caused devastating damage, according to the City of Eastvale.
“In a fire, mere seconds can mean the difference between a safe escape
and a tragedy,” states the City. “Fire safety education isn’t just for school
children. Teenagers, adults, and the elderly are also at risk in fires, making
it important for every member of the community to take some time every October
during Fire Prevention Week to make sure they understand how to stay safe in
case of a fire.”
Another big project we have all been waiting to be completed is the I-15 Limonite Avenue Interchange Project.
The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will take place on November 14, from 9 a.m. to
10:30 a.m. The ceremony will be held at the Park & Ride located at 12105
Limonite Avenue, Jurupa Valley.

overcrossing; 3-through lanes in each direction plus 2 turn lanes; widening of
the off-ramps from two to four lanes; the addition of two new loop on-ramps;
and widening of Limonite to four lanes in each direction between Hamner Avenue

Heroes will be located at
Hamner Place, located at the intersection of Hamner Avenue and Schleisman Road,
bringing a new dining experience to our city.
We’ve heard our residents
loud and clear when it comes to elevating dining experiences in Eastvale and we
couldn’t agree more! The Eastvale community deserves a diverse variety of
options for family outings and special occasions.
This past year, we have
been working hard on restaurant recruitment and attraction. We surveyed all our
restaurants to identify what type of dining options were missing. We also
conducted a Restaurant Feedback Questionnaire to better understand our
community’s ideas on future development of restaurants in our community.
It was important to the
City that residents help lead us in the right direction as we focus on
recruitment and attraction as part of Economic Development. Since then, we have
been meeting with restaurateurs to identify how we can elevate dining
experiences in Eastvale.
Stay tuned for more
exciting news regarding dining experiences!

Eastvale – Eastvale continues to grow as new restaurants,
centers, and businesses are coming to town.
The newest edition to the Eastvale community is DICK’s Sporting
Goods. DICK’s is expected to open in summer
2019, bringing a new look to the Eastvale Gateway Center.
“Eastvale is an active community where both adults and
children participate in sporting events,” said Mayor Todd Rigby in an
announcement on May 9. “We have numerous sports leagues for our residents to
participate in. We are excited for DICK’S Sporting Goods to open a location in
Eastvale!”
DICK’s is a popular sporting goods store that sells high
quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear, and accessories. Their products include some of the most
popular name brands in the sporting business. In addition, DICK’s provides great customer
service and offers exclusive deals on various products. Their Eastvale store will be a great edition
to the Eastvale Gateway Center.
Lewis Retail Centers is also pleased to partner with DICK’S
Sporting Goods to open their newest location.
“Lewis Retail Centers is dedicated to working with cities and businesses
to build strong and vibrant communities,” said Eastvale Gateway Developer,
Randall Lewis, in a news release. “We love being a part of Eastvale’s amazing
growth and know DICK’S Sporting Goods will be warmly received by Eastvale’s
wonderful community.”
“We are excited to have the largest sporting retail store in
the country coming to Eastvale,” added City manager Bryan Jones. “We encourage
our very active community to shop local for all of their sporting good needs!”
In addition to DICK’s coming to Eastvale, the Vista Medical
Group has officially started construction.
Their Ground Breaking Ceremony took place on April 19. The Eastvale location will be at the
Marketplace at the Enclave, which is at the corner of Schleisman Road and
Archibald Avenue. This will be Vista
Medical Groups’ fourth location and their largest yet, according to the City of
Eastvale.
Vista Medical Group is a family practice that strives to
provide quality and affordable healthcare.
Their new location will offer urgent care, occupational medicine, and
general health care services for patients of all ages.
Eastvale – The City of Eastvale officially announced that
Sprouts Farmers Market will be coming to Eastvale! The grocery store is expected to open in summer
2020, according to the City. The new Sprouts
will be located at the future Merge Retail Center on the northeast corner of
Archibald Avenue and Limonite Avenue. The
store will bring approximately 140 career opportunities to the Eastvale
community.
Many community members expressed their
excitement of being able to shop locally for healthy items. When the City of Eastvale announced the
opening on their Facebook page, thousands of community members liked the post
and hundreds commented on the page. The
post was also shared 253 times in an effort to spread the news to family and
friends.
Mayor Todd Rigby was also pleased to
announce the opening of Sprouts and discussed how the store will benefit the
Eastvale community. “With Sprouts coming to
the northwest portion of our city, this will help to provide a grocery store to
our residents in that area of town,” said Rigby. “We look forward to adding Sprouts to the
successful businesses we have here in Eastvale. This addition will give our
residents another healthy and economical shopping choice.”
