FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The City of Irvine is working to improve safety and accessibility along the Venta Spur Trail and is seeking community input.
Residents are invited to help shape the Venta Spur Trail Crossings Improvement Project, which will evaluate street crossings along the trail that do not currently have traffic signals. Community members can share their experiences and feedback by attending a public meeting and completing a brief survey.
Join staff in the Public Works & Sustainability Department Wednesday, March 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Northwood Community Center to learn about the improvement project, ask questions, and connect with the project team.
Stretching 3.7 miles, the Venta Spur Trail follows the route of a former railroad spur that once served packing houses on the historic Irvine Ranch. Today, the trail serves as an important connection to the City's past as well as a vital part of Irvine's vast trail network. Residents are encouraged to help shape its future by attending the meeting and participating in the survey.
To take the survey and learn more, visit cityofirvine.org/transportationstudies.
