Jurupa Valley Insider ENewsletter April 2026

Message from the City Manager

Dear Jurupa Valley Insider,

Spring is here, and April is packed with exciting happenings across our City!

We are thrilled to host our very first US Passport Fair on April 18 — a fantastic opportunity for residents to take care of their passport needs right here in the community.

We also want to keep residents informed on two important projects shaping our City's future. Construction on the Mission Bridge Project is now underway, and drivers along the eastern portions of Mission Boulevard in the Rubidoux area should expect delays through 2029, when the project is scheduled for completion. We appreciate your patience as this critical infrastructure investment takes shape.

Additionally, we will soon be hosting a Bellegrave Area Community Meeting to discuss traffic patterns, land use, local businesses, and development opportunities in that corridor — more details below.

Most exciting of all, this year our City celebrates its 15th Anniversary! This milestone belongs to every resident, business owner, and community member who has helped make Jurupa Valley the wonderful place it is today. Throughout the year, look for special events, activities, and giveaways commemorating this journey. Be sure to save the date for our signature celebration — Saturday, July 11, 2026 — a grand festival at City Hall featuring a community time capsule and much more.

Thank you for the honor of serving this incredible community. Enjoy this month's newsletter and discover more upcoming events and programs. Follow us on social media and visit www.JurupaValley.org to stay up to date on all City announcements.

With gratitude,

Rod Butler, City Manager
