A Metrolink train struck a pedestrian in Upland last Tuesday, leading police to close Mountain Avenue between Eighth and Ninth streets and halt rail service between Upland and Montclair for hours. In county legal developments, San Bernardino County approved a $1.75 million settlement Friday regarding the 2023 death of jail inmate Adam Preston Adams.

Remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel brought a 70 percent chance of rain and up to a quarter inch of precipitation Monday, cooling temperatures to a 63-degree high before warmth returns later this week. While post offices closed for the Monday holidays, Upland City Hall and most local government offices remained open.

Upland High School ranked in the top 50 percent of California schools for the 2026–27 year, serving nearly 2,800 students with solid math proficiency results. The school district is also promoting a $237 million bond measure on the ballot to modernize aging campus buildings across its 15 facilities.

Commuters face ongoing delays on Foothill Boulevard as crews work on median landscaping and lighting, alongside long-term bridge work scheduled on Mission Boulevard. Meanwhile, October housing data showed Upland home prices stabilizing near a $700,000 median, paired with a slight uptick in market inventory.

Screamers Soda is opening its first Southern California shop in Upland, offering specialty dirty sodas while dedicating part of its proceeds to local youth recovery centers. Looking ahead, community members can join a historical walking tour of Bellevue Memorial Park this Saturday, or submit artwork of the Sooty Grouse for California's game bird stamp contest starting November 2.]]></content:encoded>

Upland is enduring an Extreme Heat Warning through Thursday night, with highs reaching 99 degrees today and 100 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday. Overnight lows will hover near 74 degrees, with daytime highs cooling to 89 degrees on Saturday and a 23 percent chance of rain Sunday night.

Drivers should anticipate delays on Foothill Boulevard between Benson and Euclid avenues, where the city's 13-million-dollar improvement project continues past its August timeline. Crews are installing water pipelines, median landscaping, and lighting, while residents can flag issues on the UplandConnect app. Meanwhile, a newly signed state law will restructure San Bernardino County governance by adding supervisor districts.

On the gridiron, the Upland Highlanders fell 42-7 to the Etiwanda Eagles, bringing them to 0-6 on the season. The squad enters a bye week before facing Damien, looking to rebound after being outscored 116-14 over three games.

September real estate data shows an Upland median sold price of 749,000 dollars, with 250 active listings averaging 52 days on market. North Upland ranch properties sit near 900,000 dollars, while new downtown townhomes have softened downtown price averages. On the highways, California Highway Patrol officers are conducting maximum enforcement against impaired driving, speeding, and retail theft along the 210 and 10 freeways.

For dining, the hosts recommended Thai Family Sisters Restaurant on South Mountain Avenue for pad thai and mango sticky rice. Additionally, Saturday adult Filipino martial arts classes are underway on 9th Street through October 24th, and pheasant hunting season opens October 10th.]]></content:encoded>

North Campus Avenue regulars will need a backup plan as Starbucks closes that shop among 250 store closures nationwide. Meanwhile, animal welfare authorities seized over five hundred living and dead cats from properties tied to Furget Me Not Purebred Cat Rescue, finding twenty-eight deceased cats in a freezer.

Law enforcement pursued two 17-year-olds driving over 100 mph on the 10 Freeway into Upland, leading to an officer-involved shooting after one suspect broke into an occupied home. In local education, the school board placed Measure M, a $237 million repair bond, on the November ballot as Dr. Shinay Bowman steps in as superintendent.

The housing market remains balanced with median sold home prices at $700,000 and listings spending 45 days on the market, while median monthly rent jumped sixteen percent to $3,300. For dining out, Nuno's Bistro and Bar on Arrow Route offers modern European fare and cocktails on its patio.

Drivers should plan for long-term construction as Stage One of the $91 million Mission Boulevard Bridge replacement continues through 2029 to build new lanes and a multipurpose trail. Crews are also continuing median work and landscaping along Foothill Boulevard.

Community festivities take place Saturday, October 3, when Memorial Park hosts the free Route 66 Centennial Celebration from noon to 5 p.m. with classic cars, music, and food. The free Steppin Into Fall walking group also gathers Saturday at Magnolia Park at 8 a.m. Bring plenty of water, as daytime temperatures will climb steadily through the week, reaching a scorching 96 degrees over the weekend.]]></content:encoded>

Upland and Ontario are advancing major transit-oriented developments near the Metrolink station, focusing on affordable housing, jobs, and regional growth to ease roadway congestion. Meanwhile, a recent report highlighted California legal mechanisms that permit the state superintendent to appoint an administrator if local school districts fall short of academic or financial benchmarks.

