INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM

'"
FROM:
Henry Empeiio, Jr., Deputy City Attorney
DATE:
January 22, 1997
RE:
Council Meeting on January 27, 1997
Rehabilitation of Pavement on Tippecanoe Avenue
This item was continued from the November 18, 1996 Council Meeting in part
because the City Attorney advised that this project was not in compliance with State law
requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) [Public Resources
Code Section 21000, et ~.].
Although the Development and Environmental Review Committee on November 14,
1996, voted to clear this project to the Council with a recommendation to adopt the
proposed Negative Declaration, the proposed Negative Declaration was not placed before
the Council at the November 18,1996 meeting.
Prior to the January 27, 1997 Council Meeting, the Mayor and Council must be
given copies of the Initial Study, the Comments and Response to Comments, and the
proposed Negative Declaration. Any motion of the Council which approves the plans for
Rehabilitation of Pavement on Tippecanoe Avenue must include language which adopts
the Negative Declaration.

300 NORTH "D" STREET
SAN BERNARDlNO, CA 92418
RE: PROPOSED RAISED MEDIAN ON TIPPECANOE AVENUE
NORTH OF THE 1-1 0 FREEWAY
Dear Mayor and Common Council:
We are the professional civil engineering firm used by In-N-Out Burger and have been consulting with them
regarding the City proposed raised median project in front ofth,eir store since September oflast year. Based on
the results of our findings, it is our strong recommendation that you vote in favor of the second staff
recommended alternative motion as outlined in the undated request for Council action submitted by Roger
Hardgrave. We received a copy of this request from Roger on January 6 after our meeting with Roger, Phil
Arvizo, Henry Empeno, Thrifty Oil, Shell and In-N-Out Burger.
The second staff recommended alternative motion is to approve Plan No. 9459 for the rehabilitation of
pavement (and the installation of a 50 foot long raised curbed median between Route 1-10 and Rosewood Drive)
on Tippecanoe A venue from Route 1-10 to Hospitality Lane and to authorize for the advertisement of bids.
Please fmd attached to this letter a copy of our proposed median and striping plan dated January 17, 1997
reflecting the design that would be acceptable to In-N-Ont Burger. The proposed 50 foot long raised tapered
median is to allow for the installation of City signage and landscaping as discussed at our January 6 meeting.
The recommended shortened median appears to be the only logical alternative based on the December 12, 1996
decision by the major projects task force of the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) as
reported by the Inland Empire Sun in their December 13 issue. SANBAG voted to earmark $4,000,000 for the
preparation of new design plans for three interchanges, one of which is at Tippecanoe A venue and Route 1-10,
Until these design plans, with a full enviromnental study and review, have been completed, it would be short
sided and fiscally irresponsible to construct the initially proposed full length raised landscaped median on
Tippecanoe A venue in which a good portion may need to be removed once the design plans have heen
completed, Who knows, the ramp system at Tippecanoe A venue may end up being reconfIgured with a
cloverleaf design or a ramp separation similar to what was done at Carnegie Drive and Waterman Avenue,
Weare all interested in improving public heath and safety and providing the most efficient means of traffic
movements. This is why we are in opposition to a raised landscaped median on Tippecanoe Avenue with no
opening at Rosewood Drive. If the SANBAG commissioned interchange design plans maintain the current
ramp alignment, then we would recommend that the raised landscaped median be continued northward but that
an opening and a four-way signal be installed at both Rosewood Drive and at Laurelwood Drive similar to the
December 26, 1996 plan attached to this letter. This solution maintains important access for various existing
businesses (In-N-Ont Burger, Thrifty Oil, Shell, Best Buy, Sportsmart, Sam's Club, etc.) and future retail
development of the surrounding land. It also provides an efficient operational solution for redirecting the
current queue length of vehicles traveling eastbound on Rosewood Drive trying to turn southbound at
Tippecanoe Avenue and vehicles traveling northbound on Tippecanoe Avenue trying to turn westbound at
Rosewood Drive.

The last issue I wanted to point out is that we disagree with the above mentioned staff report submitted by
Roger Hardgrave with respect to the cost savings between the two alternatives. The original City glans called
for 1310 feet oflandscaped median to be constructed at an approximate cost we estimate to be $8 ,000. Our
recommended alternative calls for 50 feet of landscaped median to be constructed at an approximate cost we
estimate to be $3,000. Using a consistent ten percent contingency factor, we estimate a total saving of
approximately $85,000 versus the $30,000 saved as stated in the staff report.
We appreciate your thoughtful attention to this matter and urge you to vote for the shortened median alternative.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me either before or during the January 27, 1997
hearing on this subject.

300 NORTH "D" STREET
SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92418
RE: PROPOSED RAISED MEDIAN ON TIPPECANOE AVENUE
NORTH OF TIffi 1-10 FREEWAY
Dear Mayor and Common Council:
We are the professional civil engineering firm used by In-N-Out Burger and have been consulting with them
regarding the City proposed raised median project in front of their store since September oflast year. We
obtained a copy of the City proposed 50 foot long raised median option (your Motion No.2 on Agenda Item
No. 30 at your January 27,1997 public hearing) via fax late yesterday. We had to request this information
from Roger Hardgrave -- it was not given to us earlier as per our original arrangement. A copy of this plan
with their corresponding construction notes is attached to this letter for reference. This option does not solve
any of our concerns at outlined in my January 17 letter to you for the following reasons:
1. The proposed striping is at the same alignment as the originally proposed raised median option. The
striping only provides a protected width of 8 feet at Rosewood Drive. Vehicles will not have enough
room to make left hand turns at Rosewood Drive or at any of the affected business driveways from
Tippecanoe Avenue. A minimum painted pocket width of 11 feet is required with revised lane striping
closely matching our proposed median and striping plan dated January 17, 1997, that I gave to you
earlier.
2. Construction notes 1 and 2 for the installation of the full length raised median up to Laurelwood Drive,
and probably beyond up to Hospitality Lane, still remain on this "shortened 50 foot long median" option
as presented to you by Roger.
3. The proposed Type "H" pavement markers at 24 feet on center, Construction Note 1 0, for the center
protected turning lane are an improper use of striping and markers. These markers were to be installed
only in conjunction with the City's future raised median option which we are in strong opposition.
Striped left turn pockets should be installed with a revised through lane layout per my referenced January
17 plan in order to provide the needed left turn movements.
4. The proposed 50 foot long raised median by the City does not include a taper transition for north-bound
vehicles who want to turn left at Rosewood Drive. This will significantly reduce the storage capacity for
these vehicles wanting to turn left by at least 40 feet or 2 cars.

We appreciate your thoughtful attention to this matter and apologize for the lateness of this letter.
Unfortunately, it was beyond our control. We urge you to vote for the shortened median alternative
(modified Motion No.2) as proposed by our January 17, 1997 median and striping plan (see attached) and
not the version presented by City staff. You of course have the option of not installing any raised median at
all and just restripe the street per our attached January 17, 1997 median and striping plan. We are very
frustrated at this apparent last ditch effort by Roger to install a shortened median that looks like we can
maintain left turn movements but in actually prohibits them from occurring. If you have any further
questions, please feel free to contact me either before or during the January 27, 1997 hearing on this subject.

