San Gabriel Valley : WATER WORDS
- Share via
La Verne city officials say a county environmental assessment of development plans for neighboring San Dimas’ Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park is inaccurate and flawed.
The proposal, which would further develop the park and expand Raging Waters, has been hotly debated by neighboring cities since 1990.
Although La Verne is a member of the Bonelli Park and Recreation Area Authority that oversees the county-owned park, the city felt it necessary to issue its own analysis of the environmental impact report. That report had concluded that a 32.1-acre expansion of the water amusement park would have no significant environmental effects.
But La Verne’s analysis held that such conclusions are inconsistent with the facts, specially given the report’s scant attention to the effects of bringing another 750,000 visitors to the park each year, said community development director Steve Preston.
