Residents and visitors now have a new way to get around Irvine with the launch of the City’s first fixed-station Bike Share Pilot Program.

The pilot begins with two stations located at the Irvine Civic Center (1 Civic Center Plaza) and University Town Center (4255 Campus Drive).

Two months after current City Manager Sean Crumby announced his plans to step down, the City has hired Sean Joyce to be Irvine’s new City Manager. Joyce is expected to begin in mid-August.

The plan was designed to stabilize Irvine’s finances by drawing upon the City’s “Rainy Day Reserves” and minimizing impacts on residents and City employees.

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup concludes this weekend, the City of Irvine is celebrating an unforgettable chapter in the community’s history and thanking the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team for allowing Irvine to play a role in the team’s World Cup journey.

Thousands of residents and visitors gathered throughout the month to glimpse training sessions, attend community events, and cheer on the players as they represented the United States on soccer’s biggest stage. Along the way, the team’s presence brought neighbors together, inspired young athletes, and created lasting memories for families and fans throughout Irvine.

The City of Irvine recently received two prestigious awards recognizing its Fiscal Year 2025–27 Budget and its commitment to fiscal transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of public resources.

To ensure the City’s financial strength continues into the future while maintaining a balanced budget, two modest adjustments have been included for the coming fiscal year. The City will not expand its vehicle fleet, and non-essential vacant positions will remain unfilled.
