City of Chino Hills Installs New Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon on Boys Republic Drive
The City of Chino Hills has installed a new high-intensity activated crosswalk signal, also known as a pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB), at the crosswalk on Boys Republic Drive near Peyton Drive. The PHB provides pedestrians and motorists with an efficient and safer way to navigate the intersection from the Chino Hills Government Center to the sidewalk near St. Paul the Apostle Church. This is the first PHB in Chino Hills. The location was chosen due to the proximity of the intersection to Ruben S. Ayala High School, and the large volume of students who utilize this intersection and crosswalk not controlled by streetlights.

Walk on Wilshire is on Life Support
The council’s decision regarding the Walk on Wilshire (WoW) at the June 16 meeting left the fate of the pedestrian and bicycle street segment hanging in the balance, with a potential expiration date of October 15 looming. The 200-foot-long WoW has been in operation for the past 18 months on a trial basis and was set to end on June 30. It aimed to facilitate and promote outdoor dining through the use of “parklets.” Despite its mission, only three out of seven potential eateries – Mulberry Street, Fullerton Brew, and SomiSomi – opted to participate, with Mulberry Street being the sole establishment to commit to the concept fully. The short-term nature of the pilot program may have dissuaded the others from making the necessary financial investment.
