215 in 2015

The latest news is that the widening of the 215 will be underway in the year 2015... that is a few months more than 7 years from now...

Here is the problem. With the New Freeway and Off ramps GT RDA and all the land owners affected should be given notice of the design and land required for the project and the land should be acquired by the state or held by the CJUSD or the City until the final designs are done.

YES GT ELM should be able to hold on to or limit the re-use or new construction on all property adjacent to the ELM School it could then use the option to acquire the land at a reasonable cost rather than trying to replace a 7 year old business.

IF businesses are allowed to be on any property it should be with the understanding that it is a temporary site. Perhaps even allowing short term crops, or animals on the land in the interim. Perhaps a temporary place for nursery stock, or ??? BUT, NO NEW construction of homes or businesses until Cal Trans/SanBag are done with their designs.

A Bus Pick Up and Drop off for Commuters going to Orange County or Riverside would be nice, and we must remember existing businesses have the first option on relocation. well first after the school.

As welcome as the improved freeway is, we should keep the expense down as much as we can as a city.
