In the upcoming Nov. 3 election, one of the top concerns among voters is skyrocketing electricity bills.

Hong’s opponent, at-large Councilmember Kathleen Treseder, has made the defense of OCPA her top campaign priority. Despite three failed audits and soaring monthly electricity rates, Treseder continues to boast that she will always support OCPA “no matter what.”

Mayor Larry Agran’s vision to make Irvine the greenest city in America builds on decades of leadership. His early efforts helped establish Irvine’s renowned park system — now ranked No. 1 in California and No. 2 in the entire nation — and launched a goal to plant 500,000 trees citywide.

To help reach that goal, the City has launched two new programs giving residents opportunities to grow Irvine’s urban forest.

On August 11th, hundreds of cyclists, walkers, and four-legged companions crossed the I-5 Freeway as the new Jeffrey Open Space Trail (JOST) Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge officially opened.

Made possible in part by $14.5 million in state funding, the bridge represents another step toward Irvine’s vision of an interconnected trail system that could eventually stretch from the Pacific Ocean to the Santa Ana Mountains and Cleveland National Forest.
