A contractor will be resurfacing portions of New Chicago Avenue and Ramona Expressway in the Valle Vista area of Greater Hemet.The Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 November 18 to authorize the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to advertise the resurfacing project for bid. The action also approved the plans and specifications, set a December 10 bid opening date, and found the resurfacing, which will not create additional traffic lanes and involves negligible or no expansion of use of the existing roadway, to be categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review.The resurfacing will cover the full width of an approximate 0.26-mile segment of New Chicago Avenue from East Florida Avenue, which is part of State Route 74 at that point, to Lincoln Avenue
