City Receives $25.3 Million Grant!

The City of Moreno Valley has received $25.3 million in funding from the State of California Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP) to secure the right-of-way for the SR 60/World Logistics Center Parkway Interchange Improvement Project.

 

The grant is part of a larger initiative in Southern California and the Inland Empire that aims to enhance safety, relieve congestion, reduce travel time, and improve trip reliability and movement of goods and people while improving bicycle and pedestrian access and safety to promote multimodal connectivity and usage.

 

“The improvements enabled by this grant will help to enhance safety, relieve congestion and reduce travel time for everyday commuters and truckers alike, building a safer, stronger, and more connected community,” said Moreno Valley Mayor Ulises Cabrera. “We extend our gratitude to Caltrans District 8, CTC, and all our local, state, and federal partners who helped make this possible.”

 

The project will provide a new SR-60/World Logistics Center (WLC) Parkway interchange with new elements that meet current standards and future trip demands, including:

 

  • New Interchange overcrossing bridge with vertical clearance exceeding current standards
  • Two new roundabouts
  • New On- and Off-ramps and meters
  • Traffic Management System Improvements
  • Provision for CHP enforcement areas
  • Provisions for pedestrian and bicycle crossing facilities for pedestrian and bicycle crossing facilities

 

The project is on SR-60, which is identified as a Critical Rural Freight Corridor (CRFC) and an integral part of regional and national goods movement. When completed, it is expected to reduce person-hours traveled by more than 1,596,000 over the 20-year period, which is the equivalent of $19.1 million in travel time savings. The reduction in truck delay will also lead to more efficient travel into and around the Inland Empire. The safety improvements to the corridor are expected to avoid 13 fatalities and 210 injuries for the 20-year period.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.