Looking to coordinate services across municipal borders instead of shifting responsibility, Upland, Ontario, and Fontana announced a joint initiative to establish a West End regional homelessness navigation center offering healthcare and job resources. Nearby in local development, site preparation is officially underway to replace the historic Buffalo Inn burger spot with a new residential apartment complex.

City infrastructure faces ongoing financial strain, with Upland confronting a one-million-dollar municipal budget gap and a road repair backlog exceeding two hundred million dollars. Grant funding covers only a fraction of needed work, leaving local officials to patch damaged pavement while the local tax base struggles to support long-term street resurfacing.

On the local hospitality front, The Brewmill recently opened on Arrow Route in Rancho Cucamonga, quickly emerging as a popular gathering venue for craft beer enthusiasts and neighborhood families. Meanwhile, Upland's Warzone Boxing Club has earned recent attention for fostering camaraderie and physical fitness among community members and military veterans.

Upland weather brings pleasant conditions near 80 degrees with 20-mile-per-hour wind gusts today before heat builds steadily across the valley, reaching 91 degrees Thursday and peaking at 96 on Saturday. Temperatures drop back to 85 degrees Sunday, while earlier this week neighbors can gather for Tuesday's morning meet-and-greet and an evening fantasy novel study party at New Model Colony.]]></content:encoded>

The Upland City Council convenes tonight, Monday, September 14, 2026, to discuss significant community matters. A primary agenda item is Measure M, a proposal to modernize the city's business tax structure, which will appear on the November ballot. This initiative aims to update a long-standing system to help fund crucial street maintenance. Additionally, the Council will review the city budget and hold a public hearing on new fees, including those for small wireless facilities. Residents are welcome to attend at City Hall or watch live on Channel 3.

Ongoing Foothill Boulevard improvements continue, with base paving completed in certain sections. This comprehensive project includes asphalt reconstruction, new curbs, gutters, and traffic signal upgrades, with crews now working overnight to reduce daytime disruptions. While the project has extended beyond its initial timeline, these infrastructure upgrades are designed for long-term community benefit. The A Line extension, serving as pre-construction for the segment from Pomona to Claremont, also continues with survey crews active in the area.

In local sports, the Upland Highlanders football team is working through a challenging season and will host Valley View this Friday at 7 p.m. at Highlander Stadium, where community support is highly encouraged. The girls' flag football team also has a game tomorrow against Chino Hills.

Upland's business landscape sees new additions, with La Michelada, a family-owned Mexican restaurant, now open downtown, and a new Indian restaurant receiving positive reviews on East Foothill. For community events, the Kids Markets are scheduled for this Saturday, September 19, as part of the Downtown Farmers Market, offering young entrepreneurs a platform. Lakeshore Learning will also host a free "Dino Day" with dinosaur-themed activities on the same Saturday.

Public safety remains a focus, with authorities maintaining an active presence throughout the city, including increased patrols near school campuses. Residents are reminded to ensure their personal belongings are secure.

The weather forecast predicts a pleasant week, with temperatures in the low to mid-80s, clearing morning fog, and sunny skies, creating ideal conditions for outdoor activities and community engagement.]]></content:encoded>

Upland is currently experiencing a significant heatwave, with a National Weather Service advisory in effect until Thursday evening. Temperatures are expected to climb into the triple digits, potentially reaching 100 degrees on Wednesday. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, seek air-conditioned environments, and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours. A slight chance of rain showers today may increase humidity, making the already high temperatures feel even more pronounced.

The city encourages residents to utilize the UplandConnect app for timely local information and public safety updates. This platform serves as an official channel for community reports and non-emergency issues, such as flickering streetlights, and allows for efficient communication regarding local happenings. It aims to streamline resident engagement and provide a reliable source of information.

Despite the challenging weather, community life continues. Upland High's football team, the Highlanders, will play Summit this Thursday at 7 PM in a home game, with the schedule adjusted due to the heat. Looking ahead to Saturday, September 12th, the Scheu Family YMCA will host Lobsterfest 2026 from 5 PM to midnight, a Rotary Club fundraiser featuring food and live music. On the same evening, "2nd on 2nd" in Historic Downtown Upland will close off a street for pedestrians, offering vendors and entertainment until midnight. Additionally, a "Got E-Waste?" event will take place on Saturday from 9 AM to 12:30 PM at 140 North Mountain Avenue, providing free disposal for electronic waste. The "Steppin' Into Fall" weekend walkers will also meet at Magnolia Park at 8 AM Saturday.

Ongoing improvements to Foothill Boulevard, specifically the stretch from Benson to Euclid, continue to progress. This project involves median work, water pipeline upgrades, new sidewalks, curbs, and enhanced lighting and bike lanes. While temporary traffic adjustments and lane closures may occur, these efforts are designed to extend pavement life, improve traffic flow, and enhance water reliability and safety for all commuters and pedestrians.

