To receive valuable feedback from the San Clemente community, the outreach team working on the Pico to San Juan Creek, San Diego Freeway (I-5) South County Improvement Project hosted its first quarterly stakeholder working group meeting last Wednesday.
Nearly 50 residents, business owners and community leaders participated at the San Clemente Community Center to learn more about the project that will widen the I-5 between San Juan Creek Road and Avenida Pico and reconstruct the Avenida Pico interchange.
The group of business leaders, school representatives, public safety officers, city leaders and other officials will be meeting quarterly throughout the duration of the project to discuss issues and provide solutions to help the community through the impacts of construction.
Mayor Bob Baker of San Clemente thanked the outreach team for its timely communication and responses to elected officials, city and the community.
San Clemente Councilwoman and OCTA Director Lori Donchak as well as Mission Viejo Councilman and OCTA Director Frank Ury participated in the stakeholder meeting.
The OCTA public outreach team continued its engagement efforts at the San Clemente Craft Fair on Avenida del Mar last Sunday. The team will continue attending this monthly craft fair to present updates, share information and answer questions from San Clemente residents and visitors.
