Sun Lakes Boulevard Extension Project

The Sun Lakes Boulevard Extension Project is an infrastructure initiative led by the City of Banning in Riverside County, California. The project involves the construction of an arterial highway parallel to Westward Avenue, spanning the area between Highland Home Road and Sunset Avenue. Key technical components include the relocation and adjustment of various utilities to grade and the installation of three culverts, identified as Lines J, I, and K, to facilitate the roadway extension across Highland Wash, Smith Creek, and Pershing Creek. The project is governed by a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (EPIMS-RIV-54902-R6) issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602. Environmental clearance was granted on August 6, 2025, with a Notice of Determination stating that the project will not have a significant environmental effect, provided that the adopted mitigation measures and monitoring plan are followed. While the project is listed as a forecast with a posting date of August 7, 2025, and falls under NAICS code 237310, there are no specified contract values, formal federal acquisition clauses, or defined performance periods. Primary points of contact include City Engineer Nathan Smith and Environmental Scientist Enola Fulgencio.
