Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rancho Cucamonga public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Brightline West High-Speed Rail Update
Brightline West reported all construction contracts are signed, a $6 billion federal loan application is pending, and construction could start late this year or early next year — a roughly four-year build to connect Rancho Cucamonga to Las Vegas in about two hours.
Measure I Transportation Sales Tax Continuation
The county's half-cent sales tax for roads and transit expires in 2040; a continuation expected on the November 2026 ballot would raise about $7.5 billion over 30 years. The council endorsed the expenditure plan.
Almond Street Improvement Project
The city and the water district will build 900 feet of new roadway connecting the two ends of Almond Street — improving emergency access in the northwest part of town — and replace two waterlines at the same time to avoid double construction disruption.
