In Honor of Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui |
|
Yesterday, August 29th, was a day to remember in our town, Norco California. Thousands of people in and around our community came out to honor and mourn the loss of our fallen hero, Lance Cpl. Kareem Mae’Lee Grant Nikoui. Kareem was a graduate of Norco High School in 2019 and served in the schools Air Force JROTC.
American Legion Post 328 started the day by hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser for Kareem’s family. At 10am, supporters gathered at George Ingalls Equestrian Park and hiked to Pumpkin Rock where there was a prayer and playing of “Taps”. The community gathered again for an unforgettable memorial drive/ride down Sixth Street Norco. Thousands of people from the community came out to support on horseback, golf carts, tractors and more with huge displays of American Flags.
Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui’s name will forever be branded on our hearts and this day will never be forgotten. Below is just a glimpse of community members and volunteers coming together to honor this brave young man...

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Riverside County Transportation Commission, in partnership with Caltrans, the Orange County Transportation Authority, the Transportation Corridor Agencies, and the City of Corona, is building the 91 Corridor Operations Project. The project will add a lane to westbound 91 for approximately two miles between the Green River Road on-ramp and the southbound 241 connector. The new lane, which will be built next to the outer shoulder, will help relieve westbound traffic congestion through this heavily traveled corridor and is expected to open in late 2021.
Please stay connected through construction updates, follow @therctc on social media, and watch for lane closures, narrower lanes, construction crews and equipment, and changing conditions on the 91 and Green River Road. Noisy work also may be required.

Drivers will be able to enter and exit the tolled facility at multiple locations, and the project continues RCTC's ongoing commitment to expand the express lanes network.
