Yorba Linda Boulevard Widening Improvements Project

The City of Yorba Linda is advancing infrastructure improvements in the Savi Ranch area, a major employment and commercial hub in the city's southeastern quadrant, through a project focused on roadway enhancements and the development of a multi-use pedestrian and bicycle trail. The scope includes widening and upgrading Savi Ranch Parkway, Yorba Linda Boulevard, and Mirage Street, while also constructing a continuous trail along these corridors plus Old Canal Road to support non-motorized transportation and improve connectivity. The project is governed by environmental compliance under CEQA, as documented in a 2021 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, which mandates adherence to a series of standardized conditions addressing water quality, stormwater management, hazardous materials handling, noise control, cultural resource protection, and geotechnical stability. Key deliverables include a Water Quality Management Plan, a Final Drainage Report, a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Program, and a geotechnical report, all aligned with California Air Resources Board regulations, Orange County NPDES permit requirements, Caltrans standards, and local municipal codes. All work must occur within designated hours—7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays—with strict controls on dust, emissions, and equipment noise, and must include protective fencing and mitigation for sensitive biological and archaeological resources. Inspections take place on-site during construction, with final acceptance tied to certification of the environmental documentation and implementation of all agreed-upon mitigation measures. The City of Yorba Linda retains oversight as the Lead Agency, with responsibilities for compliance and certification resting with the contractor, who must adhere to standards outlined in the IS/MND and related technical memoranda. The project has an estimated construction duration of approximately 13 months, though exact start and completion dates are not specified. While the contract is classified as a forecast and formal pricing, contract type, and invoicing details are not available, the place of performance is clearly defined as Yorba Linda, California, within the 92612 ZIP code. Point of contact for project inquiries is Rick Yee, Deputy Director of Public Works, with correspondence directed to the City’s Public Works office.
