TO SECTION 10.24.190 OF THE SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PROHIBITED ON CERTAIN STREETS.
WHEREAS, the City of San Bernardino ("City") is a charter city organized and existing
under the Constitution and laws of the State of California; and
WHEREAS, as a result of increased development and activity in the City and just beyond its
city limits, there has been an increase in commercial vehicles traversing city streets, and it is
expected that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future; and
WHEREAS, an increase in commercial vehicles traversing certain city streets not designed
or constructed for such loads will result, generally, in a more rapid deterioration of those streets,
resulting in additional costs to the City for more frequent repairs, etc.; and
WHEREAS, such an increase in commercial vehicles will result in a traffic congestion
pattern which will have a negative impact on the commercial attractiveness of certain business areas
in the City and potentially result in a loss of revenue to the City; and
WHEREAS, due to said design, construction and congestion, such an increase in commercial
vehicles traversing certain city streets will result in safety issues and problems relative to
pedestrians, parked vehicles, other moving vehicles, and potentially real property.
