Currently, the Orange County Public Library operates three locations in Irvine: Heritage Park Library, University Park Library, and Katie Wheeler Library. At its July 23 meeting, the Irvine City Council approved transitioning Heritage Park and University Park Libraries from the County system to the City — allowing for a more personalized, local approach to library services. Earlier this year, the City and the County reached an agreement that also allows the Katie Wheeler Library to be included in the Irvine Public Library System starting January 1, 2026. The City achieved a major milestone in the operational transition in November when it hired Julie Zeoli as its first Librarian following an extensive and competitive recruitment process.

Celebrating a Space for Everyone
The City of Irvine furthered its commitment to inclusion with the opening of its first universal playground at Sweet Shade Neighborhood Park last fall. Wheelchair accessible with multigenerational play components to support usage by those with disabilities, as well as their parents and caregivers, the universal playground truly embodies its theme — “A Space for Everyone.” The City conducted extensive public outreach to help shape the design of the playground, which features an outer space theme and includes adaptive swings; a Bankshot Basketball court with creatively angled, curved, and uniquely configured basketball backboards; a sensory garden; and an adjacent restroom with an adult changing area.
Sweet Shade Universal Playground is a vibrant reflection of the City’s commitment to inclusivity, ensuring all residents have access to equitable services and opportunities. Funding for this innovative space was largely secured by Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, who helped deliver $2.8 million in state funding for the project. Sweet Shade is a 7.9-acre public neighborhood park and home to Sweet Shade Ability Center, where the City's Disability Services program provides activities for individuals with sensory, physical, or cognitive disabilities, and their family members. The creation of the City's first universal playground complements the Ability Center and expands inclusive recreational opportunities for all Irvine residents. Irvine's Disability Services program offers a variety of activities throughout the year, including an after-school
inclusion club, yoga, adaptive dance, early childhood classes, and gardening classes. There are also social programs such as movie and game nights, dances, and a Friday Night Social Club. Visit cityofirvine.org/ds to learn more about the programs and activities offered, or visit Sweet Shade Ability Center, where staff is available during regular hours to meet with the public about activities and services.

Cultivating a Greener Future — Together
More than 50 years ago, the City of Irvine was master- planned to be a sustainable City — a place where both people and nature can thrive. That foundation has led to the creation of more than 270 parks and convenient access to tens of thousands of acres of preserved open space that includes more than 360 miles of hiking and biking trails. Today, the City continues exploring ways to implement eco-friendly practices that will help it achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral. Turning to new ideas and innovation, and working in partnership with residents, the City has implemented groundbreaking strategies in resource conservation and emissions reduction, and fostered a thriving, sustainable community. Power-up There are more than 1,020 electric vehicle (EV) chargers located throughout Irvine, which amounts to about one EV charger for every 300 residents and places Irvine among the top five cities in California for EV infrastructure. Residents will soon have access to even more charging locations, helping to reduce emissions. The City will be adding 32 new EV chargers at municipal facilities
this year, adding to the existing 190 chargers already available. The new chargers will include Level 2 EV chargers and DC Fast Chargers (DCFC). Get Involved The City of Irvine's journey toward a green future wouldn’t be possible without the active participation and commitment of the community. Together, we are taking meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact and build a sustainable future for all. Here are a few additional steps you can take to reduce your carbon footprint and help Irvine become a more sustainable City: J Recycle food waste into the green bin. J Swap out your single-use plastics. J Join us at our Earth Month event April 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Quail Hill Community Center.

The City also received solar-powered EV chargers for its electric fleet service vehicles. Powered entirely by solar energy coupled with large batteries, the chargers reduce reliance on traditional power sources and contribute to lower energy usage — offering a green- technology solution that supports the City’s expanding EV fleet of more than 20 vehicles. Green-house To create a low-carbon future, the City has teamed up with XeroHome to help residents explore affordable, clean energy upgrades for their homes. Eligible residents can use XeroHome to receive a personalized energy upgrade plan, complete with clear recommendations for cost-effective, sustainable energy solutions. Learn more at xerohome.com . Street-smart In November, the City opened its first Class IV protected bikeway in the Great Park Neighborhoods along 1.25 miles of Cadence between Radial and Chinon. This year, a second Class IV Protected Bikeway will be added on Phantom, stretching 1,200 feet between Ridge Valley and Corsair. The Class IV Protected Bikeways, featuring a physical barrier between drivers and cyclists, strengthen the City's extensive bike network and encourage cycling by offering a safer commuting option. The bikeway on Cadence was recently enhanced with additional bollards and roadway pavement markers to improve visibility for drivers and delineation between the street and the bike lane. On Phantom, a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon has been installed to enhance pedestrian safety at the crossing. All bicycle types, including e-bikes of all classes, are allowed to ride in the Class IV Protected Bikeways. To keep the bikeways clean and well-maintained, the City also unveiled its first electric street sweeper, a 2024 Dulevo D-Zero Plus sweeper known as “Evie.” This environmentally friendly addition to the fleet demonstrates Irvine's ongoing dedication to sustainability.

Going the Extra Mile
Q&A with Jennifer Hale, One Irvine Workforce Program Coordinator
In 2024, the City of Irvine received $1.678 million in grant funding from California Volunteers to establish the One Irvine Workforce Youth Service Corps program. The program is designed to employ and empower the next generation of public servants by providing valuable work experience and mentorship opportunities to underserved youth, while developing public service career pathways.
J Goal-setting and organization J Business communication and etiquette J Financial literacy and money management In November 2024, we initiated the full-time Adult Apprenticeship and placed a total of 10 apprentices in various City departments. Apprentices are currently supporting staff with some exciting projects such as the expansion of the Irvine City Council, the new citywide Enterprise Resource Planning software system, and other community initiatives related to affordable housing, sustainability, community services, and community development. We’re excited to see the impact these folks make throughout 2025! The Summer High School program is available for high school students, at least 16 years old, during summer break, and the Adult Apprentice program is a year-long program for ages 30 and younger. The programs are coordinated by Jennifer Hale, a Senior Management Analyst in the City’s Human Resources Department, who shared information about this valuable partnership that benefits both the City and individuals in the programs.

Q
Hear what some of the 2024 Summer cohort shared about their experience!
A
I believe this program was executed greatly as we gained much-needed information from the weekly meetings such as financial literacy, interview skills, and collaboration among peers. I feel much more confident going into adulthood knowing these skills. An aspect of this program that was most valuable was the hands-on work experience. I learned a lot from being in a workplace setting and engaging with co-workers, the kids, and their parents at the summer camps. I feel that my skills of communication and leadership have grown from the start of summer to the end of the program. I really enjoyed the program and the experience I've gotten from it. I'm really excited to use the skills that I've learned through this program in other opportunities.
