(RCTC-GM) Riverside County Transportation Commission General Meeting - Regular Meeting — August 12, 2026
Golden Era Productions representatives urged RCTC to scrutinize the county's plan to demolish and replace the 1926 Gilman Springs Road bridge over Pacheco Creek rather than rehabilitate it, citing a 2024 Caltrans inspection finding the bridge not structurally deficient. They worry the realigned, higher-speed design (50 mph design / 45 mph posted) could worsen safety on an already crash-prone road.
