Topics getting the most attention in San Bernardino County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
US 95 / Havasu Lake Road safety improvement

Baker Boulevard bridge and regional road projects
Big infrastructure day: the $23.2 million Baker Boulevard bridge replacement over the Mojave River was awarded, plus $1.1 million toward the Highway 95 project in Needles and a grant application for safety work on Arrow Route in Fontana.
Measure I Transportation Sales Tax Extension
The county is moving forward with placing the Measure I transportation sales tax extension on the November ballot to secure local funding for road repairs, congestion relief, and transit programs.
CSA 70 Zone R-15 Landers Road Maintenance Assessment
Road maintenance funding in Landers has fallen short because the $20 annual parcel fee established in 1984 hasn't changed. The county is proposing to raise the fee to $75 so dirt roads can be graded again.
