Resident urges daylighting ordinance, generator requirements and transit fixes during Wildomar public comment
Summary
During public comment a Wildomar resident urged the city to adopt and enforce a daylighting ordinance at intersections, require critical facilities to have generators, improve code enforcement of obstructing hedges, and to address limited bus service on the west side of the valley.
A Wildomar resident used the public comment period to press the City Council on several public-safety and service issues, urging the city to adopt and enforce a daylighting ordinance, require generators at key facilities and push for better bus service.
The speaker said intersections with obstructing vegetation force drivers to move into traffic to make turns and called for enforcement of the city's fence and sight-line rules. They referenced a "daylighting ordinance, AV 413," and said such a code would "allow code enforcement to issue administrative citations" if the city adopts the ordinance language.
The resident also proposed that critical infrastructure — including gas stations and supermarkets — be required to have generators so they can serve the public during outages. The comment came the same night council said it had experienced unstable power at City Hall and had shortened the agenda in case the power failed.
On transit the speaker criticized the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) service pattern, saying the system left the valley's west side with effectively no bus service after a Walmart closure and that holiday service is absent. The commenter urged more reliable routes and respectful treatment of riders by local charities distributing food.
Council members did not take immediate action during the comment period; the remarks were recorded as public comment only. Nolan King, speaking separately, later praised the strong applicant pool for Planning Commission openings and supported specific nominees.
The council’s staff and members did not cite any immediate ordinance referrals during the meeting; the speaker’s suggestions will remain as public input unless the council places the measures on a future agenda.
