Gov Arnold Declaired State of Emergency: GT Needs to Act

The Governor of the State of California declared a State of Emergency in the face of the storm threat. Well our City needs to declare a City Wide State of Emergency and get in line for post emergency clean up and repair funds.

Yes this is a heavy rain... No it is not unusual this happens about every 10 to 40 years and if we fail to build for it we will repeat and repeat and repeat the flooding conditions and road damage and so forth and it will just be or should be a part of our budget to expect to pay for road repair and flood damage.

The City has closed Barton Road from Honey Hill to Colton & Mt. Vernon Ave. from Grand Terrace Road to Colton due to sliding. The road will remain closed until the debris has been cleared. Staff is working with the City of Colton to reopen the roads as soon as possible.

Posted on: December 21, 2010 ROAD IS NOW OPEN BUT EXPECT FUTURE CLOSURES AT ANY TIME

Road Closure - Grand Terrace Road from Vivienda Ave. to Newport Ave.

Grand Terrace Road between Newport Avenue and Vivienda Avenue has been closed due to a road failure. Residents will still have access to their homes. The City will be investigating the cost associated with the repairs. The road will remain closed until further notice.

To help you find your way to San Bernardino Area appointments you can still make your way North and into the San Bernardio / Metro Loma Linda & Redlands areas by snaking your way around via La Cadena for now...

Shopping can still be accessed in Riverside via the freeway and or La Cadena or Michigan to Iowa.

Be careful out there folks.

Also if you see a clear patch on the Doppler 7000 look how fast it is moving and judge your travel time to be when the rain has ended. Drive slow and make sure you have space enough to stop with wet brakes.