RE; PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT NO, 96-01
MEDIAN ISLAND CONSTRUCTION IN TIPPECANOE A VENUE
THRIFIT OIL NO. 345
1945 TIPPECANOE A VENUE, SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA
Dear Mr. Grubbs:
Please allow this letter to serve as Thrifty Oil Co.'s unequivocal objection to the above-referenced
Public Works median project in the City of San Bernardino, California.
Thrifty Oil Co. operates an Arco service station and Sunshine Food Store at the above-referenced
address. Our preliminary estimates indicate the proposed median project \vill quite literally cur our
business and revenue in half; more specifically, Thrifty would sufter a loss of revenue between
$75,000.00 and 5100,000.00 per month. Without a doubt this would necessitate Thriftv Oil to
terminate and abandon ollr ooeration at this site in the City of San Bernardino.
Thrifty is supportive of the City's efforts to provide aesthetic improvements along the City's
thoroughfares. However, when said improvements jeopardize the economic well-being of the City's
businesses, then there needs to be a serious re-examination ofthe proposed improvements. Thrifty
would be more than happy to sit down with the City's statT to discuss various alternatives to the
proposed improvements.
Please reserve a time for us to speak at the October 17, 1996 Environmental Review Committee
hearing. Furthermore, we reserve the right to provide additional testimony in both verbal and written
form.

We understand that the Public Works Department, while it still
recommends that you approve the above project as originally
designed, has also submitted an alternative for your consideration.
The alternative includes pavement improvements and a landscaped,
raised median from the 1-10 offramps to Rosewood Drive, with
striping and left turn lanes from Tippecanoe onto Rosewood.
The abbreviated staff report which my client received only
briefly mentioned the proposed alternative and did not include a
proposed design nor a plat. MSL Engineering, my client civil
engineer, has submitted to you, by letter dated January 17, 1997,
a proposed design and plan for a shortened median and lane
striping. My client supports that design alternative and believes
that will satisfy the needs of the businesses at that intersection
and the other businesses served by Rosewood Drive.
San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) has
commissioned new interchange design plans for the 1-10/Tippecoanoe
interchange and we believe the undivided median supported by the
Public Works Department is not warranted in light of the fact that
the interchange may be significantly altered under the new design.
Furthermore, as my client has emphatically said the undivided
median has a severe impact on traffic circulation and patterns in
this area and is based upon outdated and erroneous assumptions.
My client has previously appeared before the City's Traffic
Safety Committee, Environmental Review Committee and you regarding
this project. 1n-n-Out Burger does respectfully request that its
previous letters, and those from me, MSL and WPA Traffic Engineers
be made part of the record of Public Works Project 96-01.
As the previous correspondence submitted on behalf of my
client says, 1n-n-Out believes that the original proposal is not
warranted and that the proposed negative declaration for the
original, undivided median does not satisfy the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act.
My client supports the alternative (a short median from the
interchange to Rosewood) in principle. My client would like the
opportunity to review and comment upon the design, as the city
staff has not proposed one. (The design proposed by my client's
engineer implements the proposed alternative and my client supports
the use of that design by the City.)

Committee regarding the above project.
My client plans to appear at the November 18, 1996, Common

SUBJECT: SUMMARY OF TRAFFIC ISSUES - TIPPECANOE/ROSEWOOD
Dear Mr. Encinas:
This letter report has been prepared as an addendum to our October 16, 1996 and October 30, 1996
correspondence regarding the proposed raised median project on Tippecanoe Avenue. This median
project, planned by the City of San Bernardino, would eliminate left turn access to and from
Rosewood Drive. Our analyses of this project and potential alternatives include review of vario'us
documents, such as the "Staff Report' for the November 13, 1996 Traffic Safety Committee meeting,
City responses to written and verbal comments on Project 96-01 (the raised median), the Tri-City
traffic study!, and other information pertinent to this project.
The following are a summary of pertinent traffic issues related to the proposed median project and
justification for extended consideration of alternatives, Many of these issues have been identified in
our past letters. These are important traffic factors that warrant a more thorough evaluation prior
to continuing with the proposed median project.
"TrafFIC Impact Study for Tri--City Corporate Centre Master PIDn"; Barton-Aschman Associates,
Inc.; Revised October. 1991.
.....~ A"\~ t:'" .t.., n....:.......,. ~..;..... . c: .:._ ~'"'"
. f J:"~ r-.\ r'\.....,....,........
-2-
A summary of some of the pertinent traffic issues is listed below.
. The potential for the installation of a traffic signal at Tippecanoe I Rosewood should not be
discounted without full detailed analyses. Our evaluation shows the signal to be a viable
option with acceptable operations. (SEE PAST AND PRESENT ANALYSES.)
o This arrangement has worked at other locations. (SEE EXAMPLES ATTACHED.)
o The intersection meets Caltrans traffic signal warrants. (SEE ATTACHED
SHEETS.)
o The signalization is shown to mitigate the LOS F conditions described by Staff and
referenced in the Tri-City traffic study. (SEE TABLE 1.)
o The raised median does not mitigate the actual observed problem of the high
southbound through volumes combined with the high eastbound right turn.
o Schematic figures show how the signal can be coordinated with the adjacent ramp
signal to mitigate some of the existing problems. (SEE FIGURES lA - !D.)
. The traffic signal is a viable option which could create a "win-win" type situation for both the
City of San Bernardino and the existing businesses.
o Existing accesses are maintained for the existing businesses at the corners and also
accommodates the existing retail uses at and near Tri-City (i.e. Best Buy,
Sportsmart, etc.).
WPA TraffIC Engineering, Inc.

Summary of TraffIC Issues
Tippecanoe I Rosewood- CiJyofSan Bernardino
-T
o By maintaining access at Tippecanoe / Rosewood, the future development options for
the vacant parcels surrounding In-N-Out Burger are increased. MORE THAN ONE
ACCESS MAY BE REQUIRED TO SUPPORT RETAIL DEVELOPMENT OF
TInS AREA.
o Mitigates some of the existing traffic problems.
-+ The City proposed raised median has the potential to create added impacts at other locations.
o Concentrates more traffic at the In-N-Out Burger Tippecanoe Avenue driveway,
creating potential back-ups and impacts to Tippecanoe Avenue.
o Potential added traffic and impacts to the residential neighborhood of Laurelwood
Drive.
o A significant amount of Tri-City related traffic appears to be impacted by the raised
median. These customers would need to find alternative routes to what is presently
their preferred drive.
o Does not solve the existing problem of eastbound queues and southbound queues.
-+ A long-range study is needed to examine the real future needs and options that are available
if this interchange is to serve both the Nortoll redevelopment and development in the
immediate area.

o The Tri-City traffic study examined only short-term conditions and is outdated.
Existing conditions have changed significantly, the related projects being considered
now are significantly different, and due to the short-term type of analyses, the
proposed recommendations may not support the potential development planned
and/or desired by the City.
o The 1-10 interchange at Tippecanoe Avenue may need to be reconflgured to provide
the desired access and to support the potential level of development.
o The raised median is not a long-term solution. It even has interim / short-term
impacts.
OVERALL, THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL APPEARS TO BE THE BEITER "INTERIM"
SOLUTION FROM A TRAFFIC PERSPECTIVE.
1) The redistribution of existing traffic is less severe, which results in less potential traffic
impacts than the raised median proposal.
2) The traffic signal is a viable option, which can be designed to work satisfactorily.
3) Maintains more options when examining the future development options of the Norlon Air
Base and the vacant parcels near Tippecanoe / Rosewood.

EXISTING INTERSECTION MITIGATION
TIPPECANOE I ROSEWOOD
EXISTING CONDITIONS - LOS F
City Staff indicated LOS F operations for existing conditions. Based upon our field
observations, we assume a primary impact is the eastbound right turn back-up and
the southbound through queuing.
RAISED MEDIAN - NO SPECIFIC ANALYSES PERFORMED
Although restricted left turns were identified in the Tri-City traffic study, that was
for different conditions than what is being created by the proposed raised median
project. In addition, one figure included in Appendix A of the Tri-City Land Use
study shows Rosewood Drive as "TO BE VACATED IN THE FUTURE". (SEE
A TT ACHED.) The actual traffic benefits of the raised median were not analyzed
for the Tippecanoe I Rosewood intersection and it is difficult to determine the actual
roadway conditions assumed.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL ALTERNATIVE - LOS C
The intersection improves to LOS C with the traffic signal for the Midday and PM
peak hour conditions. This mitigates the City stated LOS F existing conditions.

