Senior Villas

The Blue Mountain OUtlook reported the planned park. It was a beautiful idea, but why are they sticking it on the edge of town. Wouldn't that be a great idea for Barton Road. Seniors already live on Barton Road. Coupled with the library and ice cream parlor, Barnes and Noblea,restaurants, etc. Too bad our Planning Department didn't come up with the idea. They would be heroes.

Another item reported is the "inspection and rental fee for all rental properties. Let's see, The OAC, Barton Road Development, and the recent passing of increased rental units on Washington and Deberry, Preston Road, and Reed and Deberry. --- I'm beginning to get the picture.

Studies have shown that Grand Terrace is already in the path of three major pollution sources and is has reached it's tolerance. Sooooo more cars and trucks is a good idea?

It also mentioned that Grand Terrace has its soccer, baseball fields and playgrounds for our children, not to forget the bit "Halloween festival". Give me a break. Kids are a 24 hour responsibility and raising "takes a village". Playing sports in Grand Terrace is not affordable, but it is a necessity. The City isn't giving us anything. They make money off the kids too.

Call it creative business, call it balancing the books. I call it "Elected Officials not listening to the people as they promissed. That makes them dishonest. Why are they not accountable to the Citizens. Have you noticed the air or arrogance at the meetings. Let's get over it and get on with taking care of our City. Come to the Council Meetings and Planning Meetings with your ideas and solutions. Let's roll up our sleves and get to work.

The City can no longer take property by emanant domain on Barton Road because they are creating an unsafe environment. This does not contribute to anything but themselves.

Now that is a great Idea... I like this mid town park/Senior Center... It would put the Seniors on the bus line... And the current location of the Senior center could become the Dogpark/Concert Center/ And Animal Center for 4H barns... and a community garden... hmmm a great idea..
