Trails Network

The Temecula Valley Wine Country trail plan has been a collaborative effort among the County, the equestrian community and wine growers. The County's vision of implementing the goals of the "healthy community concept" prioritizes trails as a key element. The equestrian community aims to preserve and expand the trail network, established in the 1970's. The wine growers have developed a vision statement for our 'Wine Country' to become a recreation and vacation destination. The County's Regional Park and Open-Space District initiated the mapping process by working with the local equestrian groups. An initial concept of a balanced multi-purpose trail system consisting of equestrian, hiking, walking and bike trails was established. It was submitted to the wine growers for review and comment. After receiving comments from the wine growers, the County encouraged the two groups to meet and review the mapping to address system-wide and site-specific concerns.

While the District has shepherded the process as a participant, the community has taken the lead in developing the trail plan. The product provided to date has been mapped into the County of Riverside's GIS database system. It has been reviewed and field-checked by a County team consisting of representatives from the Park District, TLMA/Planning Department, and TLMA/Transportation Department. When approved, the trail system will serve as a model for developing a collaborative effort for mapping trails and improving the quality of life throughout the County's communities.

Roundabouts Along Rancho California Road

The proposed roundabout at the intersection of Rancho California Road and Anza Road will serve the growing Wine Country area of Temecula Valley.  This roundabout will allow vehicular, equestrian, bicycle and pedestrian traffic to interact through the intersection more efficiently and safely while keeping its natural wine county landscape. 

The roundabout will accommodate the estimated 15,600 of daily vehicular traffic and a peak hour vehicular traffic of over 2100. 

In the vicinity of the project, a multipurpose trail will be constructed on the north side of Rancho California Road.  Bike trails will be constructed on the south side of Rancho California and on the east side of Anza Road

The roundabout at Rancho California Road and Anza Road will be the first of five roundabouts that are being proposed for the Wine County area.  Roundabouts are also proposed along Rancho California Road at La Serena Way, Calle Contento, Monte De Oro Road and Glenoaks Road. 

The roundabout at Rancho California Road and Anza Road is expected to start construction in January 2012.

Streetscape Design Guidelines

One of the key components of the Wine Country Community Plan is the review and revision of the existing Design Guidelines. The purpose of the Temecula Valley Wine Country Design Guidelines is to reflect the Wine Country's vision and to guide the property owners, winery owners, County planners and decision-makers toward accomplishing the vision. The Wine Country Community Plan Streetscapes Design Guidelines was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 14, 2010. This phase of the Wine Country Design Guidelines is limited to streetscapes design guidance and signage program for the Rancho California Road and De Portola Road.