SUBJECT: RESPONSES TO CITY STAFF REPORT, "TIPPECANOE A VENUE FROM 1-
10 TO MISSION CREEK (AGENDA ITEM #5)", FOR THE NOVEMBER 13,
1996 MEETING
Dear Mr. Encinas:
The following are brief responses to the City Staff report. The numbers relate to the paragraph
numbers and the Staff report is attached for reference.
1) It is presumed that these complaints / concemsrelate to the eastbound Rosewood Drive back-
up and the southbound TippeCanoe Avenue queuing. The raised median will not mitigate
these impacts.
2) The Tri-City traffic study is outdated and does not examine long-range potential impacts and
needed mitigations.
3) This is an example of how conditions have changed significantly and the Tri-City traffic study
cannot be utilized to satisfY environmental requirements.
?~4?1 SnIJth Pninh.. n~;"p. C::r,H", 10n . ,"'.....,r>... W;tI<: rA o")e::c:., .. 1""1,.n ~c..... f"o""" ~ ...... '/ '.... #' .r-,..~.....
-2-
4) So noted.
5) Potential traffic impacts caused by the raised median proposal (both alternatives) were also
detailed in our comments. The potential traffic impacts (i.e. at the In-N-Out Burger
Tippecanoe Avenue driveway) have not been addressed by the City.
6) The business aspect of their contention is one concern, but notthe only one. A valid traffic
concern is that the option of the signalization of Tippecanoe / Rosewood has not been
thoroughly examined as a viable alternative. In addition, concerns regarding traffic impacts
generated by the raised median have also been detailed.
7) The Tri-City traffic study is not an appropriate document to reference for current conditions.
Our analyses and past experience show that the traffic signal can better mitigate potential
traffic impacts than the raised median.
The situation between the I -10 Ramps and Redlands Boulevard is a very different condition,
including, but not limited to, the different volumes and traffic patterns on Redlands
Boulevard.
Although problems may have been experienced at other locations, the volumes, geometries,
conditions, etc., at the study location need to be reviewed and analyzed.
7a) Given the amount of data and analyses presented, it does not appear reasonable that A
& 7b) TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPTION is not even brought forward for the Committee to consider.
8) Collision Diallram - Although not discussed in the Staff report, the information indicates
that there iLMd. a significant existing accident problem that requires mitigation.

Re: Public Works Project 96-01
Ladies & Gentlemen:
When the Environmental Review Committee referred this matter
back to the Traffic Safety Committee on October 31, 1996, my client
and I understood that the Traffic Safety Committee was specifically
directed to look at and consider other options for the
Tippecanoe/Rosewood intersection, including signalization.
However, the staff report prepared for that meeting flatly
rejects and refuses to consider any such options. The only options
presented are an uninterrupted median now, or a median with a left
turn pocket as a temporary measure, presumably meaning that at some
point the uninterrupted median will be installed.
While City staff has insisted that In-n-Out Burger's
objections to this median are solely economic in nature, we
disagree. My client has presented traffic data prepared by a
registered traffic engineer demonstrating potential circulation and
traffic impacts as a result of this proposed project. This data
constitutes evidence supporting a fair argument that environmental
impacts will result from this project and those impacts have been
ignored in the initial study and the proposed negative declaration.
;
I.
Thus, as we have said before, a focused environmental impact
report or mitigated negative declaration is required to consider
and address those impacts.

I wish also to point out that the City is relying upon the
Tri-City Area plan, which is several years old and which has not
been updated, reviewed or changed, despite significant changes in
circumstances since its adoption.
The "temporary" divided median, combined with proposals by
developers to vacate Rosewood and eliminate access from that street
by turning it into a parking lot for a large-scale commercial
development, presents even greater potential for traffic and
circulation impacts, none of which have been considered in the
review of this project. (In addition, these combined measures will
result in a taking of my client's property by eliminating virtually
all access, as well as the drive-through lanes, of its business.)
While City staff has insisted that there is no application on
file for the commercial project described above, the law does not
require that only projects for which there are applications on file
be considered in the environmental review. process or in other
analyses of this project. The fact is that several departments of
the City are aware of this potential project, regardless of whether
or not actual applications have been filed. It is a possible,
potential future project and must be considered.

Re: Public Works Project No. 96-01
Dear Mr. Finn:
Please provide me with a set of copies of the audio tapes of
the Environmental Review Committee meeting held on October 31,
1996.
I would also like to reiterate my understanding that City
Staff is sending this matter back to the Traffic Safety Committee
meeting on November 13, 1996, with the understanding that the
Traffic Safety Committee will consider other options for the above
project, including signalization of the intersection.
At the October 31 meeting you said that the public comment
period for the initial study had concluded before my comments, and
some of those of my client and other parties present at the ERC
hearing. My client had understood, at the October 17, 1996, ERC
hearing, that the public comment period remained open in light of
the various notice problems which the business owners raised.
In addition, the project which carne before the ERC was a
different project than that which was considered by the Traffic
Safety Committee and different than that described in the initial
study.
At some point in the process, the design for the proj ect
changed from an undivided median to a median with a left turn
pocket. Neither this alternative nor the proposed signalization
alternative were considered in the initial study. Thus, the City
must re-open the public comment period. _
Furthermore, I noted during the meeting and in reviewing the
responses to comments, that several staff members, and particularly
those from the public works department, dismissed the comments of
my client and other business owners as addressing economic, not
environmental impacts. While I disagree vigorously with that

contention, I will point out that the public works department
asserted, as its justification for proceeding with this project
under an accelerated time schedule, economic justifications--that
this project will encourage business development at the former air
base. I do not believe the City can have it both ways--relying
upon economic reas9ns for accelerating this project without full
consideration of all impacts and ramifications and yet dismissing
the concerns of existing businesses as "mere economic concerns".
In addition,

a fair argument that adverse environmental impacts may result from
this project. Thus, either a mitigated negative declaration or a
focused environmental impact report is required. My client has
suggested possible mitigation and has offered to meet with public
works staff to discuss this mitigation, but that staff has refused
to even consider anything other than its original project.
Please contact me as soon as the tapes are ready for me to
pick up. I also would like copies of the City's circulation plan
and of everything in the City's file related to this project which
was not in the file at the time I picked up my earlier set of
copies on October 29, 1996.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Median Island Construction/Tippecanoe Avenue
Public Works Project No. 96-01
Ladies & Gentlemen:
I represent In-N-Out Burger Corporation, owner and operator of
the In-N-Out restaurant located on the northwest corner of
Tippecanoe and Rosewood.
My client objects to the proposed median on Tippecanoe Avenue
and to the proposed negative declaration for that project. The
Initial Study which is before you and' upon which the proposed
negative declaration is. based is flawed and fails to meet the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
Public Resources Code ~~21000, et sea..
In particular, the Initial Study ignores potential traffic
and transportation/circulation impacts of this proposed project and
relies upon a traffic study from 1991, which does not take into
account changes since that time.
The potential traffic and transportation/circulation impacts
are of a level of significance which require, at the very least, a
focused environmeneal impact report on these issues.
My client retained MSL Engineering, Inc. and WPA Traffic
Engineering, Inc. to review this proposed project. Their reports
are necessarily limited, due to the delays in providing notice to
my client of this project and the various city committee reviews of
the project. However, their reports do present substantial evidence
that the impacts on transportation/circulation are significant
enough to require further review under CEQA and mitigation.
Those reports are enclosed, along with the substantiating
materials, which include City traffic count figures and additional
counts initiated by WPA.
J__
.~
Environmental Review Committee
October 30, 1996

