At the June 5 meeting of the Bloomington Municipal Advisory Council, participants raised concerns that Union Pacific Railroad is building a large facility between Colton and Fontana and that the project is bringing a substantial increase in truck traffic onto local roads.
The concern was raised under the meeting’s new-business portion when a participant reported that the facility is "bringing a lot of trucks on the roads, and this is being done without informing the community." The transcript does not identify the speaker who raised the point or provide supporting project documents.
Council members and meeting participants emphasized traffic and notice as the primary community impacts of the project. No formal motion, vote, or referral was recorded in the transcript regarding the Union Pacific facility; the issue was put on the record during new business for the council and is available in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: the item was recorded under new business; the transcript does not show staff direction, a referral, or a scheduled follow-up. The next MAC meeting is set for Aug. 7, 2024.