Sprouts Farmers Market is a grocery
store with fresh, natural, and organic products at affordable prices. As one of the fastest growing retailers in
the country, Sprouts offers bulk foods, vitamins and supplements, bakery, and so
much more. Be sure to check out their
Butcher Shop, Fish Market, and Market Corner Deli for high-quality meat, seafood,
and freshly prepared entrees and sides.
The Eastvale Sprouts will not be the
only business in the Merge Retail Center.
Starbucks was recently announced to join Sprouts in the same
center. In addition, a Walmart
Superstore will be located across the street at the southeast corner of the
same intersection. The City announced
that Walmart is expected to open in 2022.
Also, Archibald Avenue plans to be widened as part of The Merge project.
The Merge is a 26-acre retail and light industrial center that
will include seven industrial business park buildings, a plaza with a stage,
and other unique features that are expected to benefit the Eastvale community
of 73,700 residents. The center is a 336,000
and a 70,000 sq. retail center, anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market.
“The Merge project is a
true collaboration between the City of Eastvale and Orbis to deliver the best
product possible,” said Managing Partner from Orbis Real Estate Partners,
Grant Ross. “This development will be where business and community come
together.”
Eastvale– Safety continues to be a top focus for the City of Eastvale and we are prioritizing community safety in an effort to maintain a safe environment for our community to live, work, play, and shop. We are working hard to enhance the safety in our community through collaborative endeavors that include advancements in public safety, investments in technology, and the active participation of residents in the Neighborhood Watch Program.
Additional Motorcycle Officer and Additional Patrol Hours
The Eastvale City Council heard the community’s desire for
increase public safety and in February 2018, they approved an additional
Motorcycle Officer position to enhance the safety of our roadways. Most recently,
we welcomed our second Eastvale Police Department Motorcycle Officer, Deputy
Lionel Murphy, who will be joining our current Motorcycle Officer, Deputy Paul
Lonthair in keeping our streets safe through enforcement. City Council also
approved 10 additional patrol hours, which equates to two additional deputies
and are anticipated to come in the next year.
“We would like to welcome our new Motorcycle Officer, Deputy
Lionel Murphy to the Eastvale Police Department family. I am confident that the
addition of Deputy Murphy will help reduce the number of traffic collisions and
increase the overall safety of the city.”
ALPR (Automated License Plate Reader) Program
We believe advancements in technology is one of the most
crucial parts of public safety. The City of Eastvale is in the process of
implementing an ALPR (Automated License Plate Reader) Program. ALPR cameras
will be installed on patrol vehicles as well as various entry and exit points
to the city. This tool will help our Police Department combat and deter crime,
assist with investigations, and help identify wanted vehicles.
Streetlight Acquisition
We also believe that increased visibility through lighting
is another important part of safety and are pleased to announce that the City
of Eastvale purchased 4,078 streetlights located within city limits from
Southern California Edison (SCE). Previously, these streetlights were owned by
SCE and maintained by the Jurupa Community Services District. With the
partnership of the Western Riverside Council of Governments, the City of
Eastvale will acquire all eligible streetlights in Eastvale. As part of the
acquisition, the City looks forward to retrofitting each streetlight with Light
Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures; an environmentally friendly alternative to
traditional lighting. LED lights align with the City’s strategic goal to
enhance public safety by using less energy and producing a more natural light
on street surfaces. Acquisition of these street lights will also serve as a
revenue stream for the City of Eastvale while we bring better cell phone and
internet carrier service to the city.
Neighborhood Watch Program
We know that community safety cannot be fully achieved
without the help from our community and Eastvale is the only city in the nation
to have every residential neighborhood engaged in the Neighborhood Watch
Program. In 2017, Mayor Todd Rigby, Mayor Pro Tem Brandon Plott, and community
member, Don Pettinger began the implementation of the Neighborhood Watch
Program in an effort to bring residents together to help combat and deter crime
in their neighborhoods.
Today, all twenty-nine neighborhoods in Eastvale have
Neighborhood Watch Groups established, there is a total of 60 Block Captains
who meet quarterly, and every neighborhood entry and exit have Neighborhood
Watch signs installed. Social media has played a key piece to the Neighborhood
Watch Program and residents have shared valuable information through the
“Eastvale Crime Watch & Reporting” Facebook page. In addition to
communicating through social media, Neighborhood Watch Meetings take place
throughout the year and have approximately sixty-five residents in attendance
on average.
“On behalf of the Eastvale Police
Department, I would like to thank the community for their continued support and
for sharing valuable information with us, which has led to the immediate
apprehension of several suspects,” Chief Tim Martin said.