The reports indicate that the project impacts existing
circulation plans which can result in traffic queuing on Tippecanoe
around the proposed median. The proposed project also impacts and
may eliminate the drive through lane access at my client's business
and, thus, increase access through the Rosewood driveway and alter
circulation plans in and out of this intersection. As the report
notes, it may also increase the already high traffic volumes at
Rosewood and Harriman.
The information presented in the enclosed materials clearly
indicates a potentially significant impact on traffic and
transportation/circulation, as well as the potential for increasing
traffic accidents as a result of queuing and attempted U-turns.
The City's Initial Study was based upon the 1991 Tri-City
Corporate Center Master Plan traffic study and does not appear to
take into account changes since 1991 and appears to focus on text
of that study which analyzed the potential elimination of left
turns at Rosewood. However, the Initial Study ignores the fact that
the Tri-City Master Plan conclusions assumes left turns at Rosewood
and that its final conclusions are based upon that assumption. MSL
and WPA have included excerpts from that Plan which discussed the
elimination of left turns and the diagrams and other excerpts which
show that the Plan assumes the left turns at Rosewood and
Tippecanoe remain in place. Thus, the Initial Study (and, as we
understand, the City's Traffic Safety Committee) relied upon an
incorrect interpretat ion of this Plan, the Ini t ial Study and,
ultimately the Committee or other decisioris based upon it, are
flawed.
Furthermore, my client has confirmed that neither City staff
nor the Traffic Safety Committee (nor the 1991 Tri-City Master
Plan) ever considered signalization of the Tippecanoe/Rosewood
intersection, nor did they consider other alternatives to this
proposed median which would mitigate its significant impacts.
The enclosed engineering data lS substantial evidence
constituting a fair argument that significant impacts on the
environment can result from this project. Under Public Resources
Code ~~21080 (e), 21082.2 (c) and (d) and the CEQA Guidelines, 14
California Administrative Code ~~15063(b) (1), 15064(g) and 15384,
such evidence of potential traffic and transportation/circulation
impacts require that an EIR be prepared.
Furthermore, Appendix G to CEQA, which lists impacts which are
deemed significant states, at subsection (u) that a project which
disrupts or divides the physical arrangement of an established
community is deemed to have significant environmental impacts.
~.'~-
I~
Environmental Review Committee
October 3D, 1996
Page Three
We also wish to point out that the Initial Study ignores
possible future proj ects which could cumulatively impact this
project and the surrounding environment. In particular, my client
is aware that various City departments have reviewed a preliminary
development scheme for the surrounding area which would expand the
commercial centers at Harriman and Rosewood and which vacates
Rosewood Avenue and turns it into a parking lot. This would
eliminate my client's access to and from Rosewood (as well as that
of other businesses at the intersection) and significantly impact
the Rosewood/Tippecanoe intersection and surrounding properties.
Thus, the only access to a public street will be the limited right-
turn access to and from Tippecanoe Avenue. My client cannot ignore
this potential future action on the part of the City, nor, do we
believe, can the City. (This potential not only poses further
potentially significant environmental impacts, but also would
result in a partial taking of my client's property and right of
access. )
The Initial Study does not include sufficient data to support
its conclusions. The enclosed data presents substantial evidence to
constitute a fair argument that environmental impacts of this
project are significant. Thus, the City must prepare an EIR or
return this matter to staff and the traffic Safety Committee for
consideration of mitigation measures which will reduce the impacts
to a level of insignificance.
The consideration of mitigation measures must involve the
surrounding residents and business owners who are most impacted by
this project.
Please include this letter and the enclosed materials
of the record of the City's review and consideration
proposed negative ~eclaration and of the project itself.
as part

In addition, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act, please include me on the list of people who are to receive
notices related to this project and to receive a copy of the City's
Notice of Determination under CEQA.
My client and I look forward to addressing your Committee at
its meeting tomorrow.

Dear Mr. Encinas:
This letter summarizes our review of the environmental traffic impacts related to the proposed raised
median project on Tippecanoe Avenue. The review is based upon contact with City Staff, materials
provided by City Staff related to this project, field reviews conducted by our staff, and standard
reference materials.
Our preliminary analyses included visits to the project site, conducting traffic counts, contact with
City Staff, and review of the proposed raised median plans. We obtained a copy of the Tri-City
traffic study!, utilized in the environmental assessment of the raised median project, late Friday
(10/25/96). In addition, we met with City Staff on Tuesday (10/29/96) and received written
responses to comments letters regarding this project. We also received Appendix A from City Staff
at this Tuesday meeting.
It should be noted that the time frame to prepare these comments was very limited; therefore, it
should ~ be assumed that the comments in this letter are "all inclusive".

BACKGROUND
. Traffic counts were conducted at the Tippecanoe Avenue / Rosewood Drive intersection
during the Midday and PM peak hours and the results are summarized on Figure 1.
. Field visits to the study area were made by WPA Traffic Engineering, Inc., by our Firm
Principal, Mr. Weston S. Pringle, and our Senior Engineer, Mr. Steven S. Sasaki.
. The traffic studies utilized in the environmental assessment of traffic impacts of the raised
median were obtained.
SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC COMMENTS / QUESTIONS
. The Tri-City traffic study does not contain evaluation of the conditions created by the
proposed raised median project. Are there any other documents that contain analyses of the
specific traffic conditions that result from the proposed median project? For example, the Tri-
City study assumed realignment of Harriman and signalization of Tippecanoe / Harriman.
. Figure I shows 280 and 229 (Midday and PM peak hours, respectively) northbound left turns
that will be redirected as a result of the raised median. This is a significant number of peak
hour left turns. Where will they be redirected to and what are the impacts?
. The Tri-City traffic study analyses were for significantly different traffic conditions. For
example, during the PM peak hour at Tippecanoe / Rosewood:
o The southbound through volume was 1,382 in the Tri-City study and is now 844.
o The eastbound right turn volume was 182 and is now 279.

o The northbound left turn volume was 128 and is now 229.
o The WPA recent counts are verified by the recent City of San Bernardino 24-hour
machine counts.
. The Tri-City traffic study indicated (Page II, "Future Study Area Developments") that only
15 percent of the maximum buildout potential of cumulative projects was considered in the
analyses and only through Year 2002. The raised median analyses should consider a long-
range buildout condition, as it is assumed to be a pennanent fixture. FULL CUMULATIVE
IMPACTS MUST BE ANALYZED.
. The Tri-City traffic study assumes that "Planning Area 3" (the areas surrounding the In-N-
Out Burger site) will have 29,250 square feet (SF) of retail development.
o However, it has been indicated to us that the existing retail development in this
"Planning Area 3" exceeds the 29,250 SF and there is potential for over 500,000 SF
of retail type use on just a portion of "Planning Area 3".
o This potential would generate significantly different traffic volumes, patterns, and
potential impacts, than considered in the Tri-City traffic study.
. There are traffic operational concerns specific to the raised median project that need to be
addressed.
o For example, the intensification of demand for the In-N-Out Burger driveway at
Tippecanoe Avenue due to the median. This is expected to increase queuing at this
location, resulting in potential impacts to Tippecanoe Avenue.

o How existing left turns from Rosewood Drive (both eastbound and westbound) will
be redirected and their potential impacts to adjacent intersections.
o How will southbound left turns at Tippecanoe / Rosewood access the properties on
the east side of the street? What impacts will this create?
*** Installation of a traffic signal at the Tippecanoe / Rosewood intersection appears to mitigate
many of the outstanding environmental traffic issues and appears to provide a better traffic
solution.
o It serves to better accommodate the existing turning movements at this intersection
and reduce the potential impacts of "redirected' traffic.
o It serves to assign right-of-way at this intersection, which appears to be an existing
need.
o It can be coordinated with the Caltrans ramp signal to provide the best possible
operations and may serve to "meter" traffic to the critical ramps and Redlands
Boulevard locations.
o Rather than all of the northbound left turn stacking being provided at Laurelwood, it
can be divided between the Rosewood Drive and Laurelwood intersections.
Therefore, adequate stacking can be provided via two locations, rather than just one.

