We want to hear what you think about the landscape and aesthetic concepts for SR-91 The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and their project partners are preparing to make improvements to State Route 91 from Corona to Riverside. Final design activities are now underway, with construction planned to start in early 2014 and new lanes expected to open in 2017. The City of Corona has a unique opportunity to provide input concerning the landscaping and aesthetic features of the project. The City of Corona has expressed a strong desire for the project to include consistent and appealing aesthetic features throughout the project length. To that end, RCTC is providing three alternative concepts for application in the corridor. These three concepts present themes and individual features in sufficient detail to solicit input from City officials and constituents. Your comments are important; please take the time to review the alternative concepts below and provide feedback via email at SR91Project@ci.corona.ca.us by July 17, 2013. Your feedback will be considered by City officials as they provide feedback to the project team at a Study Session on July 24, 2013.
