Council approves Measure A funding program list for 2025–26, staffs says Pacific Phase 2 to bid soon
Summary
The council approved the city’s Measure A five-year program listing (transportation projects) and staff said Pacific Avenue Phase 2 design is ready for bidding and expected to come back for a summer construction contract.
Jurupa Valley councilmembers approved the city’s Measure A program — the annual list of locally planned transportation projects funded from Riverside County’s Measure A half-cent sales tax — during the consent calendar Thursday. Staff told the council the city receives about $3 million annually from Measure A and that the list submitted to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) shows the projects tentatively planned for the coming year.
Why it matters: Measure A funds are dedicated to transportation projects. The program listing is required by RCTC so cities may receive the sales-tax allocation; it also helps staff plan which streets and projects to match with state grants and other sources.
Details and follow-up: Staff emphasized the list is for funding-flow purposes; individual project construction contracts will return to council for approval. Staff said Measure A does not fully fund large projects and that the city often combines Measure A with other funding (gas tax, CDBG, state grants) to complete projects. Pacific Avenue Phase 2 — which will add curb, gutter, drainage and sidewalks and will connect to Lemonite Avenue — is described as being near ready for bid and staff anticipated bringing a construction contract back before summer.
Council and community notes: Councilmembers discussed how Measure A is one of several funding streams used for street repair and sidewalk work and noted the city will re-submit project lists annually to reflect changing priorities. The council also discussed how Measure A often serves as matching funds on state grant projects.