INITIAL STUDY RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
Responses to In-N-Out Burzer Letter Dl through D9
III
The In-N-Out Burger comment raises concern regarding potential traffic impacts at this access due
to the median project, which also results in potential impacts to Tippecanoe Avenue. Have these
potential traffic impacts been evaluated? If so, the analyses and data should be presented. This is a
.
potential significant traffic impact.
III
The In-N-Out Burger comment raises a real traffic operational concern that should be analyzed, not
just acknowledged. There are significant traffic impacts that could result if the turn pocket is
inadequate to serve the projected traffic. Again, if this issue has been analyzed, the data should be
provided. It can be noted that the Tri-City study did not address this condition. (i.e. In the Tri-City
study, the realignment of Harriman was assumed to be in place and Tippecanoe / Laurelwood was
assumed to be signalized. -. It was Level of Service F without signalization.)
III
Does City Staff have a projection of traffic volumes making the northbound left turn at this referenced
location? The knowledge of the volume of traffic making this left turn would be critical to
determining if the design is adequate or not adequate. The analysis procedure used by the City to
determine that it does not agree should be documented.
Again, the potential added traffic demand at the In-N-Out Burger Tippecanoe Avenue driveway
should be addressed in detail. Our observations indicated existing vehicle queuing back to
Tippecanoe Avenue and added ingress demand at this location could directly impact Tippecanoe
Avenue.

It is indicated in the response that traffic on Tippecanoe Avenue "has increased dramatically in the
past 10 years ..." and it also references analyses in the Tri-City traffic study. As shown earlier in this
letter, however, southbound traffic volumes on Tippecanoe Avenue, south of Rosewood Drive, have
actually decreased from the time of the Tri-City traffic study.
It appears that the analyses of this intersection and the overall median project need to be updated
based on current traffic conditions and projections. In addition, the effects on Level of Service by
signalizing the Tippecanoe I Rosewood intersection should also be fully evaluated as an alternative
mitigation.
M.
The identification of"... 349 feet desirable and 230 feet minimum" appears to be referenced from the
Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. letter from Mr. Andre Groenhoff to Mr. Elliot Shaw, Integra
Engineering Incorporated, dated February 19, 1992. This recommendation is actually for the
"Harriman Place Realigned and Tippecanoe A venue" intersection, not Tippecanoe I Rosewood. It
can be noted that ifleft turn storage is provided at both Tippecanoe I Rosewood and Tippecanoe I
Laurelwood, the cumulative left turn storage will meet the recommendation.
Regarding the third paragraph of the response where weaving from the 1-10 Westbound Off-Ramp
to a potential left turn pocket at Rosewood Drive is identified as a "serious safety problem", it should
be remembered that the 1-10 Westbound Off-Ramp at Tippecanoe Avenue is signalized; so as traffic
exits the off-ramp (turning right), it is protected by the signal control and does -not need to conflict
with traffic as it makes this movement.

Significant traffic issues and potential impacts are still outstanding with regard to the proposed raised
median project. City Staffhas indicated that a traffic signal at Tippecanoe / Rosewood is not feasible,

Dear Mr. Encinas:
This letter summarizes our review of the environmental traffic impacts related to the proposed raised
median project on Tippecanoe Avenue. The review is based upon contact with City StatT, materials
provided by City StatT related to this project, field reviews conducted by our staff, and standard
reference materials.
Our preliminary analyses included visits to the project site, conducting traffic counts, conlact with
City Staff, and review of the proposed raised median plans. We obtained a copy of the Trj.City
traffic study', utilized in the environmental assessment of the raised median project, late Friday
(10/25/96). In addition, we met with City StatT on Tuesday (10/29/96) and received written
.
responses to comments letters regarding this project. We also received Appendix A from City Staff
at this Tuesday meeting.
It should be noted that the time frame to prepare these comments was very limited; therefore, it
should Jlll1 be assumed that the comments in this letter are "all inclusive".

. The Tri-Cily tratTic study <does not contain e\'al\l~tion of the conditions created by the
proposed raised median project Are there any other documents that contain analyses of the
specific traffic conditions that result fi'om the proposed median project? For example, the Tri-
Cily study assullled realignment of Harriman and signalization of Tippecanoe I Harriman

that will be redirected as a result of the raised median This is a significant number of peak
hour left turns Where will they be redirected to and what are the impacts?
. The 71'i-City tramc study analyses were for significantly different tratTic conditions For
example, during the PM peak hOUl at Tippecanoe I Rosewood
o The southbound through volume was 1,382 in the Tri-Cily study and is now 844
o The eastbound right turn volume was 182 and is now 279

o The northbound left turn volume was 12l! and is now 229
o The WPA recent counts are verified bv the recent City of San Bernardino 24-hour
machine counts
. The Tri-CiO' traffic study indicated (Page II, "Flltllre SlIIdy A reo Developme/lts") that only
I 5 percent of the maximum build out potential of cumulative projects was considered in the
analyses and only through Year 2002 Thc raised median analyses should consider a \ong-
range buildout condilion, as it is assumed 10 bc a permanent fixture FllLL CUMULATIVE
IMPACTS MUST BE ANALYZED
. The Trl-City trame study assumes that "PI"n/li/lg A reel 3" (the areas surrounding the l/l-N-
Ou/ Burger site) will have 29,250 square feet (SF) of reI ail development
.
o However, it has been indicated to uS that the existing retail development in this
"Plannillg Area 3" exceeds the 29,250 SF and there is potential for over 500,000 SF
of retail type use on just a portion of "Pla/llli/lg Area 3".
o This potential would generate significantly different traffic volumes, patterns, and
potential impacts, than considered in the Tri-ClfY traffic study
. There are traffic operational concerns specific to the raised median projecl Ihal need to be
addressed
[') For example, the intensification of dcmand for the /l1-N-Out Burger driveway at
Tippecanoe Avenue due to the median This is expected to increase queuing Mthis
location, resuhing in potential impacts to Tippecanoe Avenue

OHow....ill southbound left turns at Tippecanoe / Rosewood access the properties on

*** Installation ofa traffic signal at the Tippecan(\e / Rosewood inter,cction appears to mitigate
many oftne out,tanding en,.in)1\llwntal \fallie i"ues and appear, to provide a beller traffic
solution
o It serves to better accommodate the existing turning movements at this intersection
and reduce the potential impacts of "redirected' tratTlc
o It serves to assign ri'gnt-of-way at this intersFction, which appears to be an existing
need.
o It can be coordinated with the (a/tlUlls ramp signal to provide the best possible
operations and may serve to "meter" traffic to the critical ramps and Redlands
Boulevard locations
o Ratner than all of the northbound left turn stacking being provided at Laurelwood, it
can be divided between the Rosewood Drive and Laurelwood intersections
Therefore, adequate stacking can be provided via two locations. rather than just one

INITIAL STUD Y RE.\'PONSE TO COMMWIS.
Responses to !/J-N-()ut Burger Utter DI throl1J;kI22
III
The 1/J-N-Oul Burger comment raises concern regarding potential traffic impacts at this access due
to the median project, which also results in potential impacts to Tippecanoe Avenue Have these
potential traffic impacts been evaluated? lf so, the analy,es and data should be presented This is a
potential significant traffic impact
/2l
The bl-N-Oul Burger comment raises a real traffic opel ational concern that should be analyzed, not
just acknowledged. There are significant traffic impacts that could result if the turn pocket is
inadequate to serve the projected traffic Again, if this issue has been analyzed, the data should be
provided II can be noted that the Tn-Ci~l' study did not addrt;ss this condition. (i.e In the hi-Cily
study, the realignment of Harriman was assumed to be in place and Tippecanoe I Laurelwood was
assumed to be signalized - II was Level of Service f without signalization.)
III
Does City Staff have a plojection oftral1ic volumes making the northbound left turn at this referenced
location? The knowledge of the volume of traflie making this left turn would be critical to
determining if the design is adequate or not adequate The analYSIS procedure used by the City to
determine that it does not agree should be documented
Again, the potential added traffic demand at the III-lV-Oul Burger Tippecanoe Ave.nue driveway
should be addressed in detail. Our observations indicated existing vehicle queuing back to
Tippecanoe Avenue and added ingress demand at this location could directly impact Tippecanoe
Avenue.

