The City of Irvine is installing a new traffic control device to help make crossing busy streets easier for pedestrians. This new device is called a pedestrian hybrid beacon or PHB and provides pedestrians a safer crossing alternative than traditional crosswalks, especially in mid-block locations that are heavily traveled by pedestrians. And, because the devices are only activated when a pedestrian is present, drivers experience minimal delays.

Why did the City Council adopt a new smoking ordinance?
In order to promote and protect public health, safety, and general welfare, the City Council adopted a citywide smoking ordinance that prohibits smoking in all public places, including common areas of multi-unit housing, places of employment, in City facilities, and on City property. The ordinance is further intended to ensure a cleaner and more hygienic environment for the city, its residents and visitors, and its natural resources.

At its October 10, 2019 meeting, the Irvine City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 19-17, which expanded the City's current smoking prohibitions to include all public places, such as sidewalks, streets, and alleys as well as common areas of multi-unit residences, including laundry rooms, play areas, and pools.
