Irvine is America’s Safest Big City
During his State of the City address, Mayor Larry Agran said: “Here at Irvine City Hall, we never forget that the foremost responsibility of local government is to keep people safe.

For yet another year — the 21st year in a row — according to FBI statistics on violent crime in major cities, Irvine has been ranked as the Safest Big City in America!”
The Mayor also reported that violent crime in Irvine dropped by 5% and property crime fell by 16% last year.
Mayor Agran thanked the City’s public safety officers: “On behalf of a grateful Irvine community, I want to take this moment to thank Chief Michael Kent and our entire Irvine Police Department for yet another year of outstanding work!”
Marine Way Underpass Project at the Great Park
With so many new amenities coming to the Great Park, the City is working to improve access and traffic circulation into and around the park.