It is indicated in the response that traffic on Tippecanoe Avenue "11m IlIcreased dramalically 111 the
[XLII fO years ..... and it also references analyses in the Tri.City lraffic study As shown earlier in this
letter, however, southbound traffic volumes on Tippecanoe Avenue, south of Rose wood Drive, have
actually decreased from the time of the Tri-Clty traffic study.
It appears that the analyses of this H,rersection and the overall median project need to be updated
based on current traffiC condit ions ami projections In addition, the effects on Level of Service by
signalizing the Tippecanoe! Rosewood intelsection should also be fully evaluated as an alternative
mitigation
III
The identification of". . 349 feet d('wob/e alld 230feet lI/ill;III1/m" appears to be referenced from the
Barton-Aschmall Associatel, IlIe 1~lter from Mr. Andre Groenhof(to Mr. Elliot Shaw, Integra
Ellgineertng IlIcorporated, dated February 19, 1992. This recommendation is actually for the
"Harr;lIIC1n PIClce Real;gned alld liplH:CWIOC A velllle" intersection, not Tippecanoe I Rosewood It
can be noted that if left turn storage is provided at both Tippecanoe I Rosewood and Tippecanoe I
Laurelwood, the cumulative lefl tllrn storage will meet the recommendation
Regarding the third paraglaph of the response where weaving from the 1-10 Westbound OfT-Ramp
to a potential left tum pocket at Rosewood Drive is identified as a ".\a;OIlS 5,~fe~1' problem", it should
be remembered that the 1-10 Westbound Off. Ramp at Tippecanoe Avenue is signalized, so as traffic
exits the off-ramp (turning right), it is IJlotected by the signal control and does not need to contlict
with traffic as it makes this movement

300 NORTH "0" STREET
SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92418-0001
RE: ~1EDlAN ISLAND CONSTRUCTION fN TIPPECANOE AVENUE FROM
THE 1-10 FREEWAY TO HOSPITALITY LANE
Dear Roger:
In-N-Out Burger O"'l1S and operates a double drive-thru restaurant at the northwest comer
of Tippecanoe A venue and Rosewood Drive. The address is 1944 South Tippecanoe
Avenue. This restaurant was constructed in February of 1984 and has been an important
fixture in the City business community for the last twelve years.
Weare in strong opposition to the construction of a proposed raised median in
Tippecanoe A venue in front of Rosewood Drive and our store. About half of our
customers utilize Rosewood Drive to enter and leave our store. Most of our customers
come from the freeway ramp system at Tippecanoe or they are citizens who live and work
south of the freeway. Our driveway off Tippecanoe Avenue is not the desired access
point for our site because there is a conflict between the vehicles who want to utilize the
driveway for access to and from the site, and the vehicles who want to enter the drive-thru
lane to place their order since the drive-thrulane entrance is within 15 feet of the
driveway approach at the street.
Construction of the proposed raised median through the Rosewood Drive intersection and
our store's access driveway would force our customers coming from the south to make a
U-turn at Laurelwood Drive. Currently this intersection is not signalized; the proposed
single, left turn pocket at this intersection provides a storage for only three cars. We feel
that this pocket is too short and would force toO many vehicles to make a U-turn thereb}
reducing the operating capacity of this intersection.
Providing a proposed raised median through the Rosewood Drive intersection and
stopping it south of our existing driveway of I Tippecanoe Avenue as ~roposed by
Michael Glubbs, Senior Civil Engineer for the City, in his October 91 letter to us, is also
unacceptable. The existing problem as outlined above, with the vehicle conflicts of those
who want to use Ihis driveway as those vehicles who want to enter the drive-thru lane will
only worsen to such an extent that our operation will sufter, and the likelihood of
accidents will increase signiticantly. It is very likely that vehicles will end up backing
out onto Tippecanoe Avenue. In addition, there is no room for vehicles traveling
northbound to transition and wait to turn left into our driveway without blocking the
northbound through lanes. Also, the potential addition of the raised median up to
Laurelwood Drive still remains \\ith the City as traftie increases in the future. Therefore
this second oplion is only a temporary one at best.
The Customer Is Everything To Us
142 PI02
OCT 16 '96 17:105
W~ would propose that nothing be done at this intersection at this time. We recognize
and hope that the redevelopment of the former Norton Air Force Base v.-ill occur at some
time in the future. However, until a specific project has been approved, with financing
and tenants in place, of sufficient size and scope to warrant these improvements, we do
not want them to be constructed now. Who knows, it may be 10 or 20 years from now
until the proposed development is built and the traffic volume has increased enough to
warrant some mitigation at this location.
When the traffic volume has increased enough to warrant some mitigation in front of our
store and Rosewood Drive, we would recommend that a new traffic signal be installed at
this intersection which would allow full turning movements. We recognize the fact that
this signal would be within 250 feet of the existing signalized west bound freeway on and
off-ramp system. However, we feel that this new signalized intersection at Rosewood
Drive could be tied into and coordinated efficiently v.-ith the CalTrans westbound freeway
ramp signal. The signalized intersections of Tippecanoe Avenue with Redlands Drive
and v.-ith the eastbound freeway on and off ramp system work efficiently now in a similar
situation. These last two mentioned intersections are located approximately 300 feet
apart at approximately 950 feet and 650 feet south of Rosewood Drive respectively.
Even though it may not be an ideal setup, all four intersections could operate efficiently
together so long as they were properly coordinated with CalTrans and each other.
We have talked with the other current property owners at the intersection of Tippecanoe
Avenue and Rosewood Drive and they were not aware of the City proposed raised
median. They expressed their surprise and also echoed our strong opposition to the
proposed raised median across Tippecanoe at Rosewood. The other property ov.-ners are
as follows: Arco- Thrifty Oil for their gas station at the northeast corner; Shell Oil for
their gas station at the southeast coner; and Rancon Realty in Temcula for their vacant
property at the southwest corner.
In summary, we are obviously in favor of providing a safe route for our customers and we
feel that based on current traffic conditions one exists now. Once traffic levels have
reached a threshold where mitigation is required, or at least the construction ofthe
proposed developments which would create this increase in traffic are imminent, a new
tratTle signal at the intersection of Rosewood Drive should be installed along with the
proposed raised median both north mId south of this intersection.
Thank you for this opportunity to address this issue which is so important to our
restaurant. Please keep us infomled as to any upcoming meetings or change in plans so
that we can continue to voice our opinion.
Sincerely,
LV-IV-OUT BURGER

Dear Mr Villanueva
This letter contains a traffic engineering evaluarion of the proposed raised median project on
Tippecanoe Avenue from the 1-10 Westbound Ramps to nOl1h of Rosewood Drive These analyses
.
.
are based upon review of the proposed plans, counts pro"ided by City of San Bernardino Staff,
additional counts initiated hy WPA Traffic Engineering, Inc. (WPAJ, a field visit to the study area,
and standard reference materials.
BACKGROUND
We were provided copies of two lellers from the City of San Bernardino to In-N-Oul Burger dated
August 27,1996 and October 9,1996 The earlier letter references plans to install a raised median
on Tippecanoe Avenue from the 1-10 Westbound Ramps to Laurelwood Drive. The more recent
(10/9/96) letter describes a new proposal to shonen the median installation to a point about SO feet
south of the In-N-Oul Bllrger (Tippecanoe Avenue) driveway It is also noted that in the future, as
traffic on Tippecanoe Avenue increases, it may be necessary to extend the median, which would
preclude left turns at the InN-OIII Burger driveway.

