The City of Tustin has been ranked No 1 in the state and 12^th nationwide in Fortune’s 25 Best Places to Live for Families. In its study, Fortune analyzed nearly 2,000 cities and towns across the United States that best address the needs of multigenerational households. 

Fortune’s analysis considered education quality, aging resources, general wellness factors, affordability, and livability issues such as crime rates, and diversity.

 “We are honored to be recognized as one of the Best Places to Live for Families,” said Mayor Austin Lumbard. “Tustin is a place for all generations and every walk of life. We take pride in ensuring Tustin is a safe city with beautiful parks, diverse housing, great shopping, dining, a vital workforce and outstanding schools.”

A recent Fortune survey found that nearly half of Americans who are raising children under the age of 18 are also having to bear the responsibility of caring for aging family members. This group, commonly known as the “sandwich generation,” was the focus population used for the Fortune rankings. The cities which made the top 25, are most likely to have access to critical resources, community support, and financial wellbeing.

OCTA in cooperation with Caltrans is improving 4 miles of SR-55 between I-405 and I-5. Crews are preparing the corridor for construction, and activities include:

• Restriping lanes along SR-55

• Placing temporary concrete barriers, lighting and cones

• Installing reduced speed limit, construction and detour signs

The project will add one regular lane and one carpool lane in each direction to reduce congestion and improve mobility. In addition, the project will add merge lanes between several interchanges.

A live, interactive Project Google map is available. You can bookmark the map for quick access to real-time construction information, including scheduled closures and detours.
