Fontana Planning Changes, Measles Cases and I-15 Crash Lead Local Headlines

It has been a busy stretch in Fontana, with public health concerns, housing policy changes and a serious freeway crash drawing attention across the city.

Measles Cases Reported in San Bernardino County

Health officials have confirmed new measles cases in San Bernardino County, prompting renewed reminders about vaccination and symptom awareness.

While cases have not been limited to one specific neighborhood, the increase has raised concerns for families across Fontana. County health teams are monitoring potential exposure sites and urging residents to check immunization records, especially for school-aged children.

Local clinics are also encouraging anyone experiencing fever, rash or respiratory symptoms to call ahead before seeking care.

Planning Commission Moves to Update ADU Rules

The Fontana Planning Commission has voted to move forward with changes that would align the city’s accessory dwelling unit regulations with current state law.

The updates are designed to streamline approvals and reduce local barriers for homeowners looking to build ADUs, often called granny flats or backyard homes. Supporters say the move could help ease housing pressure and give property owners more flexibility.

The proposal is expected to head to the City Council for final consideration.

Three-Vehicle Crash Slows I-15 Traffic

A three-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle caused significant delays on Interstate 15 in Fontana late last week.

Emergency crews responded quickly, and lanes were temporarily blocked as authorities investigated and cleared the scene. Drivers experienced heavy congestion during peak travel hours.

Officials have not released additional details about injuries but reminded motorists to use caution and stay alert, particularly during high-traffic periods.

Fontana Recognized Among Safer Cities

In more positive news, a newly released statewide safety ranking placed Fontana among California cities noted for improving public safety metrics.

City leaders pointed to ongoing community policing efforts and neighborhood engagement programs as part of the progress.
