This week in Redlands: Truck route workshops, Council & School Board meetings

🚛 Truck Route Workshops — Monday & Thursday
The city of Redlands will host two online community workshops this week to review proposed updates to its official truck route map — part of a new state requirement under Assembly Bill 98 to reduce heavy-truck impacts on neighborhoods.

Both sessions will include the same presentation, followed by public Q&A.

When: Monday, Nov. 3, and Thursday, Nov. 6, at 5:30 p.m. on Zoom
Join: https://cityofredlands.zoom.us/j/86731142116
Why it matters: Cities in California’s “warehouse concentration region,” including Redlands, must adopt updated truck-route maps by Jan. 1, 2026, to stay in compliance with AB 98.
