Greetings Menifee Residents:
2015 is off to a roaring start in Menifee!
Beginning with Commerce Pointe Menifee, the city’s first
business/light industrial park which broke ground in
January, the community will see construction on multiple
developments and infrastructure projects this year (see
pages 5 and 8). Additional projects include retail centers,
Krikorian Premiere Theatres and the long-awaited
Interstate 215 / Newport Road Interchange.
With more restaurants, retail outlets and businesses
coming to Menifee,residents have more choices to shop
locally, additional job opportunities are created, and
Menifee’s sales tax revenues increase. The income
Menifee receives from sales tax revenue is used for
important city services such as public safety, animal
services, parks maintenance and community services.
In fact, Menifee was able to use increased sales tax
revenue income to add three additional police officers to its force this fiscal year.
In other news, the Community Services Department began work on Menifee’s Parks, Trails, Open Space
and Recreation Master Plan (PTOSRMP). Community feedback will play a huge part in the success of this
plan that will ultimately serve as a guide to manage the city’s parks and trails in the future (see the story
on page 6).
Speaking of parks, playgrounds at three parks were resurfaced in January as part of the city’s efforts to
revitalize neighborhood parks. New rubberized surfacing provides a safer area for play at Lazy Creek,
Nova and E.L. Pete Peterson parks.
One of our top priorities at the city is to continue improving our residents’ quality of life. We’re off to a
great start this year with multiple projects and future planning, and we look forward to keeping you
up-to-date on all city happenings.
Kind regards,
Robert A. Johnson

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Shop Menifee provides
all the tools you need to
shop locally.
Work begins on Menifee’s
first business park
The Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce, with
support from the city, launched shopinmenifee.com
to encourage people to shop locally. The site offers a
business directory that highlights Menifee stores,
restaurants and businesses and provides their location.
There’s also free coupons for deals at participating
Menifee businesses.

The project is situated in a convenient, centrally
located area along Interstate 215, between
Scott and Keller Roads. When completed,
the large business park will include up to 53
buildings spread over 51 acres. Infrastructure
improvements associated with the project
include improvements to Zeiders and Bailey
Park Roads, along with construction of the
new Ciccotti Street.

Local and regional business and light industrial companies will soon

industrial park located along Interstate 215.

“Shopinmenifee.com is a tool to promote our local
businesses and to encourage the Menifee community to
shop locally,” said Economic Development Director Jeff
Wyman. “When people support local businesses, money
is contributed to the city’s sales tax revenues which is a
main source of city income used to provide public safety,
parks maintenance and community services. Shopping
locally also helps to boost local job growth.”
Menifee is open for business in 2015!
The Commerce Pointe Menifee groundbreaking kicked off what is expected to be an eventful year in Menifee’s development. “There are
more than 75 commercial, residential and infrastructure projects in various stages
of design,” said Economic Development Director Jeff Wyman. “We expect multiple
projects to begin construction, along with the accompanying infrastructure
improvements, in 2015. It’s an exciting time in Menifee.”
Projects expected to break ground this year include Town Center Marketplace at
Haun and Newport Roads, featuring restaurants, PetSmart and Party City, and the
Menifee Town Center, site of the future Krikorian Premiere Theatres, located
at Newport Road and Town Center Drive.
Residents are invited to stay connected via Facebook, Twitter, the city website and
Menifee e-news for upcoming economic development activity.

CITY NEWS
Parks and trails master plan
needs community input
What do YOU, community members, envision for Menifee’s parks,
trails, open space and recreation amenities? This is one of the
main questions City Staff and RJM Design Group will be asking
as they begin work on Menifee’s Parks, Trails, Open Space and
Recreation Master Plan (PTOSRMP).
The year-long master plan project will provide a prioritized,
10-year guide for the future outlining recommendations for
recreational amenities and open space.
There are a number of ways for the community to give input
including stakeholder interviews, a community-wide telephone
survey, three community workshops and an online survey.
Residents also may provide feedback via social media.
In addition to community input, the master plan will include
background research, inventory of facilities and programs,
demand and needs assessment and future recommendations.
Opportunities for community involvement in the project will
take place from March to May. Information about how to
participate will be posted on the city’s Facebook and Twitter
sites, website and in the city’s electronic newsletter. Sign up at
www.cityofmenifee.us to receive Menifee e-news in your inbox.

PUBLIC WORKS UPDATE
Interstate 215 / Newport Road
Interchange Update
Utility relocation complete:
Interchange construction to begin in April
Utility relocation along Newport Road between Antelope and Haun
Roads will be completed in early March in time for the next phase of
the highly anticipated interchange project to begin. During the past
six months, companies like AT&T and SoCal Gas worked overnight to
move underground cables and equipment to accommodate the
interchange project and ensure uninterrupted service.
The next phase of work on the interchange project is set to begin in April and the $37 million
project is expected to be completed in 18 to 22 months.
The project will provide easier
freeway access with a new
cloverleaf on- and off-ramp
design. Newport Road will also be
widened to four lanes in each
direction on the overpass to
improve traffic flow on the city’s
main east/west arterial road.
Motorists on Newport Road may experience delays near the freeway overpass during
interchange construction. Alternative route signage will be posted at strategic intersections
giving motorists enough time to avoid construction traffic by taking an alternate route.
Newport Road median improvements complete
New, water-efficient landscaping in the Newport Road median east of Interstate 215 is the final
touch completing the Newport Road Widening project, the city’s first project in the Menifee
Moving Capital Improvement Program.
The water-wise shrubs, trees and plants lining the median
will be watered with a new drip irrigation system.
Decorative river rocks and softscape add dimension to the
landscape.
Although construction on Newport Road was completed
last fall, the landscaping phase was delayed because the
existing median soil contained concrete from the old
roadway. Contractors were forced to remove the median
soil, excavate the old roadway underneath, then add new
amended soil to the median.
“The soil quality was so poor below the surface we decided to remove it and restart with
amended soil to ensure the new plants would thrive,” said Public Works Assistant Director
Rafael Martinez. “We chose to make changes to do the project correctly, even though it meant a
delay in completion. Beautification projects like this are the details that make communities shine.”

New traffic signals to be
ready for next school year
Construction on three traffic signals
will begin this summer at impacted
intersections in Menifee, all located
near schools.
The new signals will be installed at
the intersections of Aldergate Drive
at Menifee Road near Freedom Crest
Elementary School; at Bradley and
Holland Roads near Paloma High
School; and at Garbani and Antelope
Roads, just south of Mt. San Jacinto
College.
“To reduce impacts to school
traffic, these signals will be under
construction while school is out
during summer and will be ready in
time for the start of school this fall,”
said City Engineer Jonathan Smith.
“This is a great example of how
collaboration leads to a positive
result – the city worked with
residents and the school district to
develop a project that ultimately
provides a safer environment while
improving traffic flow.”

updates, lane closures and

Sat., July 25
Come celebrate Independence Day with an old-fashioned
hometown event! The festivities kick off at 5 pm with a
parade down La Piedra, followed by a carnival-type event
with food vendors, live music, KidZone and fun activities
like a pie-eating contest and potato sack race! A fireworks
display round out the celebration of our nation’s
independence.
This event is sponsored by the City of Menifee and produced by the
Lake Menifee Women’s Club. For more information, visit
