There has also been evidence that a local large construction company has been retained as the contractor. Well, local as in Head Quartered in Riverside. The pending court hearing will test the issues raised about the density of the proposed plan, and the parking/traffic plan which seem to those who object to the most current presentation of the Plan Presented.

Location of the Senior Center/Housing is also at issue, even the City's EIR said it would be better located on Barton Road where the Density and Use would be more harmonious with the surrounding uses, and be closer to public transportation and facilities used by the residents. To say the people backing the law suit "Object" to senior housing in GT is a misrepresentation of the facts. The OBJECTIONS are not to Senior Housing or the Senior Center. The objection is this design, and location, and density and traffic of THIS Plan and Site. It would be reffreshing if it would be reported accurately, so that people don't get bent on emotional statements like, "they don't like seniors", or "they don't like low income people", or such statements which have little to do with the issues being objected to.
