CONSTRUCTION AT CACTUS
AVE & RIVERSIDE DR:
The City of Moreno Valley has removed
the “No Right Turn” sign at Cactus/Riverside
(east bound) and will see how it goes. They
warned that during construction, the turn ra-
dius is not enough for tractor trailer/delivery
trucks and it will be a problem for those ve-
hicles. Please have your delivery trucks use
the Heacock/Meyers entrance to the area to
avoid problems with the construction crew. If
a problem arises with the vehicle traffic while
the construction crew is relocating the traf-
fic signal and installing traffic modifications
at the Riverside/Cactus intersection the “No
Right Turn” sign will be put up again and en-
forced. Hopefully this will make things easier
for all while the street widening project is go-
ing on. If you have any questions contact the
March Community Planner and Liaison at
951-655-2236.
