“ ” Gateway Preserve is a testament to the City’s commitment to its residents; to creating sustainable, safe, and livable communities; and to protecting the natural environment for generations to come. Pete Carmichael City of Irvine Assistant City Manager
Additionally, the Gateway Preserve project includes improvements to the Jeffrey Open Space Trail (JOST) and development of a new residential village outside of the boundaries of the open space lands. The City has partnered with Brookfield Properties to facilitate development of the residential village. Site work will begin in late 2025, and homes will hit the market in 2027. The City broke ground on the JOST Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge Project in March, which will complete a critical piece of the trail running from Barranca to Interstate 5. This 1.5-mile extension will provide a key linkage between trails that extend from the Pacific Ocean all the way up to the Santa Ana Mountains and Cleveland National Forest. The bridge is expected to be open to the public by early 2026. “We are excited to provide more families the opportunity to put down roots in our exceptional master-planned City,” said Irvine Assistant City Manager Pete Carmichael, “all while increasing responsible access to and protection of the Irvine Open Space Preserve.” Vist cityofirvine.org/gatewaypreserve to learn more.
