The City Clerk read a letter from an unidentified speaker voicing support of the development off of Felspar and Van Buren as it will bring more affordable homes to the community. The individual stated that due to rising housing costs, the City should be considering even higher density housing projects.
The City Clerk read a letter from Renae Rock and Yesenia Villagomez requesting that the City Council allocate funds to address serious flooding issues in Mira Loma and to address the problems with the newly installed curb which is interfering with the horse trail.
Wayne Brown, representing the Riverside County Transportation Commission gave an update on an upcoming weekend road closure on the southbound I-15 freeway at the 91 freeway interchange.
A speaker identified as Lorena asked the Council to take care of residents and invest in the community by providing a permanent fix to the flooding in Mira Loma, especially on 48th and 50th streets. She also asked that something be done about the newly installed curbs that are dangerous to people and horses.
A speaker identified as Patricia asked for help regarding the flooding on 48th Street which is causing various health and safety concerns.
Deanna Conner requested that the Council remove the new asphalt curbs on 48th Street and to repair the drainage issues in Mira Loma. She noted that the curbs have created a safety hazard for people and horses. She stated that because of the curbs, the U.S. Postal Service has required that many of the mailboxes be moved forward which creates an unsafe corridor to ride horses.
Renae Rock encouraged the Council to listen to their constituents as they are concerned that their issues are continuing to fall on deaf ears. She outlined the issues that are occurring in Mira Loma which involve dangerous curbs and a lack of proper drainage. She encouraged the Council to visit the area to see it for themselves.
