Who Should Do What?

The Federal Government should audit the RDA's Use of Funds:
California Department Of Transportation Should: Stop All New Construction along the 215 corridor, Including Barton Road so that there will not be any father increase in cost to relocate or replace damage caused by freeway construction.

Colton Joint Unified School District Should: File a letter of intent on all or part of the Remaining Land in Grand Terrace as a New Site for Grand Terrace Elementary School may be required in Part or Whole as a result of Construction of the 215.

Grand Terrace Historical Society Should: Get the Old School Building (Current Lions Club) Designated as a Building of Historical Significance, and get it Protected to some degree, IF it does not “HAVE” to be removed due to Freeway or School Construction it should remain a part of the City.
The County Library, CJUSD, and Our Friends of the Library Should: Develop a working plan including the budget to build and run a new Library in GT. Locating it NEAR the High School or Middle School, or some place NOT in a BUSY RETAIL AREA.

The City Should Stop all Construction Plans and Redevelopment Plans: until all the above is done, and A LONG RANGE PLAN is in sight, and inclusive of the total needs of the Community. Increased Redevelopment Costs will result if businesses have to be relocated several times.
STOP: LOOK: LISTEN: WAIT: REPLAN:
