Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Riverside County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
SR-91 Eastbound Corridor Operations Project
The 91 ECOP will add an operational lane on eastbound 91 between the 241 and 71 connectors to cut congestion and improve safety. Two funding agreements now move to the full Commission, with construction targeted for completion in 2030.
Truck routes and AB 98 compliance
The state requires Riverside County to designate truck routes in its general plan to keep heavy trucks off residential streets and away from schools, parks, and hospitals. The county missed the January 2026 deadline and is reporting monthly to the Attorney General while it completes outreach. Residents are contesting specific routes through Mead Valley, Nuevo, and Temescal Valley.
I-10/Highland Springs Interchange Extension
A second TUMF amendment extends the I-10/Highland Springs interchange project timeline to the end of 2036, with funding capped at $5.5 million.
Regional transportation funding through TUMF
Two TUMF amendments will reimburse Wildomar up to $5.36 million for the Palomar Road project and the County up to $9.2 million for the Rancho California Road–Calle Contento roundabout — real money flowing to congestion relief in Southwest County.