In local real estate news, the median sold price for homes in Upland for September 2026 is reported at $772,250. This figure indicates a shift compared to previous months, with some reports noting a decrease in average home prices year-over-year, while others suggest a slight increase in values. The market remains competitive, yet buyers are becoming more selective. Rental costs continue to rise, with studios averaging over $1800 and two-bedroom units nearing $2400.]]></content:encoded>

Upland residents are observing a range of community developments and local updates this week, encompassing public safety efforts, educational initiatives, and ongoing city improvements.

The Upland Unified School District announced Shinay Bowman as its new Superintendent, succeeding Lynn Carmen Day. This leadership transition comes as the district prepares to present a $237 million bond measure to voters in November. This measure aims to address necessary facility modernization and infrastructure updates for local schools.

In recent days, local authorities responded to several public safety incidents. This included police activity involving an individual on an e-bike, which prompted a response due to traffic concerns. A local business also experienced a theft involving collectibles, and an individual was involved in an incident causing property damage along a local trail. Community members are reminded to remain vigilant and report any unusual activity to ensure neighborhood safety.

Looking to community celebrations, the Upland Woman's Club is marking its centennial anniversary. The club, whose historic clubhouse dates back to 1926, has been a cornerstone of local history and community service for a hundred years. Additionally, Molly's Souper, a beloved local eatery on Fourth Avenue, continues to be a cherished spot known for its classic breakfast and lunch offerings, contributing to the city's unique charm.

City infrastructure remains a focus, with efforts underway to address a significant road repair backlog. While progress continues on various projects, residents may experience ongoing traffic adjustments. Furthermore, a substantial new multifamily housing project has secured $34 million in financing for a 324-unit community, signaling continued development in Upland's housing sector.

As Labor Day weekend approaches, the forecast indicates mild temperatures in the high 80s for much of the week, with a potential for light rain showers over the weekend. Residents planning outdoor activities should monitor weather updates and exercise caution on roadways, especially if conditions become wet.]]></content:encoded>

Upland residents are advised to prepare for an extended period of extreme heat this week, with temperatures forecasted to reach triple digits by the weekend.

Upland and the wider Inland Empire community are currently navigating a significant Heat Advisory, extending through July 27th, with temperatures projected to reach triple digits. Residents are strongly encouraged to prioritize hydration, minimize outdoor exposure, and ensure the well-being of neighbors and pets during this period. Public safety remains a key focus for local authorities.

In regional news, legal proceedings have concluded regarding a significant traffic incident on the 10 Freeway in Ontario last year that resulted in fatalities involving a commercial vehicle operator. This outcome serves as a solemn reminder of freeway safety protocols. Additionally, authorities in San Bernardino County are investigating a tragic public safety incident involving a firearm and a young child. This underscores the critical importance of secure firearm storage in all homes, especially those with juveniles, to prevent similar heartbreaking occurrences.

Closer to home, local health officials recently conducted inspections that led to temporary closures for several Upland establishments on Foothill Boulevard, including Christy's Donuts, Inca's Peruvian Grill, and Little Badger Coffee Company. These actions are part of ongoing efforts to uphold public health standards for all patrons. Furthermore, the city is addressing a substantial backlog in road repairs, estimated at $210 million, with ongoing infrastructure work impacting areas like Foothill Boulevard. Residents should anticipate continued traffic adjustments.

Despite these challenges, the local real estate market continues to see quick sales, with median home prices around $827,000. For community engagement, events like a Claremont Speed Dating Weekend in early August and the Treasury of Claremont Music Annual Summer Concert on August 1st are available. The community is reminded to stay informed via the UplandConnect app for city updates and concerns, prioritizing collective safety and well-being.]]></content:encoded>

The community is currently navigating an extreme heat advisory, which remains in effect until Thursday night. Temperatures are expected to reach triple digits mid-week, with highs in the upper 90s and low 100s, before a slight cool-down towards the weekend. Residents are strongly encouraged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and ensure pets are kept safe from hot surfaces.

Major infrastructure improvements continue across the city. The Foothill Boulevard project, stretching from Benson to Euclid, is making significant progress on water pipeline updates and roadway resurfacing. This $13.2 million initiative, which began last October, is anticipated to conclude by August. Additionally, neighboring communities are conducting gas main service pipeline work near the border, expected to wrap up by year-end, which may periodically affect local traffic patterns. Authorities recently responded to an extended public safety incident that concluded in the local area, involving an individual and originating outside the immediate vicinity. The city encourages residents to utilize the UplandConnect app for reporting non-emergency concerns.

