The Eastvale Safety and Connectivity Project along Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way aims to enhance active transportation, safety, connectivity and opportunity along the Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way corridors, including the potential design and construction of trails, pathways and bikeways. The project area includes:

• Harrison Avenue from the Northern city limit to Chandler Street
• Scholar Way from Bellegrave Avenue to Citrus Street

About the Project:

The City of Eastvale will construct new multi-use trail, roadway and traffic signal modifications, and aesthetic features as part of the Safety & Connectivity Project along Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way. Once completed, the project will make it easier and safer to travel on Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way, whether you are in a car, on a bike or on foot. This project WILL NOT reduce the number of travel lanes on either side of the roads and will enhance the traffic flow along Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way.

Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way provide north/south connectivity within the city. The project will connect from the northern city limit to the multi-use trails along Santa Ana River. 

This will be the first project to move forward following a grant award for active transportation and will service several neighborhoods, schools, parks and transit routes to provide a robust active transportation network for users of all ages and abilities whether in a car, on a bike or on foot.

Project Goals:

• Make roads safer for everyone, whether in a car, on a bike or on foot
• Enhance traffic flow along Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way
• Improve connectivity to schools, multi-use trails, parks and recreational areas with new multi-use trails
• Explore opportunities to enhance roadway areas with new landscape and aesthetic features within the project area

This project will not:

• Reduce the number of travel lanes on the road
• Significantly impact traffic flow in the project area

A Safer, More Efficient Way to Travel Through Our City:

This safety and connectivity project prioritizes residents’ ability to travel throughout these Eastvale corridors safely and efficiently. Its focus is to improve the flow of people who travel by car, bike, foot, or otherwise.

• Supports new means of travel to create a more efficient flow of traffic
• Creates additional ways to travel through this area and connects our community to recreation opportunities
• Creates a better connection to surrounding parks and trails
• Creating a dedicated space for walking or biking in the area with drivers traveling at high speeds on the roadway, which will improve safety and reduce accidents

Enhances Recreational Opportunities and Preserves Open Space:

• Creates a connection to the Eastwalk Development, which will be the future of Eastvale’s downtown
• Connects to multi-use trails along the Santa Ana River
• Creates walking and biking paths on Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way within the city limit
• Provides better access to existing recreational areas, parks and trails

Enhance Traffic Flow in the Corridor:

The project will enhance roadway networks to provide a citywide system of multi-use trails that improve accessibility without a car.

• Enhance the traffic flow along Harrison Avenue and Scholar Way
• Enhance traffic signals, lighting, and landscaping around the multi-use trails
• The trail will not reduce the number of travel lanes on the road

Enhance the Quality of Life for Future Generations:

This trail system will offer enhanced quality of life and will provide a viable alternative to the automobile while connecting community centers, residential neighborhoods, shopping areas, and activity spaces.

• The 5 miles of bikeway will provide opportunities for social connection and safe places for recreation and commuting
• The multi-use trails will also provide for improved fitness, access to clean air, reduced traffic congestion, preservation of open space, and the protection of natural resources
• The multi-use trails will provide safe options to travel the roadway other than in vehicles
