In Ontario, the City Council voted on a resolution to initiate eminent domain proceedings against several businesses for a project that is intended to improve traffic conditions at a rail crossing on Milliken Avenue. The city is seeking easements on two businesses, including a distribution center for Sears and Kmart stores. The Daily Bulletin provides this description of the project:
