Jurupa Valley public works reports maintenance gains, $26M in projects completed
Summary
City staff told the Public Works Committee they closed about 4,400 service requests this fiscal year, cut pothole-related requests after major repaving, and completed roughly $26 million in capital projects; staff also outlined multi-year bridge and signal projects affecting local traffic.
City of Jurupa Valley public works staff told the Public Works Committee on June 11 that crews closed roughly 4,400 service requests in the last fiscal year and made measurable progress on street and park maintenance.
An agency official said, “we completed the fiscal year, just over about, I think, 4,400 service requests that were closed for the year,” and noted illegal-dumping calls have fallen from nearly half of requests to about 38 percent. Staff credited a recent repaving push on major corridors — including Etiwanda, Van Buren and Mission — for reducing pothole-related service requests to about 16 percent of the workload.
Maria Frazier, who presented the capital-improvement program update, said the city has completed about $26,000,000 in projects this fiscal year, including Market Street work, Mission Phase 3 and the annual slurry program. “We have completed about $26,000,000 worth of projects,” Frazier said.
Frazier described several active and upcoming projects: a near-complete citywide traffic-signal interconnect (about 99.9 percent finished), Mira Loma and Agate Safe Routes to School projects (under construction with staggered delivery dates), Pacific Avenue Phase 2 (delayed late in the schedule by flood-control permitting) and a 24th Street signal whose completion depends on long lead times for poles and materials.
Staff also highlighted sidewalk repairs in Sunnyslope — nearly 100 sidewalk panels lifted by tree roots were removed and replaced — and a new program to install branded street signs on major corridors and at city entry points. On urban forestry, staff reported planting 70 trees and removing 59 this year and beginning a grid-pruning program that will prune about 2,600 trees annually going forward.
On a county-led infrastructure project, Frazier said the Mission Bridge replacement is a large, multi-year effort. She referred to a county estimate of about $59 million for that replacement and said the city’s cost-sharing agreement is part of the project financing; elsewhere in the presentation she referenced a $58 million figure in the same discussion, an inconsistency staff will need to reconcile.
Staff concluded that many projects are still in design, with timelines conditioned on permits, material lead times and weather. The committee asked staff to follow up with additional schedule details and to return with any changes to cost-sharing agreements or construction phasing.
The committee did not take formal action on these project updates; staff said they would provide follow-up details to committee members and the public.
