STAFF REPORT
Traffic on Tippecanoe Avenue, from Red1ands Boulevard to
Laure1wood Drive, is often subject to delays and congestion.
This situation is due to the left turn storage lanes being too
short and the lack of progression between the traffic signals for
the freeway ramps and Red1ands Boulevard.
It is proposed to widen Tippecanoe Avenue under the
freeway overpass, by about 6 feet on each side. This widening
will allow two left turn lanes to be provided, which will double
the storage for vehicles turning left on to the freeway ramps.
The existing traffic signals on Tippecanoe Avenue, at
Hospi tali ty Lane, Hardt Street, Victoria Avenue, Cooley Avenue
and San Bernardino are presently interconnected. It is also
proposed to interconnect the traffic signals at the freeway ramps
and Red1ands Boulevard with these five signals, in order to
provide progressive movement along this entire section of
Tippecanoe Avenue.
The north right-of-way line for the Route 1-10 Freeway is
the common City limits for Loma Linda and San Bernardino. There-
fore, those improvements will necessarily be done as a
cooperative project with the City of Loma Linda, with each city
paying their fair share. We anticipate that each City will
finance 1/2 of the cost of the project.
Ca1trans has indicated that they

Installation of traffic signals at South "E" Street and
Fairway Drive is included in the contract for widening the bridge
over the Santa Ana River. Therefore, the $100,000 allocated for
these traffic signals is available for other projects.
We recommend that the transfer of $100,000, to finance the
City's share of the cost for widening and interconnecting traffic
signals on Tippecanoe Avenue be approved.
