Sweet Shade Universal Playground: Best Project of the Year

Sweet Shade Universal Playground: Best Project of the Year

Sweet Shade Universal Playground has been named the Best Project of the Year by the American Public Works Association Southern California Chapter!

The project, which involved intentional design and comprehensive planning, was selected from more than 200 nominations submitted by 75 agencies throughout the region.

The universal playground is located within the 7.9-acre Sweet Shade Neighborhood Park. The park is also home to the Sweet Shade Ability Center, where the City’s Disability Services program offers activities for individuals with sensory, physical, or cognitive disabilities to enjoy alongside their families. The creation of the City’s first universal playground complements the Ability Center and expands inclusive recreational opportunities for all Irvine residents.

Irvine City Council Votes for Tougher E-Bike Regulations

Irvine City Council Votes for Tougher E-Bike Regulations

Biking has always been a popular mode of transportation and a favorite form of outdoor exercise for Irvine residents. Our City offers more than 100 miles of off-street bike trails and over 250 miles of on-street bike lanes.

However, the increase in the number of electric bikes (e-bikes) on Irvine sidewalks and streets has raised serious safety concerns. The Irvine Police Department has reported a growing number of e-bike collisions, with teens flying down City streets and pathways, crossing intersections without yielding to oncoming traffic, and demonstrating little regard for pedestrians and motorists they encounter.

On January 27th, the City Council voted 6-1 to adopt tougher e-bike regulations.
