After blazing a new trail permitting the retail sale of cannabis last week, this week Council will focus on one of Riverside’s oldest trails. If it receives just 5 affirmative votes, $1,470,470 will be awarded to Onyx Paving Company for repaving of the Mt. Rubidoux trail. The proposed project includes maintenance and repair work to the asphalt trail as well as modifications to improve accessibility for fire vehicles during 4th of July fireworks events.

If approved, dollars for this project will be transferred from the City’s Measure Z fund to cover the project costs.
City Council set to consider a 23-unit affordable housing project in La Sierra, a 24-station electric vehicle charging hub at the Riverside Airport, and the $2.4 million purchase of electric trucks for its fleet.
City Council does not meet this week. Potentially stricter rules for industrial development near neighborhoods and a review of the City’s homelessness outreach and cleanup spending are on committee and commission agendas this week.
