Pedley Town Center Visioning Survey

Pedley Town Center Plan

The City of Jurupa Valley is embarking on an exciting one-year planning effort to bring the community together to talk about the future of the historic Pedley area. Please click here for an image of the Pedley Town Center area. This historically rural part of the city is located around the intersection of Limonite Avenue and Van Buren, perhaps the most significant crossroads of the city, adjacent to the Metrolink station, and extends down to the Santa Ana River. The Pedley area is also the civic hub of the community as it includes City Hall.

The Pedley Town Center Plan will create a long-term vision for this area of the city, and provide policy direction and guidance to residents, City staff, decision-makers, and the broader community. This Plan will guide development and public improvements to create a cohesive center that will anchor this historic area of the city and help solidify its identity within Jurupa Valley. This survey is an opportunity for you to share your current impressions and experiences as well as your vision and ideas for the future of the Pedley Town Center area!

The survey is completely anonymous and takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. All answers will be summarized in a survey report that will be available to the public. To learn more about the Pedley Town Center Plan, visit the project website by clicking here.