Local schools are actively supporting families through the summer. The Upland Unified School District is hosting its summer reading adventure and offering a free lunch program, available at the library through July 30th. These programs aim to provide valuable resources for juveniles during the break. Separately, the nomination period for the 2026 election recently opened, inviting community members to consider participation.

For leisure, the Moonlight and Music series continues this Thursday, July 16th, featuring 'Woodie and the Longboards' at Magnolia Park starting at 6:30 PM. The weekly Farmers Market also remains a popular Saturday destination downtown from 9 AM to 2 PM, offering local goods and community engagement. The real estate market remains competitive, with median home prices around $750,000, and properties typically staying on the market for about 52 days.]]></content:encoded>

Upland residents are advised to prepare for a significant heatwave this week, with a Heat Advisory in effect until Thursday night. Temperatures are expected to reach the low to mid-90s. The Happening Network encourages everyone to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak heat, and check on neighbors, especially older adults, to ensure their well-being. Keeping pets safe and hydrated during these elevated temperatures is also crucial.

In positive community news, Warzone Boxing on 9th Street is recognized for its vital role in supporting local veterans. The facility provides a community hub where individuals can engage in physical activity and find support, contributing to mental and physical wellness within the veteran community.

Local authorities recently conducted a traffic safety initiative on Friday, July 3rd, at Campus Avenue and 19th Street. This effort aimed to enhance road safety during the holiday weekend. While few individuals were identified for impaired driving infractions, several citations were issued for related driving violations, emphasizing the ongoing commitment to safer streets.

The Upland Unified School District is concluding its summer school programs this week, which began on June 8th. Additionally, the district recently celebrated the completion of its two-year teacher induction program by eleven teachers and three administrators, marking an investment in educational leadership and staff development. Looking ahead, the Bridge Point Upland project, a 201,000-square-foot warehouse and parcel delivery building, is moving forward at Central and Foothill, with construction anticipated to begin.

The local real estate market shows recent shifts, with median home prices experiencing a slight dip. However, inventory remains low, indicating a competitive environment for buyers.

Upland is currently experiencing significant community discussions surrounding recent adjustments to mobile home rent control policies.

In other local developments, the Upland Police Department has addressed technical issues with its vehicle systems, enhancing operational capabilities. The city's State of the City report highlights the increasing utilization of drone technology for rapid response initiatives and new downtown surveillance cameras, all aimed at bolstering public safety efforts.

Regionally, discussions are progressing on charter reforms, including measures focused on police accountability and city council structures. A recent report from the Chief Legislative Analyst is anticipated to shape the direction of these proposed changes. Meanwhile, the city continues to address infrastructure needs. The $14 million Foothill Boulevard improvement project between Benson and Euclid is progressing towards an anticipated August 2026 completion, and the city has secured $12 million in one-time funds for critical street and alley repairs.

The Happening Network brings you the latest community updates from Upland.

The Upland Lemon Festival recently concluded in the downtown area, drawing significant crowds for its various attractions and musical acts. The event, which required temporary traffic and parking adjustments, successfully wrapped up last night, with organizers reminding residents of continued pedestrian safety in the area. The City Council is also scheduled to meet tonight at 6 PM to address local governance and community issues.

In education news, the Upland Unified School District proudly announced that its Class of 2026 collectively earned over $1.1 million in scholarships. These impressive achievements highlight the dedication and academic success of local students, with many graduates embarking on diverse educational paths at various universities.

Looking ahead, the community is preparing for the start of the FIFA World Cup, with matches scheduled at SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles area. To assist event-goers, Metrolink is introducing enhanced service from Upland, providing convenient transit options. Designated fan zones will also be available at locations such as the Pomona Fairplex. Residents utilizing Metrolink should anticipate increased ridership and a lively atmosphere during match days, especially with late-night departures.

Local public safety reports remind residents to stay vigilant. Recent trends indicate instances of retail disruptions and minor public disturbances. Authorities also responded to reports of unusual activity involving an individual in the community. Concerns regarding package security have also been noted, prompting residents to take proactive measures.

The weather forecast for the upcoming week indicates clear skies and rising temperatures. Highs are expected to reach into the low nineties by Wednesday, and residents are advised to stay hydrated and take necessary precautions against the heat through June 15th.

Motorists should continue to exercise caution due to ongoing utility work and road rehabilitation on Foothill Boulevard near 14th Street. Periodic lane shifts and temporary traffic management devices are in place to ensure both worker and motorist safety.

