Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rialto public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Juneteenth Jam 2026 and future city funding
Juneteenth Jam drew 10,000 people and gave out scholarships and books, but organizer Vickie Davis says the event has outgrown its resources and outgrown Ferguson Park. She and a long line of supporters asked the council to treat it as an investment in the community, not just an annual event.
Cactus Trail solar lighting
Ninety-nine solar lights will be installed along the 1.5-mile Cactus Trail between Rialto Avenue and Baseline Road, making evening walks and rides safer. The county is helping fund it, and two local residents originally pitched the idea.
Parks master plan and grant funding
Rialto has about 2.5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents — below its own 3-acre standard — and no parks master plan since 2010. The new plan could unlock $5-15 million in state and federal grants for courts, splash pads, and park upgrades.
