From the Email Inbox: Transportation Needs a Unified Approach:

The Freeway-
The Offramps-
The MetroLink-
The Park and Ride
The Need:

Commuters need a Solution: Grand Terrace has undeveloped property along these freeway and rail assets. How can a United Effort Be made?

Could a Parking Structure sell Parking Space for Commuters on the Metro Link, and Carpool, and provide Parking for Drive Through Take Out Healthy Meals for Commuter Pickup? Could the area be a Hydrogen Fuel Station, and A Solar Regeneration Station for Solar Short Trip Vehicles, and LEV's? Could the Parking Structures TOP be a Tennis Club, Top of the Park?

WHO is looking at the Big Picture.

First the Freeway and Off ramps, then the Rail and Parking, and then business and recreation around this, Incorporated to complement each other, not detract from each other. This needs a Master Plan a big view, and a big pocket to finance it and lease the business opportunities to small and large businesses like they do in state recreation areas, and parks. This is bigger than GT Redevelopment, RTCT, SanBag. It looks like a State or Federal Project. These little sub agencies don't have the tool set or enough Viagra to get the job needed done.