The local real estate market continues to show activity, with the median price for single-family homes experiencing a recent increase. Limited inventory indicates a competitive market for prospective homebuyers. Additionally, Upland's culinary scene is evolving with new establishments, including a Mediterranean-style restaurant and a new location for a Hawaiian barbecue eatery, offering diverse dining choices for residents. Local youth sports programs, such as Strength and Honor MMA, are also seeing young competitors prepare for upcoming events, demonstrating dedication and skill, while the Highlanders' football schedule for the fall season has been released.]]></content:encoded>

Upland residents are encouraged to stay informed on local developments as the city navigates a busy start to June. Upland High School is adjusting its graduation ceremony schedule, moving start times later in the evening to ensure comfort for all attendees, given the potential for afternoon heat. Additionally, the school district is continuing its commitment to campus safety, with new fencing and digital check-in systems being installed at several elementary school locations to enhance security for students and staff.

Authorities are also advising the community about recent public safety matters. There have been reports of increased property safety concerns involving vehicle components in the northern part of the city. Residents are urged to remain vigilant, secure their vehicles, and report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement. Furthermore, a fraudulent phone scheme targeting residents, particularly seniors, has been identified. Individuals posing as utility company representatives are reportedly demanding payments via gift cards. The Upland Police Department reminds everyone that legitimate utility companies do not request payment in this manner and advises residents to verify unsolicited calls.

For those commuting, roadwork is underway in various areas. Pavement rehabilitation is taking place on 24th Street near the San Antonio Heights border, and minor utility work is scheduled on Mountain Avenue. Drivers should anticipate potential minor delays and exercise caution when traveling through these areas. Looking ahead, the city's summer concert series at Memorial Park is set to begin this Sunday, offering free community entertainment, and the Farmers' Market will be open Saturday morning. The week's weather forecast predicts a transition from morning clouds to pleasant low-80s temperatures, warming further to the mid-to-high 80s by the weekend.]]></content:encoded>

The City of Upland is currently addressing a projected budget deficit of $1.1 million due to decreased sales tax revenue, with officials evaluating potential service adjustments. Concurrently, the Upland Unified School District faces a significant financial challenge, anticipating an $8.5 million deficit.

Looking ahead, residents can expect a warming trend this week, with temperatures projected to reach the high 80s and low 90s, ideal for outdoor activities.]]></content:encoded>

Upland is seeing a vibrant mix of community activities and important city updates this week. Residents are encouraged to engage with local events, stay informed about city planning, and be aware of ongoing infrastructure improvements affecting daily commutes.

The City Council recently convened on April 27, with a Special Finance Committee Meeting scheduled for April 29 at 4:00 PM, inviting community participation and insight into local governance. Regarding public safety, authorities have noted traffic activity on the 210 freeway near Campus Avenue, advising residents to drive with caution and remain vigilant.

Local sports teams are making headlines, with the Upland High Highlanders varsity baseball team playing a three-game series against Los Osos, including a home game on April 27 and an away game on April 29. The Upland High softball team also plays today, April 28, at Rancho Cucamonga at 3:15 PM. For those seeking social opportunities, an LGBTQ+ Speed Dating event is set for tonight, April 28, at Back To The Grind at 6:00 PM.

A new L&L Hawaiian Barbecue has opened its doors on Foothill Boulevard at 1550 West Foothill, offering a new dining experience for the community. Drivers should be aware of the ongoing Foothill Boulevard rehabilitation project, which began in October and is expected to continue until August. This project, involving asphalt grinding and new traffic signals, aims to improve local infrastructure and water service delivery, though it may cause temporary traffic adjustments. The local real estate market shows a median listing price around $827,500, with a limited inventory of homes.

Looking ahead to the weekend, the Epic Events Center will host a First Friday Rodeo Party on May 1 at 9:00 PM. On Saturday, May 2, the Pomona Valley Alumnae Chapter presents "May Day in the Park" at Red Hill Park, a free outdoor event. The popular Downtown Farmers Market continues every Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Weather forecasts indicate pleasant conditions, with temperatures around 75 degrees today, cooling slightly mid-week, and rising to 77 degrees for the weekend, offering ideal conditions for outdoor activities.]]></content:encoded>

Upland is navigating distinct financial landscapes for its city operations and local educational institutions. The city administration recently reported a projected small surplus for the 2026 fiscal year, attributed to strategic financial management that offset a decline in sales tax revenue. In contrast, the local school district is confronting significant fiscal challenges for the 2026-27 school year, involving discussions around staffing adjustments and potential program consolidations. Community engagement at recent school board meetings has highlighted these budgetary considerations.

Regarding community safety, authorities continue to address concerns related to vehicle security. Reports indicate an ongoing need for residents to ensure their vehicles are properly secured, as incidents involving vehicle and personal item thefts have been noted. On a positive note for local commerce, a new establishment, "New Indian Restaurant," has opened on Foothill Boulevard, garnering favorable reviews for its authentic North and South Indian cuisine and homestyle atmosphere.

