Year: 2025

Over the past ten years, our community newspaper has become a trusted source of information. Thousands of Irvine residents read our twice-weekly email messages and more than 70,000 follow us on social media.

We also want to express our gratitude to our readers for your input. Every week, Irvine Community News & Views (ICNV) receives messages from residents asking us to investigate stories that impact our City or to spotlight an event taking place in town.

The Mayor began the discussion by emphasizing that the top priority for the City of Irvine is to keep people safe.

Police Chief Michael Kent and his team provided a detailed report showing that the vast majority of e-bike collisions are caused by riders under the age of 18. Just this year, there have been 192 e-bike collisions in Irvine, with 128 of those accidents caused by an e-bike operator under the age of 18.

To allow our staff to enjoy quality time with their families, we will not be releasing our usual twice-weekly email newsletters over the holidays.

In the menatime, be sure to check out Joel Smith’s article, Things to Do in Irvine Over the Holidays.

Our twice-weekly email schedule will resume on January 4th.