In order to address some of the peninent traffic issues related to the proposed raised median project
and potential traffic impacts, various materials were reviewed, including the proposed plans, the In-N-
Oul Burger site plan, the field conditions of Tippecanoe Avenue / the surrounding area, and new
traffic counts (conducted 10/15/96) It should be noted that the time frame to prepare these
comments was very limited; therefore, it should l1Q1 be assumed that the comments in this letter are
"all inclusive""
Figure] summarizes traffic COunts taken on October 15, 1996 at the Tippecanoe Avenue / Rosewood
Drive intersection and the In-N-OuI Burger accesses These peak hour volumes exhibit exjsting
conditions for the Midday and PM peak hours. It can be noted that the full Mjdday and PM peak
periods (1130 AM - 130 PM and 400 PM - 600 PM), respectively, were referenced and the
appropriate peak hours utilized relative to potential impacts to the In-N-Oul Burger restaurant.
The following is a list of comments and concerns related to the proposed raised median project
.
,
,
· A significant number of nonhbound len turns are occurring at Tippecanoe I Rosewood, which
includes some In-N-Oul Burger traffic. There are potentially significant impacts that could
result from the median proposal
· The October 9, 1996 letter from the City indicates shortening the median project (possibly
only temporarily) to a point about 50 feet south of the In-N-Oul Burger driveway This is not
expected to be sufficient in length to adequately serve the inbound left turns (includes existing
traffic plus rerouted traffic due to the median) to the In-N-Out Burger driveway.
· Under the pIOposed plans, the focus of inbound In-N-Oul Burger traffic would bt; at the
Tippecanoe Avenue access This could result in impacts to this driveway, which may involve
vehicle queuing back to Tippecanoe Avenue.

. There is mention of"U" turns at Laurelwood Drive to serve as an alternative to the ingress
that is being eliminated
o Will this location be signalized to allow lefl tum phasing protection for the "U" turns?
o How ",ill the elimination of the eastbound leO turns (at Tippecanoe / Rosewood) be
miti8Rted~ This movement is important to bl-N-Out Burger customers which are
oriented to the north and an alceptable alternate route is not apparent.
. City daily count informal;on shows R,870 "chides per day (VPD) on Harriman - Rosewood,
east ofHospitaJity l.anc TIlis indicates a relatively high utilil.ation of Harriman - Rosewood
on a daily basis, which makes access reduction at Tippecanoe Avenue less desirable This
also indicates that thele may be significant impacts at other locations as traffic is rerouted
. The opportunity for In-lV.Oul Burger traffic to make the northbound left at Tippecanoe /
.
Rosewood is very desirable from a traffic viewpoint: since these vehicles enter the "drive
.
through" queue intemal to the site, which serves to mitigate potential impacts to the In-N-Out
Burger, Tippecanoe Avenue driveway,
. It is indicated that three (1) traffic lanes in each direction on Tippecanoe Avenue are needed
to accommodate the redevelopment of the fonner Norton Air Force Base, It appears that the
raised median is a part of the overall redevelopment plan, The potential impacts of the
redevelopment plan and/or reduced access opportunities (proposed median) should be
thoroughly / clearly identified and mitigated

A I.TERNATlVE IMPROVEMENT
An alternative improvement to the proposed raised median (across Rosewood Drive) would be the
installation of a traffic signal at the Tippecanoe I Rosewood intersection Some of the pertinent
considerations are listed below
. This alternative would maintain full turn movements at this intersection, which would be
important to the adjacent businesses (including bl-N-Ou/ Burger) In addition. some existing
len turn movements (from Rosewood Drive) and pedestrian crossings would be improved
with the signali7..8tion
. This traffic signal could be coordinated with the 1-10 Westbound Ramp signal to minimize
potential impacts related to traffic signal locations in close proximity
. The traffic volumes are at a level which would satisfy Cal/rallS traffic signal warrants. The
daily and peak hour signal wan ant sheets are attached to this letter
.
.
,
. This would serve to mitigate the potential impacts of the Nor/on Air Force Base
redevelopment and maintain the access needs of the existing In-N-Ou/ Burger site. The signal
at Tippecanoe I Rosewood would also serve to mitigate potential impacts at the In-N-Ouf
Burger driveway at Tippecanoe Avenue
SUMMARY
There are potentially significant traffic impacts that are associated with the proposed installation of
the raised median These were confirmed through ~ period traffic counts that were conducted and
evaluation of the rerouting of existing traffic. It appears that the potential impacts of the median
project and the Nor/on Air Force Base redevelopment can be mitigated through the installation of
a traffic signal at the Tippecanoe I Rosewood intersection.

level of Service Concept
The buis (or interseo;;tion analysis and level of S(rviu delenninllions is the OpctluonaJ A.nllym
for si,nllized interseo;;tions conwned in the 198~ HJghway Capacfry Manual, Spttial Repon 209,
by the Tranlp()rution Re.surch Board. This method involves th~ wCIl14tion of Ivetl2c vehicle
SlOpped delay, whieh i$ then related to a level of serviu. Although not directly related to level
of S(rvice values, the degree of ~tunllion expressal a.5 a volume to t4.p4Cily miD (vie) 11 ilso
Provided.
'Level of service" is a term which deflnes any of an lnfirute num~ of c.omblnalJOnl of mEne
operating COnditions that m~y occur on a eiven lane or roadway when II is SUbJOCled 10 various
traffic volumes. Level of service is a qu.aJilAtive rncuure of the e(fccl of a num~r o( factors.
which include speed, travel time, tramc interruptions, freeoom 10 m;lJ1euver. utery. dr1Vmg
comfort, and convenience. There are six. (6) levels of Stl'liu. ^ through r. which relale to
driving conditions from best to worsl, respectively. The characteristics of tnJflC operalJons for
these levr.ls of 5trvice are summaril.ed in Table 4, In general, Level of ServIce A represenl~
free-flow condition~ with no congestion. level of Service F. on the OthCl hand. lepresents
severe congestion with stop-and-go conditions. Many communities have adopled I~vel of
Service D a.s a critenon for aecepuble levels of service when tuture condllJOm are being
analy*. :
.
The City of SaJI &mardino h4S adopled a goal to ma.mwn Level of Setvlce C. However, puk
hour conditions may reach Level of Serviu D on congested and major roadways. level of
Service D may only be e~coeded to Level of Service E (capacity) on regionally IlgnifiC8J11
arterials where the ellhtin& peak hour level of 5trviCl; is already at E or F For the purpose of
this srudy, LOS-D was our goal, and is acceptable illll study inlClSections
The intenCl:tion C<lpacity prognm utilized in this study is SIGNAL-85, a computerized venion
of the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual prOl;edul't. endorsed by the Federal Highway
Administntion ThIs program wu SeIi;cted due 10 its Wptabthly to turning movcmenl
controlled inteT5eCtions. The Tri-Cily Centre site is situated such that most enlty and cut
ll1ovement! must turn on or off Watcrmch Avenue or Tippecanoe: Avenue As I re\Ull, mmt
acceSS intersections require phase-ovtrlaps and multi-phase operations to handle the demands.
SIGN....L-8~ Is uniquely luiled to evaluate such operations, and was one of the methods approvcc
tor U$C by the City slAIr.