The week ahead offers various community activities, including high school sports. The Upland High Varsity Baseball team is scheduled to play Damien today, April 20th, with the softball team facing Etiwanda tomorrow, and another baseball game against Chino Hills on Thursday. For community events, today is the final day for food truck vendors to submit applications for the popular Moonlight and Music series, which will feature Thursday night concerts at Magnolia Park starting in June. Weekend activities include a live music performance at Hi Brow Lounge, a Mahjong session at Almond Haus, and a Dungeons and Dragons group meeting.

The weather forecast predicts a mild day today, with temperatures around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. However, residents can anticipate a warming trend throughout the week, with highs expected to reach the low eighties by Friday and Saturday under clear, breezy conditions. Motorists should continue to plan for potential delays due to the ongoing Foothill Boulevard rehabilitation project, which includes water line upgrades, new curbs, and paving, extending through August as part of the Route 66 Centennial initiatives.

In the local real estate market, the median list price in Upland experienced a slight dip last month, settling around $743,000. Despite this, the market remains competitive due to limited inventory. Looking ahead, the annual Lemon Festival is scheduled for June, promising another vibrant community gathering.]]></content:encoded>

The City of Upland is grappling with a projected $1.6 million drop in sales tax revenue, leading to a $1.1 million budget gap. City officials are planning to cut approximately $500,000 across all departments and are considering reductions to community programs. Assistant City Manager Stephen Parker noted that interest income and grants have offset some of the losses. The city has secured nearly $12 million in extra funding since 2022.  

Upland Police Department responded to an incident last Friday in the 9100 block of North Benson Avenue. Authorities are also addressing ongoing concerns about motor vehicle theft in the area. Residents are advised to take precautions to protect their vehicles.  

Upland High School has been recognized as a 2026 California Distinguished School. The Upland Unified School District is offering Wednesday Webinars for family engagement, and summer program enrollment is currently open.  

Road construction continues on Foothill Boulevard from Benson to Euclid as part of a $13.2 million project in preparation for the Route 66 Centennial. The project involves water pipeline work and asphalt reconstruction. Some work is being conducted at night to minimize disruption.  

The local real estate market remains a seller's market, with the median list price in Upland hovering around $743,000. Despite a slight decrease from last year, prices remain high, with a recent sale of a fixer-upper on Amber Court going for $755,000.]]></content:encoded>

Upland residents can expect significant traffic disruptions as the Mission Boulevard Bridge replacement project begins on April 6. The 91-million-dollar project aims to replace the 70-year-old bridge, deemed seismically deficient. Stage 1 of the project starts today, with an estimated completion date in 2029. Lane closures are expected, and drivers should plan for delays when crossing the river. The project will include a multi-purpose trail for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting to the Santa Ana River Trail.

An Easter Sunday vehicle pursuit led by the CHP that began in Ventura County passed through Upland. The incident raised concerns about public safety. Authorities apprehended a suspect after the incident.

The Upland Unified School District is continuing its rollout of wellness centers for students. Upland High School's baseball team is currently enjoying a successful season, with a notable victory over Kennedy High School. They are scheduled to compete against Chino Hills High School. Weather forecasts predict a shift from recent high temperatures to cooler conditions with rain and potential thunderstorms later this week.

Local events include a cornhole tournament at Pro-Five Brewing on Eleventh Street and a free kids' event called Ocean Discovery. The real estate market in Upland remains competitive, with a high median home value and low inventory. Construction projects, including the I-10 express lane work and local rehab projects, continue to impact traffic on Foothill Boulevard.]]></content:encoded>

Upland is experiencing unusually high temperatures for March, with residents feeling the heat. The community is also facing several ongoing challenges. A Tesla Supercharger station on Arrow Route remains closed due to failing to meet state requirements, impacting electric vehicle owners. The station has been closed since August 2025.  

Ongoing construction on Foothill Boulevard between Benson and Euclid is causing significant traffic delays. The project, which includes asphalt grinding and roadway resurfacing, is expected to continue until August. Residents are advised to plan for disruptions and potential noise.  

The Upland Unified School District is promoting its summer programs, including arts and enrichment activities for younger students. Enrollment for the Summer Bridge program, which begins in June, opened in early March. The district recently celebrated student achievement at Upland High School and recognized the success of Black History Night in February.]]></content:encoded>

Upland is experiencing the ripple effects of widespread student walkouts throughout the Inland Empire. Students are protesting in support of immigrant communities, joining a 'National Shutdown' advocating for the abolition of ICE and enhanced sanctuary city policies. While Upland Unified has remained relatively quiet, nearby districts are seeing a drop in attendance as students participate in demonstrations.  

