The City of Grand Terrace Takes Residents on a Tour

GRAND TERRACE>> On Tuesday, May 16, The City of Grand Terrace organized the Midas Bus Tour, a tour designed to show residents some of the local properties that are either in the process of being developed are all already seeing construction.

The tour was led by City Manager, Harold Duffy, who explained to those on the tour where each site location was in terms of progress. 

One such site was the much anticipated dog park, which is soon to be located at 22270 Vista Grande Way. 

The dog park has been important for a number of reasons. Mainly, because the City of Grand Terrace currently does not have one. 

Duffy explained that the city is currently seeking bids for the property right now. Once the bid is confirmed, the dog park will go to council on and the contract will be awarded on June 13. By October, construction on the dog park will finally begin. 

The city plans to make sure that the dog park is bringing in revenue, rather than taking away funds. To that end, a seperate fund is going to be set up for dog park maintenance. 

On top of that, the city plans to call on volunteers to help keep the dog park maintained. 

The dog park will have two sections. One section will be for small dogs and the other section will be for larger dogs. “But everyone is going to be able to enjoy the view. Regardless of what size the dog is,” joked Duffy.  “We don’t discriminate.” 

The park will allow dogs to run free, but they will have to be leashed before going into the dog park. Owners will also have to pick up their own dog poop. 

The fencing will also ensure that dogs cannot dig under or jump over it. 

The property was originally owned by the cities redevelopment agency, stated Duffy. When redevelopment was ended the city was able to acquire the property from the development.  

Overall, the project is expected to cost the city around $225,000.

As America's most famous highway celebrates its centennial in 2026, San Bernardino reflects on the road that helped shape its neighborhoods, businesses and identity. Long before interstate highways became the preferred routes for cross-country travel, motorists making their way through San Bernardino followed a road that would become one of the most recognizable highways in American history.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
