Temescal Canyon Bridge Construction - Corona

Each year during the rainy season the Bedford Wash fills and floods the low points of Temescal Canyon Road. The water can quickly rise and be dangerous for cars and trucks. As South Corona grows this problem will only be compounded with all of the new homes and business in the Dos Lagos area. The City of Corona, Riverside Supervisor John Tavagilone and the Dos Lagos Development Group have banded together to correct this problem.

The Temescal Canyon Road will be closed South of Cajalco and North of Weirick from Monday November 28th until Monday, January 9th. This is to allow for the for construction of the four lane Bedford Wash Bridge. During this time all traffic will be rerouted onto the 15 Freeeway.

This joint effort project is scheduled to be completed by January 9th 2006 but this date may fluctuate some with weather or unforeseen factors. Hopefully our new 4 lane bridge entering into the divided streets of Dos Lagos with beautiful majestic oaks down the center will be complete by the first hard rainfall.

Any questions may be directed to the construction hotline at (951) 279-3060 or see the Dos Lagos web site at www.doslagos.net .

Prado Dam - History Cannot Be Rewritten

HISTORY CANNOT BE REWRITTEN

There is a move afoot in Congress (H.R. 1152) to change the name of Prado Dam to the Victor V. Veysey Dam. It is sponsored by Congressman Ken Calvert to honor his father's friend.
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN

The Prado Dam has existed for nearly 65 years and was named for the frontier town called Prado, once located in the basin behind the dam. Prado is important because:

• The area was inhabited for centuries, first by the Gabrielene Indians, then by Spanish settlers of Rancho El Rincon and then by American Farmers.
  
• The Butterfield stage stopped at Prado.
  
• Besides homes, significant structures in Prado included a railroad depot, a post office, a school house, a hotel, a general store and a garage.
  
• Three hundred citizens called Prado home.
