This situation is brought to Grand Terrace as a result of the Senior Housing not being located on Barton Road where it was planned in the General Plan and the Recommended as a better option by the City's Revised Environmental Impact Study and needless to say input from many citizens at the CRA and City Council Meetings. If the Senior Housing had been built on Barton Road, the majority of the Seniors could have used the existing transportation services. Perhaps it was the Council's intent to get rid of Public Transportation in GT after all, RICH PEOPLE don't ride buses, it is all about image with 3 of them.
