ACTIVITY CENTERS

To be eligible for State funding, a city’s bicycle and pedestrian planning must address connections between specific activity center types. These activity centers are essential destinations, including the community’s major employers, office buildings, industrial sites, government sites, retail centers, hospitals, tourist attractions, schools, and parks (see Figure 3-16). Jurupa Valley’s activity centers line the city’s major arterials and collectors, such as Limonite Avenue, Bellegrave Avenue, Van Buren Boulevard, Mission Boulevard, and Jurupa Road, which is typical of cities in western Riverside County. Additionally, most of the Jurupa Valley’s major employers are located in industrial zoned areas disjointed from the residential zones. In conjunction with the collisions and Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) analysis results, these activity patterns suggest that focus areas should be developed around the five major arterials/collectors: Limonite Avenue, Bellegrave Avenue, Van Buren Boulevard, Mission Boulevard, and Jurupa Road to help address existing issues while also serving the most potential users.
