From the Email InBox: The Survey......

Of course the City Council will call the survey a success. According to the people west of Mt Vernon, everything is fine. They will not be impacted by the dense development planned for the neighborhoods around Barton Road and Michigan.

The people of GT are not against senior housing. They are against three story buildings and the use of park land which cannot be used by children because they want to make it a park for the senior center.

They are against big box stores on Barton Road, not along the freeway.

The survey was so ambiguous, just like the mayors considerations for what flowers to plant in the projects. The big picture is much more important.

What will happen to Grand Terrace when they open up the thorough ways, build big box stores like Lowes, Best Buy, or Wal-Mart on Barton Road? Have you tried to get through Redlands or any of the surrounding cities any time of the day? Do we really want Grand Terrace to be the same way?

Our City Council should be looking to the future generations. Do they really want to leave bumper-to-bumper traffic, unbreathable air, and no place for kids to get involved and stay out of trouble?

How can anyone say they like the way the city is going, when staff and council have not been honest in their intentions. The only communication our city receives is propaganda from the Blue Mountain. Why is it none of the projects built in GT turn out they way they were proposed to the Planning Commission or the Council?

The truth is never public knowledge. They only way to find out if I am correct is by following a project yourself