A traffic incident in neighboring Pomona serves as a somber reminder of roadway safety. Authorities are investigating after a skateboarder was struck in a hit-and-run. The incident underscores the need for caution and awareness on local roads.  

Ongoing construction projects continue to impact Upland residents. The Foothill Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation project, slated to last until August, is causing significant delays. Bridge work on the I-10 Express Lanes further exacerbates traffic congestion. Commuters are advised to plan accordingly and expect disruptions.  

In community news, Rescue Brewery and Gastropub is highlighted as a local establishment with a charitable focus. The brewery donates a portion of its beer sales to support first responders and animal rescue organizations. They are located at 167 North 2nd Avenue in Historic Downtown Upland.  

The real estate market in Upland remains challenging. While the median list price is high, the actual sold price is lower, indicating a potential shift in buyer sentiment. High housing costs and rental rates continue to be a concern for residents.]]></content:encoded>

Upland is gearing up for the grand opening of the Upland High School's renovated athletic field on Wednesday, February 18th. The field boasts new artificial turf, a high-tech scoreboard, and an enhanced sound system. The project was funded by community donors and aims to foster school spirit and promote healthy living. 

Commuters should prepare for delays as the Foothill Pavement Rehabilitation and Utility Improvements Project officially enters its construction phase. The $13.2 million project will bring lane reductions and detours from Benson to Euclid. The city is also working on bridge demolition and construction for the I-10 Express Lanes project at Campus Avenue, Sultana, and Euclid, which may cause noise. Residents are advised to be cautious while driving. 

In local happenings, a shoplifting incident involving a man and his stepson occurred. In addition, authorities investigated a burglary at a dental office in the Inland Empire. The 'Upland Today' magazine features Mayor Bill Velto's claims of reduced crime rates and improved police response times. 

For Valentine's Day weekend, Wicked Cow Burgers and Brews will have a special menu. Bullwinkle's is hosting 'Valentines Park After Dark' with go-karts, laser tag, and speed dating. Those seeking a quieter experience can explore hiking trails in San Antonio Heights or visit the Downtown Farmers' Market.]]></content:encoded>

The Tesla Supercharger on Arrow Route remains closed since last summer due to an issue identified by San Bernardino County's 'Weights and Measures' division. The chargers were reportedly delivering more amperage than labeled, leading to the shutdown. There is no word on when the station will reopen.

The I-10 Express Lanes project continues, causing traffic disruptions. The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority is widening the freeway and replacing bridges to add two tolled express lanes in each direction. The project aims to reduce congestion by allowing drivers to pay for faster access. The first phase is complete, but the full 33-mile corridor remains under construction.

Earlier this month, a vehicle pursuit ended in Upland. The driver faces an investigation. The incident serves as a reminder that Upland is not immune to incidents from neighboring areas.

In positive news, Nora Maung, a student at Upland High School, has been named a semifinalist for the Jack Kent Cooke College Scholarship Program, a prestigious scholarship worth up to $55,000 per year.

Upland High School sports teams are gearing up for rivalry games against Rancho Cucamonga and Etiwanda. Multiple teams across various sports will be competing.

This week's featured eatery is Hitch Burger Grill, a local burger joint known for its classic burgers and charitable contributions.

Upland's real estate market remains competitive, with median sale prices around $665,000 to $807,000. Homes are selling quickly, with a list-to-sale ratio of 99.2 percent.]]></content:encoded>

This week in Upland saw a relatively uneventful period across various sectors. The City Council met on the 12th for procedural matters and closed sessions, with no further meetings scheduled until January 26th. The Upland Police Department's Nixle feed remained quiet, indicating a lull in major incident reports.

The Upland Unified School District continues its work. The focus remains on keeping students engaged and managing funding.

In local dining news, The Heights Restaurant and Bar offers a solid, unpretentious burger experience. The Upland High School boys' basketball team recently faced a narrow defeat. Community events include a New Moon Sound Bath, a Brunch and Vision Board Party, and Family Storytime at the Upland Public Library. The weather forecast predicts pleasant conditions with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s.

Real estate in Upland presents a mixed picture, with median sale prices ranging from $665,000 to $745,000, and varying days on the market. The market shows signs of correction, offering potential negotiation room for buyers.]]></content:encoded>

Welcome to the latest happenings in Upland. This week's news includes details about a recent robbery and a vehicle pursuit that ended in the city.

Local authorities are investigating a bizarre incident involving a robbery at an ice cream shop. According to reports, the suspect ordered a scoop of Oreo ice cream before allegedly brandishing a knife and demanding money. The incident occurred shortly after Christmas. The cashier complied, and police are seeking a man in his 40s with a mustache and goatee.

