Since its incorporation in 1960, the unprecedented growth of San Dimas has transformed the City from an essentially rural area to a well-balanced community offering industrial, commercial, and residential living. In addition to the 1,700 acre Frank G. Bonelli Recreational Area which lies within the City boundaries, there are many parks such as San Dimas Canyon Park, a city-owned golf course (San Dimas Canyon Golf Club), and over 27 miles of equestrian trails for riding. The city services include an extensive recreational program for youth and for senior citizens, and the City boasts a new modern City Hall, with excellent provisions made for County Sheriff and Fire Departments, along with a fine Los Angeles County Library and Engineering Regional Office.

Project Description
The Covina Boulevard et al Street Improvement Project will reconstruct approximately 325,000 square feet of pavement using approximately 9000 tons of asphalt concrete. The project will rehabilitate Covina Boulevard between Arrow Highway and the 57 freeway on/off ramps providing an aesthetically pleasing, smoother, and quieter street surface for many years. Along with the street rehabilitation the project will replace minor curb, gutter, sidewalk panels and corner ramp upgrades improving accessibility.
Construction is scheduled to start October 4, 2021 and is anticipated to take approximately three months to complete.
Where feasible this project uses environmentally friendly and cost-effective construction processes including Full-Depth-Reclamation (FDR) which recycles the existing asphalt concrete and underlying aggregate base/soil material. The existing pavement will be pulverized or crushed, mixed with cement, and rolled into a stronger sub-base; left to cure for up to five days per lane and closed to vehicle traffic. Following the cure time, the new asphalt concrete pavement shall be constructed.
The project cost is approximately $2 million and of that cost $600,000 is SB 1 Road Maintenance and Recovery Act of 2017 funded (Gas Tax). The new pavement’s estimated useful life is 20 to 25 years.
