Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rancho Cucamonga public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Etiwanda Depot Surplus Land
Residents urged the council to block affordable housing on the old depot site and instead build a park honoring the area's citrus and railway history. The mayor assured the speaker the depot will be protected.
Youth sports field shortage
Vineyard Little League leaders told the council the city has lost five playing fields, cutting fall games by 30%, and the league has no home field with opening day five months away. They asked the city to work on a solution.
Parkland acquisition north of Victoria (Quimby Act)
A resident urged the city to buy roughly 700 acres' worth of planned parkland between Etiwanda and East Avenue north of Victoria, possibly using COPs financing and a joint venture with the high school district, before higher-density development forecloses the option.
Dog park maintenance and safety at Spruce and Baseline
Multiple speakers said the dog park is unsanitary — broken fountains, urine-soaked concrete, closed areas forcing dogs together, and aggressive-dog incidents with no accountability system.
