Irvine PD Conducts Four-Day E-Bike Safety Campaign, Impounds Three E-Motorcycles

The Irvine Police Department is ramping up efforts to improve e-bike and e-device safety laws through education and enforcement. Over four days in the Great Park and northern areas, traffic officers interacted with many safe e-bike riders, issued safety-related tickets and citations, and offered bike safety courses as an alternative to fines. Three e-motorcycles were impounded. The department remains committed to enforcing all e-motorcycle laws.

Dream Realized: UCI Health's New $1.3 Billion Complex Revolutionizes Irvine's Medical Landscape

Dr. Michael J. Stamos, dean of the UCI School of Medicine, reflects on the remarkable journey from envisioning a small cancer center to realizing a $1.3 billion medical complex at UCI Health — Irvine. Despite initial doubts and numerous challenges, the project secured approval and expanded to include not just a cancer center but also additional hospital beds, operating suites, and outpatient space. This ambitious endeavor, initiated in 2016 and supported by UCI Chancellor Howard Gillman, has culminated in a state-of-the-art facility poised to serve coastal and south Orange County with advanced medical care. Hiring 150 new physicians this year alone, UCI Health — Irvine is set to significantly impact the community, fulfilling a long-held dream and enhancing healthcare accessibility in the region.
