Town of Apple Valley completes Safe Routes to School projects
Victorville Daily Press
When on-campus classes begin, students who walk or bike to four local schools will have safer routes to travel after the Town of Apple Valley completed several roadway improvement projects.
Town officials announced Monday that the completed improvements were identified as priorities in the “Town’s Safe Routes to Schools Master Plan” that was adopted by the Town Council in 2017.
The projects focused on the most commonly used routes to Sandia Academy, Apple Valley High School, Mariana Academy and the Rio Vista School of Applied Learning.
The Apple Valley Unified School District announced Friday that beginning March 8, the district will return to its hybrid, in-person model for preschool and transitional kindergarten through 6th grades.
Fairfield seeks funds for former bowling alley site project
FAIRFIELD Strings attached to various funding sources could leave a money gap to build out the full vision the city has for the old Fairfield Bowl site on North Texas Street.
The City Council on Tuesday agreed to submit an $8.5 million application to the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program to fund the Linear Park Trail Revitalization – Node 4A Project.
The city had applied during a previous round of funding, but the project was not chosen. State officials advised Fairfield not to include the recreation facility in its next application.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the letter dated Jan. 3 regarding the Napa Valley Transportation Authority s Vine Transit Services ( Bus system should have been planned better ).
Prior to the pandemic, the Vine provided over 1 million transit trips in fiscal year 2019-20. Since the pandemic, ridership has dropped off by almost 80% but it is slowly coming back and the agency staff anticipate that ridership will be fully restored when the pandemic ends. During the pandemic, bus services nationwide - particularly those in suburban and rural areas - did not experience the same precipitous ridership drop as commuter services. This is because smaller systems, like the Vine, provide critical mobility for members of the community that cannot drive or choose not to drive. Providing services to the most disadvantaged members of the community is a key objective for the agency.
Orange County’s 1st Streetcar on Its Way, Even as OCTA Faces Challenges
Orange County installed its first modern streetcar rail set in Santa Ana’s historic downtown this month.
The rail was laid between Santa Ana Boulevard and Bristol Street, and crews are working to install more rail sets westbound toward Raitt Street.
“I’m proud that, despite the difficulties of the pandemic, the OC Streetcar project has continued to move forward to reach this milestone moment,” Santa Ana Mayor Vicente Sarmiento said in a press release.
“The Streetcar will revitalize businesses along its route, better connect residents with essential services, and will augment our public transit options while taking more automobiles off of the streets.”
