Q4 Quarterly Update
City of Victorville
Engineering Department
April 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026
Your Engineering Department worked very hard in the fourth and final quarter of Fiscal Year 2026. As we get ready to start Fisca l Year 2027, I am proud to report on the progress of your Engineering Department this last quarter:
• Engineering staff completed our street improvement project on Ridgecrest Road from Bear Valley Road to Pahute Avenue. The pr oject mostly addressed the deficient pavement but also increased walkability by constructing new sidewalk on the east side of Ridgecrest Road north of Bear Valley Road and extended the median at the intersection. • Similarly, Engineering staff completed our street i mprovement project on Roy Rogers Drive from Amargosa Road to I-15. The pr oject reconstructed the failed pavement and constructed a new raised ce nter median east of Civic Drive.
• Engineering staff was present at our annual Spring Festival & Egg Hunt at Hook Park on Saturday March 27 th . It was great to see our public and talk to you about our upcoming projects. We look forward to meeting you in person at our Concerts in the Park this summer.
I wanted to take a minute and explain the reason wh y we constructed the raised center medians on Ridgecrest Road and Roy Ro gers Drive: Safety .
According to the Federal Highway Administration (FH WA) vehicular crashes decrease by approximately 40% to 53% when raised me dians are constructed and they reduce pedestrian crashes by 46% at marked crosswalks and by 39% at unmarked locations. These improvements make Vict orville safer and that is why we invest in them.
As we head into the summer, Engineering staff will have multiple projects that will soon begin construction including the construction offire hydrants on La Mesa Road, the installation of approximately 16,000 linearfeet of CIPP sewer main lining, the installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) at nine separate locations, the construction of block walls atmultiple well sites, the construction of a 1 Million Gallon tank for our recycled water at SCLA, the installation of 8,000 LF of water pipeline on Amethyst Road that will connect the City’s domestic water system to the State Water Project.
To say we will be busy in the next 6 months is an understatement.
A Message from the City Engineer Our engineers, surveyors, plan checkers, inspectors , drafters, and admin staff work very hard to ensure that the City’s infr astructure is improved each day.
Lastly, I would like to dedicate this Quarterly Repo rt to Senior Civil Engineer Victor Fajardo who retired on June 30 th . Victor was with us for over 20 years and he completed quite a few projects in his tenure . Wishing you a long and blessed retirement, Victor. Thank you very much.
Thank you,
Fredy A. Bonilla, City Engineer
