated liberals knows what’s best for the “underserved.”
5) A handful of patronizing liberals and bureaucrats represents a “community.”
Amy is even stupider and more obnoxious than you are.
That doesn’t sound like an ideology. That sounds like all the complaints you could come up with.
That’s because you are a stupid ideologue. Like MAGA idiots, infact.
The phony architect image of happy white people using that “trail” is hilarious. Not even the white in SOCO townhouses will use it. They can’t get there and if they could they still wouldn’t. Who wants to be knifed by a drug addled homeless goon?
Temporarily unhoused goon.
You can’t make this level of fatheadedness up.
Sharon Kennedy:
“I noticed that a better safe crossing from Phase 2 to Phase 1 at Highland needs to be created.”
LOL
And the plan said 10 ft cement. It was asphalt and it wasn’t even close to 10ft. Barely wide enough for one bike. The walking dirt portion was maybe 4 ft wide.
Diminishing expectations.
Sharon Kennedy and her dimwitted sister are the two stupidest people in Fullerton. Now Sanka can start promoting Phase 3. It will connect Phase 2 to Phase 1!!
“…hope the city is working on that.”
Hilarious. And no, they’re not working on it. 2 is just as useless as 1. And they don’t even line up.
“Also the park needs a better name. I recommend Egleth Nunnci Park (for her five year tireless effort to get the three negative city council members on board);”
I couldn’t agree more. Tirelessly devoted to stupidity. When the UP Park fails for the second time and for the exact same reasons we will know at least one person to blame. And there won’t be any toxic soil excuse to use.
That’s funny. I think that could be the subject of a post. “Egleth Nunnci Park.” Bring your own protection.
Jung was the only one to vote against it. Maybe he walked it at night and knew what a dumb idea it was in the first place.
He probably got sick of the clamoring boohoos and the Dunlap pussification. Valencia is utterly clueless.
Hopefully those two will also regret their approval.
Wait ’til you see the pictures I took at 3pm this afternoon – opening day!!
Was Alice Loya, the useless lump there to enjoy the punch and cookies? She was the architect of this disaster.
you say trail to nowhere but the trail goes from independence park to UP park
No, it stops at Highland Ave. Knock yourself out making the link as you walk or walk your bike to the light at the bottom of the Highland underpass.
One of our intrepid reporters – William Wallace – went out out to get some images yesterday afternoon – Inauguration Day.
Guess what he discovered. Guess again.
Nobody on the “trail”?
A “vibrant trail.”
A bunch of flats of unplanted plants sitting and rotting along side a graffiti sprayed wall?
(Because that is what I saw.)
Left overs. Take some home. You paid for them.
Hey, if the “boogeyman” has a couple of properties along the “trail”, lets get a couple of Amazon solar cameras put up so we can watch the “public” enjoying themselves.
I think you are a mind reader.
LOL
