Three Eastvale officials recently joined a 24-city delegation in Washington, D.C. in an attempt to get the city one zip code.
Mayor Mike McMinn, Councilmember Christian Dinco, and Economic Development Manager Alexander Fung met with senators and congressmen to discuss the problem that has plagued Eastvale since it incorporated in 2010, according to a statement on the city’s website.
Currently, Eastvale shares zip codes with Mira Loma, Jurupa Valley, Corona and Chino, causing mail to be delivered to incorrect locations.
“Eastvale residents and businesses deserve a ZIP code that reflects the community they live and work in,” McMinnville said in the statement. “Outdated ZIP code boundaries create confusion for first responders, delay important deliveries, and divert critical revenue away from our city.”
In July, the House of Representatives passed a bill sponsored by Ken Calvert, (R-Corona) and Norma Torres (D-Ontario) that would give Eastvale one zip code. That bill has yet to be addressed by the Senate.