In a separate incident, a vehicle pursuit that began in Sherman Oaks concluded in Upland. The incident began when a person allegedly held their father at knifepoint and stole his BMW. The pursuit ended with the individual being apprehended in Upland.

In other news, the Upland City Council will not be meeting until later in January, with their next scheduled meeting on the 26th. The podcast also featured a weather forecast for the week, including a chance of rain on Thursday evening and Friday morning. Road construction continues to be a topic of discussion, with unexplained lane closures and an abundance of traffic cones throughout the city. The hosts also discussed the current state of the real estate market, noting a cooling trend with some price reductions on listings.

Welcome to the latest Upland news update. A commercial gamebird farm in Butte County experienced a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza, resulting in the need to manage a large flock of birds. While not in Upland, this impacts the statewide agricultural economy. Biosecurity at these facilities remains a key concern.  
The Upland Police Department website has been quiet, with a surprising lull in criminal activity. Authorities encourage residents to sign up for Nixle alerts for updates. This break allows officers to focus on other important duties within the community.  
The Upland Unified School District is back in session. The district website highlights the recent Science Fair. Upland High School is also recognized for its Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program, which promotes a positive school culture.  
This week's restaurant review features NORMS, a 24/7 diner known for its reliable American comfort food. It's a community staple offering a diverse menu and welcoming atmosphere.  
In sports, winter sports are underway. A girls' varsity water polo match is scheduled. The football team concluded their season in November. Basketball and soccer seasons are also in progress.  
The Upland Chamber of Commerce is hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Mighty Tykes Gymnastics and a networking breakfast. The Farmers' Market will occur this Saturday in Historic Downtown Upland, alongside a 'Craft Corner' at the library.  
The weather forecast predicts sunny skies and mild temperatures. However, the Foothill Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation project continues to cause traffic delays. Commuters should anticipate closures and allow extra travel time.  
Real estate data presents mixed information. Median sales prices show varying figures, with different sources reporting different values, but the market remains active.]]></content:encoded>

The Upland City Council canceled its last meeting of the year. Local crime rates have decreased significantly, with property and violent incidents down. Authorities remind residents to celebrate responsibly during New Year's Eve. 

The Upland Unified School District is developing its 'Vision 2030' plan, which includes launching specialized academies, such as an Arts Magnet and a Sports Academy, and a new charter high school. 

Secret Sauce, a new Japanese Katsu and curry restaurant in Upland Town Square, was reviewed favorably. 

The Upland High Varsity Boys basketball team experienced losses, while the Freshman Boys Soccer team had significant victories. 

The Foothill Boulevard project is scheduled to continue until August 2026.

Upland is experiencing a lull before the New Year's Eve rush. Aside from a heated parking spot dispute, the city is relatively calm. Authorities report a decrease in major incidents, though residents are reminded to remain vigilant regarding property safety.

The Upland Unified School District is celebrating academic achievements. The annual Upland High School Science Fair showcased nearly 100 students and their diverse projects, with winners advancing to the county level.

Randy's Ringos, a local donut shop, received a five-star review for its classic donuts and iconic pink boxes. The reviewers praised the shop's nostalgic charm and quality treats.

Drivers on the west side of Upland should prepare for delays due to a water main construction project on San Antonio Avenue in Ontario. The project is expected to impact traffic flow near the 10 freeway. Commuters are advised to plan their routes accordingly.

Despite expectations of a market cool-down, Upland's real estate market remains expensive. The median sale price has increased, and homes are selling for just under the asking price. Inventory remains low, maintaining a competitive environment for buyers.]]></content:encoded>

The Upland City Council has cancelled their meeting for December 22nd, with Resolution Number 6520 indicating a preference for holiday rest over addressing city issues like the stalled Amazon Fresh project. Downtown revitalization efforts continue with senior housing projects, while the Route 66 centennial celebration takes precedence over current road conditions. Assistant City Manager Stephen Parker is reportedly enthusiastic about the upcoming centennial. 

In crime news, two individuals were taken into custody for breaking into a dental office and stealing a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal. Separately, there were reports of federal agents conducting activity in Upland, Claremont, and Montclair, causing concern among residents. According to Upland PD statistics, property crime is down 13 percent year over year.

Foothill Boulevard is currently undergoing a 13.2 million dollar rehabilitation project, causing traffic delays and disruptions. The project, which includes asphalt grinding and new landscaping, is expected to last until August 2026. Despite the inconvenience, the city is working towards the Route 66 centennial. Holiday events include a decorating contest and other activities. The weather forecast predicts unusually warm temperatures followed by rain on Christmas Eve.]]></content:encoded>