The significant decrease in mail thefts was the first of
many success stories that the Neighborhood Watch Program experienced. With the
increase of communication and residents implementing crime prevention measures
to their homes, the average mail thefts reported per month decreased from
twenty-six in 2017 to six in 2018.
Camera Database Program
One of the other successes the Neighborhood Watch Program
has had is their camera database program which allow residents to input their
surveillance system information in a database for law enforcement access.
Approximately ten different arrests have been made with the help of this
database in place. This program truly shows the amount of pride residents have
for the city they live in and that they are passionate about being a part of
enhancing safety in their community. Residents can share their surveillance
system information to be included in this database by visiting:
http://bit.ly/eastvalecameradatabase.
Proactive Enforcement
Lastly, the safety in our community would not be possible
without the continued proactive efforts made by the Eastvale Police Department.
We recently recognized our local Special Enforcement Team (SET) and the
Marijuana Eradication Team (MET) for an award recently received by the
California Narcotics Officers Association for outstanding Quality of Life
Investigations involving indoor marijuana grow houses. We are incredibly
grateful for the deputies who serve our city every day to keep us safe and
maintain the quality of life in Eastvale.
Aggressive Solicitation Ordinance
To address aggressive solicitation, City Council adopted an
“Aggressive Solicitation” ordinance on May 2018 and also installed “It’s Ok To
Say No To Panhandling” signs throughout the City. We want residents to feel
comfortable enjoying our community and the aggressive solicitation ordinance
seeks to enhance resident safety by prohibiting solicitation in an aggressive
manner. This ordinance allows deputies to respond to incidents of solicitation
that either put the person being asked for money in danger or are done in such
a manner to make an individual feel as if they have no choice but to donate
money.
“As a community, it is important for us to partner together
in achieving a safer city,” Mayor Todd Rigby said. “With the residents
embracing the Neighborhood Watch Program, the City installing new technology,
and the Police Department increasing patrol hours and adding an additional
Motorcycle Officer, we are seeing the results of a safer community. I look
forward to the continued involvement of our community in being committed to
keeping our residents, businesses, and visitors safe in our city.”
“Together, we can send a message that Eastvale has created a
multiprong approach of preventing and solving crime to enhance the quality of
life and safety,” City Manager Bryan Jones said. “I am confident that all of us
in Eastvale will continue to collaboratively invest our time and energy in
resources to elevate community safety. We all deserve the opportunity to thrive
in the place we call home!”
The City of Eastvale would like to remind its residents and
businesses to be vigilant by reporting suspicious and criminal activity as soon
as its seen to the Eastvale Police Department. If you see something, say
something. Maintaining a safe environment is a team effort and we are grateful
for our team that is made up of our Eastvale Police Department, residents,
businesses, and partnering agencies. Together, we are best.

Staff Reports
Eastvale– A new In-N-Out and Starbucks have officially opened in Eastvale! Community members have expressed their excitement for the new additions. Social media pages are filled with photos of Eastvale families and friends, as they raved about the two new businesses.
The Starbucks off Cantu Galleano and Hamner Ave.
officially opened their doors on Feb. 7.
Many talked about the quick service they received while getting their
morning coffee. Others loved the
convenience of the location. However,
the celebration will continue on their official Grand Opening and Ribbon
Cutting ceremony on Feb. 28 so don’t forget to mark your calendars.
Photo Courtesy: City of Eastvale In-N-Out employees hustled while community members enjoyed their food at In-N-Out’s Grand Opening on February 8th.
Even though Starbucks was a hit, the real talk around
town was the new In-N-Out that opened the next day. The Eastvale In-N-Out is located at 4950
Hamner Ave., near Costco and Amazon.
They officially opened on Friday, Feb. 8, but are also expecting to have
a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting event as well. Eastvalians from all over town were thrilled
of how quick their drive was to the new In-N-Out and that they no longer have
to visit the Norco location. The new
Eastvale restaurant has 74 seats available in its dining room so stop by and
grab one today!
The City of Eastvale is proud to announce that Sunshine Growers will be coming to Eastvale! On Wednesday, October 17,2018 the Eastvale Planning Commission approved the development of a new 20,000-square-foot greenhouse and retail store for a new plant nursery at Sunshine Grower’s new location on Riverside Drive, east of Hamner Avenue.
“We are thrilled that Sunshine Growers has chosen to expand their business in our young and growing community,” said Mayor Clint Lorimore. “I am certain that our community will benefit from the variety of plant options that Sunshine Growers will provide, and I look forward to seeing how Eastvale homeowners will beautify their landscaping following the opening of this new business.”
