An
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Grant Yates, City Manager
Prepared by: Nicole Dailey, Assistant to the City Manager
Date: September 8, 2020
Subject: Railroad Canyon Road and Main Street Interchange Underpass Art Designs
Recommendation
Review and approve the underpass art designs for the future Railroad Canyon Road and Main
Street Interchanges.
Background
Since 2015, the City has been focused on promoting and enhancing arts and culture in our
community to beautify and bring economic vitality to the City and include, when possible,
incorporating public art into City capital projects. Examples include the art panels at W hisker’s
Fishing Beach, the art structures along Collier Avenue, and, most recently, the light sculptures in
the Historic Main Street Parking Lot.
Currently, the City is in various stages of securing approval and funding to improve all five of its
existing Interstate 15 (I-15) interchanges. The ultimate I-15 Railroad Canyon Road interchange is
fully funded, approved, and now under construction. Also, the City has secured the funding and
approvals needed to proceed with the construction of improvements on the Main Street
Interchange, which should begin next year.
The City has been working with our consultants, David Evans and Associates, Inc., and Hunt
Designs, to identify proposed aesthetic treatments for the walls of these future underpasses on
each of these interchange projects. The City intends to do incorporate these wall treatments into
the future designs of all underpasses as we proceed with the approval and construction of all
interchange improvements.
Discussion
Attached in Exhibit A and B are the proposed art designs for the future Railroad Canyon Road
and Main Street Interchange projects, respectively.
Both underpasses are proposed to include six metal art panels on both the north and south
walls (12 total). The panels will be custom backlit, perforated art designs that include the
common swishes of the City’s logo to tie into our branding. Also, each wall will include a panel
with the City’s “E” and the appropriate name of the street.

The City plans to have a unique theme for the panels under each underpass based on where
they are located. The proposed Railroad Canyon Road art designs are centered around the
City’s appeal to action sports since it serves as the primary roadway to reach top extreme
destinations like Elsinore Skydive, Diamond Stadium, and the Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park.
The Main Street interchange, the entranceway to Historic Downtown, includes art designs
capturing historical elements of our City.
These proposed concepts and art designs have been refined several times and are being
presented to the City Council for final review and approval. The City Council’s Beautification
Subcommittee has reviewed both. Once final approval is given, the final design packages will
be submitted to Caltrans for final approval. As of now, Caltrans has already approved the
proposed art concept and materials.
Construction of the I-15 Railroad Canyon Road Interchange is expected to be complete in late
2022, while the Main Street Interchange should be completed in 2021.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact on the review and approval of the art design action requested. However,
the estimated future cost of the fabrication and installation of the art panels is approximately
$250,000 to $350,000 per interchange. These costs and agreements will be presented to the City
Council at a future date and funded by the Capital Improvement Budget.

ACTION SPORT (also adventure sport and extreme sport):
