Transportation Board — November 4, 2026
Riverside has 423 signalized intersections and twelve at-grade rail crossings where trains can add five-minute delays. Grade separations like the Third Street project are the long-term fix.
City Council — March 10, 2026
The city was scheduled to consider using eminent domain to secure easements on private property for a railroad quiet zone project between Brockton Avenue and Palm Avenue. A quiet zone would reduce train horn noise at crossings, but the property owner refused the city's statutory offer, setting up possible court proceedings.