RE: PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT NO. 96-01
MEDiAN ISLAND CONSTRUCTION IN TIPPECANOE A VENUE
THRIFTY OIL NO. 345
1945 TIPPECANOE A VENUE, SAN BERNARDiNO, CALIFORNIA
Dear Mr. Grubbs
Please allow this letter to serve as Thrifty Oil Co.'s unequivocal objection to the above-referenced
Public Works median project in the City of San Bernardino, California.
Thrifty Oil Co. operates an Arco service station and Sunshine Food Store at the above-referenced
address. Our preliminary estimates indicate the proposed median project will quite literally cut our
business and revenue in half; more specifically, Thrifty would suffer a loss of revenue between
$75,000.00 ami $100,000.00 per month. Without a doubt this would necessitate Thrifty Oil to
terminate and abandon our operation at this site in the City of San Bernardino.
Thrifty is supportive of the City's efforts to provide aesthetic improvements along the City's
thoroughfares. However, when said improvements jeopardize the economic well-being of the City's
businesses, then there needs to be a serious re-examination of the proposed improvements. Thrifty
would be more than happy to sit down with the City's staff to discuss various alternatives to the
proposed improvements
Please reserve a time for us to speak at the October 17, 1996 Environmental Review Committee
hearing. Furthermore, we reserve the right to provide additional testimony in both verbal and written
form.

re: Median island construction on Tippecanoe from 1-10 freeway to laurelwood Avenue
Project No. 95-01
Dear Mr. Hardgrave:
This letter is to express our concern with the proposed median island construction
project located along Tippecanoe AvenUe. Specifically, we are Concerned with the
closltre of the intersection at Tippecanoe and Rosewood.
Shell Oil Company has owned and operated a service station at the comer of
Tippecanoe and Rosewood for approximately thirty plus years. We have enjoyed doing
business at this intersection and we hope to continue our operation for many years to
come. The proposed median island will block cross-over traffic at the intersection of
Rosewood Avenue which will have a significant detrimental effect on our service station
operation. Convenient access to and from a service station operation is essential to the
success of our business. The proposed median is'and will prevent access to the station
by all south bound traffic. reducing our potential customer access by approximately
50%.
As an alternative to your proposed design, we strongly encourage the installation of a
traffic signal at the intersection of Tippecanoe and Rosewood. This traffic light would
provide the needed access to the local business. In addition, traffic flow could be easily
synchronized with th? proposed Cal Trans signal at the freeway.
In conclusion, we strongly oppose your current plan which will block the intersection of
Tippecanoe and Rosewood. As an alternative, we encourage your consideration of a
traffic signal which will preserve the businesses in the area.
Your consideration is a appreciated.

Re: In-N-Out Burger location at 1944 South Tippecanoe Avenue;
Your File No. 13.84
Dear Mr. Hardgrave:
You will recall having received a letter from me dated August 21, 1996, and meeting with
me and a representative of In-N-Out Burgers, Rich Boyd, to discuss your proposed
project which calls for an uninterrupted median at Tippecanoe and Rosewood Drive in
San Bernardino and the elimination of on street parking in the area.
It is my hope that you will recall that we not only objected to the project as proposed, but
also about the absence of appropriate notice of the Traffic Safety Commission meeting
which would have given us the opportunity to appear and oppose the project as proposed
and to support the altemative concept which would extend the median only to Rosewood
Drive, continuing to permit left turns at Rosewood.
As advised at our meeting of September 4, 1996, In-N-Out did not receive your offices'
letter of May 21, 1996, until approximately August 15, 1996, and your meeting was
conducted on or about June 12, 1996.
When we left our meeting of September 4, 1996, with you and Tony Lugo, we were given
to understand that the matter was to have been considered by the Environmental Review
Committee approximately three (3) weeks to one (1) month hence and that special efforts
would be taken to assure that Rich Boyd of In-N-Out Burger and I would receive notice
of the meeting.
Having heard nothing from your offices, we are now advised by letter dated October 1,
1996, that the meeting was, in fact, conducted on September 19, 1996, without notice to
either Rich Boyd or me and that the committee proposed that the project receive a
negative declaration.
We would like to take this occasion to again request that you personally take steps to see
that the intemal communication procedures that are denying us the opportunity to appear

In-N-Out Burger does wish to have input concerning alternative designs for this project

RE: Rehabilitation of Pavement - Tippecanoe Avenue, Route 1-10
to Mission Creek
Your letter of 8-16-96 inquired as to the concept that is being
developed for the improvement of Tippecanoe Avenue.
Enclosed, for your reference, is a print of the two (2) sheets
of the plans being developed for this project. In addition to
rehabilitating the pavement, a curbed median with landscaping
will be installed. The concept for this project does not
include an opening at Rosewood Drive, due to its proximity to
the freeway ramps. However, an opening will be provided at
Laurelwood Drive, which will allow northbound vehicles to make
a V-turn.
Three (3) traffic lanes will be provided in each direction, in
order to accommodate the projected traffic that will be
generated by the redevelopment of the former Norton Air Force
Base. On-street parking will necessarily be prohibited, in
order to accommodate the additional traffic lanes.
(We will be submitting this project for environmental review
the near future. Notices in connection with the processing
this project will be provided as required by law.
We regret that you were unable to attend the informal dis-
cussion of traffic measures at the Traffic Safety Committee
meeting. Letters were sent to all abutting businesses, and
only one person attended. This person was in agreenent with
the concept of installing a median.

Re In-N-Out Burger location at 1944 South Tippecanoe Avenue;
Your File No. 13.84
Dear Mr. Hardgrave:
On behalf of In-N-Out Burger. I would like to reqU€st a meeting with you at our earliest
possible mutual convenience to discuss the above-referenced project.
In-N-Out advises that it learned after-the- fact of a City Traffic Safety Committee meeting
concerning "rehabilitation of pavement-Tippecanoe Avenue, from 1-10 Freeway to Mission
Creek" at which action was taken that may result in an uninterrupted median on
Tippecanoe Avenue at Rosewood and a loss of parking to our In-N-Out location.
We are very much concerned about the manner in which this project was "Noticed" and
the manner in which it will affect our business at the above location. We are very much
in hopes that the matter has not reached a point where our input to the design will not
be given appropriate consideration.
Once again, we would very much appreciate a meeting with you and we will anticipate
a telephone call to arrange such a meeting in the near future.
Very truly yours,
NICH S, STEAD, BOIL;SU & KOSTOFF

A TTN: Honorable Mayor and members of the City Council
RE: Proposed Raillecl Median on Tippecanoe Avenue. North of 1-10
Dear Honorable Mayor and members of City Council:
Thia lettar is to express our continued concern with the propoead median island
construction project located at Tlppecanoe and extending north to Hospitality Lane.
Specifically. we are concemed with the closure of the Intersection of Tippecenoe and
Rosewood.
As previously communicated to your offices. the proposed median island that extends to
Hospitality lane would have a detrimental impact on our bu.ln_ as well as the other
buslne...s in the area. Thl. project does not add...s. the.e business concerns or long
term changes to the interchange which are currently under consideration by the San
Bernardino Associated Govemments (SAN BAG).
The altemative plan which provides a fifty (50) foot long raillecl curbed median between
Route 1.10 and Rosewood Drive Ie collllidered to be the most logical approach at this
time. It is my understanding that this proposed median will allow the intersection of
Tippecanoe and Rosewood to remain open providing left tum access to the surrounding
bUBineaaes.
In conclusion, we believe the alternative plan (fifty foot median between 1-10 and
Rosewood) is the most favorable and logical choice. We encourage your support of this
alternative plan.
Your consideration is appreciated.
