IE Business Daily Business news for the Inland Empire.
Apple Valley has received a $9.9 million federal grant that it will use for street improvements.
That funding from the Safe Streets for All program will help pay for upgrades along 3.4 miles of Dale Evans Parkway, Thunderbird Road, and Otoe Road, according to a statement on the town’s website.
The Complete Streets Implementation Project will install protected pedestrian and bicycle facilities, high-visibility crosswalks, and curb ramps that are compliant with the Americans With Disability Act.
The improvements will increase access to underserved parts of the town. They’re designed to create safe routes to schools, parks, transit, healthcare, and employment centers.
A construction timeline has not been announced. Apple Valley plans to add $2.5 million from its Measure I transportation funds to the federal grant, according to the statement.
Please save some of those funds for the northern sector of Rancherias Road. From Zuni north past Yuma Road.
This area is in dire need of repaving at minimum.
From Thunderbird north to Carlisle Road, there is great need for a bike lane/pedestrian path, for the many residents that do not have cars.
