Bosque Trail Gets Some Much-Needed Greenery & Shade

The Bosque area in the Great Park features 1.8 miles of decomposed granite pedestrian trails that are 4-6 feet wide, as well as an 11-foot-wide concrete multi-use trail and bike path. These popular trails run along Bosque street, from Magnet (north of Great Park Boulevard) to Irvine Boulevard, linking residents to more than 53 acres of native landscape.

To enhance year-round trail aesthetics and provide much-needed shade, the City recently planted 86 trees and 6,000 shrubs along the Bosque Trail between Cadence and Benchmark.

Additional improvements to the Bosque area — scheduled to be completed later this year — include a community playground, pickleball courts, and greater connectivity among the trails.

Mayor Agran Spotlights Irvine’s Kindness

Since taking office, Mayor Agran has made it a point to publicly thank and spotlight Irvine-based non-profits, community programs, and the City’s churches, synagogues, and mosques for the work they do to promote kindness in our community.

He has also thanked the Irvine business community for encouraging employees to volunteer for local community service projects.

The Mayor recently connected volunteerism to kindness: “One of the things I value most about Irvine is our shared commitment to helping our neighbors and our community through volunteerism — whether it’s making deliveries for the Meals on Wheels program, leading hikes in the Irvine Open Space Preserve, caring for pets at the Irvine Animal Care Center, or joining the City’s Community Emergency Response Team.”

OCPA Charges Higher Monthly Electricity Rates for Dirtier Energy

In 2022, Irvine’s electricity customers were automatically enrolled in the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA).

Since that time, Irvine City Councilmember Kathleen Treseder, who is Irvine’s representative on the OCPA board, has continued to mislead the City’s electricity customers by falsely claiming that OCPA charges lower monthly rates and provides more renewable energy than Southern California Edison (SCE).

According to OCPA’s own website, Irvine electricity customers enrolled in OCPA are being charged about $20/month more than SCE charges it customers. And OCPA’s state-mandated reports show that 75% of OCPA’s Basic Choice tier — the energy tier Irvine customers are enrolled in — is nearly twice as dirty as SCE’s default tier.
