Turmoil Engulfs Embattled Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan

Turmoil Engulfs Embattled Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan

As publisher of Irvine Community News & Views, from time to time I feel the need to weigh-in personally on important community matters.

Recently, the Voice of OC and Irvine Watchdog have reported on a disturbing 2020 video that has surfaced showing Mayor Farrah Khan attending an event with members of the Turkish community.

In the video, Mayor Khan is seen joking with Ergun Kirlikovali — a notorious Armenian Genocide denier — about making Armenians “disappear.”

Khan then appointed Kirlikovali to her newly-formed Mayor’s Advisory Council and has been seen at a number of events with Kirlikovali by her side.

The City’s Transportation Panel Backs Pedestrian Bridge at Jamboree and Alton

The City’s Transportation Panel Backs Pedestrian Bridge at Jamboree and Alton

On March 15th, the Irvine Transportation Commission approved the location of a second pedestrian bridge over Jamboree Boulevard — this bridge at Alton Parkway. The first bridge over Jamboree Boulevard — at Michelson Drive — will soon be under construction.

Both bridges, plus up to two more in the coming years, are in the Irvine Business Complex (IBC) and are a start on fulfilling some of the resident-oriented improvements outlined in the 2010 “urban village” Vision Plan for the area. The traffic portion of that plan was updated in 2020.

The bridge at the Alton location, which would provide a link to the Diamond Jamboree Shopping Center, was recommended after extensive consultations with residents, business and property owners, the City’s public safety agencies, and other stakeholders.