This locally-based, family-owned business will be moving
from Ontario, bringing jobs and approximately $4-million in taxable retail
sales to Eastvale. Sunshine Growers is a family of wholesale and retail
nurseries that sell quality plant material to the community and to landscape
contractors. When they open, Sunshine Growers will be the only full-service
plant nursery in Eastvale, providing a great local option for the community to
continue to enhance landscaping around their homes, keeping our city beautiful.
Sunshine Growers will carry the best-suited plants for the Eastvale community
based on environment, typical weather, and placement. Having a local nursery
will allow pest and other environmental problems to be easily identified.
Sunshine Growers has also been extremely supportive of
both the Eastvale Community Fruit Tree Project as well as the Eastvale Garden
Group. These supportive efforts have included donating trees to the Eastvale
Community Fruit Tree Project, hosting classes for the Eastvale Garden Group,
and donating gift cards to these groups.
“It’s an exciting time to grow your business in
Eastvale!” said Interim City Manager Bryan Jones. “Their success is our success
and I am confident our residents and businesses will give Sunshine Growers a
warm welcome.”

Eastvale – The brand new Eastvale Community Park opened on Saturday, March 8, to a crowd of excited Eastvale residents. Representatives from the Eastvale Mustangs JAAF and Cheer, AYSO Soccer, Empire Soccer, Chivas Soccer, CrossFit Eastvale, and many others came out to promote their businesses. JCSD had demonstrations from various programs going on which kept both children and adults actively engaged throughout the day. Even with the dreadful Santa Ana winds, the event was a success.
The 160-acre parcel on the northwest corner of Limonite and Hamner Avenues is the ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ right now as far as real estate goes in the City of Eastvale. The massive property, owned by Dairyman, Brad Leal, has been the focus of discussion by the City Council, and even Eastvale citizens. Further exploration of the vision for the Leal Property was to be addressed at the City Council meeting on March 26, but discussion on the Specific Plan was approved to be continued to a later date. Stay tuned.
Ponino’s Pizzarena (located in the Ralph’s shopping center next door to the newly opened Soccer Wearhouse) opened without fanfare on Thursday, March 13 so employees could get into top form prior to the grand opening – coming soon; however, feel free to stop in for some hot, cheesy pizza right now.
You may have noticed that the Auto Zone at Archibald and Schleisman is now open. Still to come in that shopping center is Starbucks (gotta have one on every corner, right?), Fantastic Sam’s, Mes Amies Hair and Nails, Dentistry with Nihar Tanna DDS, Juice It Up, and the Great Harvest Bread Company (if you are not familiar with this business, you are in for a real treat).
The City of Eastvale has so much to be proud of, and so much to look forward to. The City is working on entryway monuments and directional signs that will be a beautiful welcome for citizens and visitors in the future. Yorba Elementary is planning its grand opening for July 6, 2015. And our second fire station will benefit our City next year as well.
Eastvale – It seems like you can’t drive on any main street in the City of Eastvale without seeing a significant construction project underway. If you’ve been following this article, you know that our beautiful City, already home to more than 57,000 residents, is in the process of building out the majority of the open land still available.
Our population will increase through the hundreds of homes being constructed throughout the City, and jobs will become available through new businesses – with revenue generated through both key components of a thriving metropolis. It’s exciting to see the transformation of Eastvale, especially if you have been here for a while. It almost makes the few cows you see here and there seem quaint, instead of being responsible for the successful agricultural Dairyland it was decades ago. But time marches on and progress continues for Eastvale.
Auto Zone at Archibald and Schleisman
As decisions are still being made for one of the biggest pieces of acreage, the Leal property on the northwest corner of Limonite and Hamner avenues, other projects are nearing completion. Auto Zone and Starbucks, at Archibald and Schleisman, look to be opening their doors soon.
The Desi ‘Arnaz Ranch’ located behind the Desi Collection Models at Estancia East and West
The beautiful new homes, Estancia East and West, located at Citrus and Granja Vista del Rio just opened their stunning model homes. The Desi ‘Arnaz Ranch’ home is visible from the models, directly behind the Desi Collection model. This is perhaps the most charming of all the new homes and an obvious tribute to Mr. Arnaz’ love of Spanish style architecture, with equestrian and musical décor abundant throughout.
There are a few new businesses coming to Eastvale. Look for Tio’s Tacos and Cellular Repair to open soon in the Gateway Center (next to Pick Up Stix); and Boba2Go Coffee and Tea (next to Albertson’s).
