2. Project Description (maximum of I page), (20 points)

B. Briefly describe the project area (e.g. urbanlruraVsuburban setting, geographic characteristics, location,

The University Neighborhood Transportation Improvement Study proposes to evaluate the
transportation network in the University area of the City of San Bernardino. The study area includes
the California State University at San Bernardino as well as the surrounding residential
neighborhoods and the commercial and industrial development along the 1-125.
A key component of the study will be the evaluation of the proposed Campus Parkway Interchange at
1-215. The City's current Circulation Plan includes the extension of Campus Parkway from Kendall
Orive to Industrial Parkway with a new interchange at the 1-215. The interchange project is also
included in the Regional Transportation Plan. The extension along with the new interchange would
provide a second, more direct access to the University from the 1-215, while accommodating
anticipated growth in area travel demand.
The City desires to develop a Project Study Report for the interchange project and intends to partner
with the University on a public outreach program. The public outreach element of the study would
solicit input relative to interchange design elements and design themes, as well as considerations
relative to the multi modal aspects of the project. The plan envisions both pedestrian and bicycle
components in addition to provisions for public transit.
The project would include: support for economic viability, increase safety of the transportation
system, include non-motorized elements for pedestrians and bicyclists, enhance the integration and
connectivity of the transportation system, promote efficient system management and operation, and
enhance the operation of the existing transportation system.

The California State University at San Bernardino is one of the fastest growing universities in
California. Founded in 1965, CSUSB currently enrolls more than 17,500 students and employs more
than 2,100 faculty and staff. While the University has been experiencing rapid growth, so has the
surrounding University Neighborhood. The adjacent residential area, which has been built since the
inception of the University, serves as home to a number of young families and provides housing for
many of the students, staff and faculty from the University. The 1-215 corridor in the area has also
seen substantial growth in commercial and industrial development. Not only have we seen
tremendous growth in the area over the past several years, but there is every indication that such
growth trends will continue. As such, the City desires to advance planning efforts to expand the
existing transportation network and systems in order to accommodate anticipated demand.
Recent environmental studies indicate that University Parkway, the current access to the University
from the 1-215, operates at a good level of service (LOS) at the freeway ramp terminals. However, the
Kendall Orive and University Parkway intersection operates at LOS 0 during the PM peak hour and
the intersection of Northpark Blvd and University Parkway operates at LOS E during the PM peak
hour. 2030 forecasts for these same intersections show PM peak hour LOS of E or F. With the
construction of the Campus Parkway extension and interchange, coupled with additional
improvements in the area, the intersections along University Parkway are projected to improve to a
PM peak hour LOS of C or O.
Purpose of the University Neighborhood Transportation Improvement Study is to evaluate community
needs and begin preliminary planning for the Campus Parkway extension and interchange. The study
will include a public outreach component to solicit community input regarding the project and to help
guide decisions relative to design elements and themes, as well as multi modal aspects of the
project.

4. Public Participation (maximum of 2 pages), (20 points)
A. IdentifY the project stakeholders (i.e. low-income and minority communities, Native American Tribal
governments, other underrepresented groups, community-based organizations, and businesses affected
by the project. (10 points).
B. Describe the outreach methods that will be used to reach the public and the project stakeholders with an
em hasis on en a in traditionall under-re resented communities. 10 oints.
The major stakeholder in the study area is the California State University-San Bernardino (CSUSB).
CSUSB currently enrolls more than 17,500 students and employs more than 2,100 faculty and staff. It
is currently envisioned that the public outreach forums would take place on the CSUSB campus and
be publicized and promoted on campus as well as with the surrounding neighborhood. There is no
preponderance of low-income or minority families within the study area, however, the neighborhood
exhibits a mix of various racial and ethnic groups, as does the student enrollment and the faculty.
Community outreach efforts will focus on the student population which is transient in nature and
traditionally under-represented in such infrastructure planning efforts. Outreach efforts will
concentrate on the surrounding residential neighborhood, as well as the commercial and industrial
land uses and owners along the 1-215 corridor. A concerted effort will be made to solicit input from
those property owners and residents immediately adjacent to or in close proximity to the planned
Campus Parkway extension and interchange.

The project will build upon existing data to evaluate transportation system needs in the study area.
The project will identify area stakeholders and enlist their aide in defining local objectives relative to
transportation improvements for the area. The project will solicit public input with the help of local
stakeholder groups regarding currently planned transportation infrastructure improvements and seek
public involvement with respect to interchange design elements and design themes.
The project deliverables will include the following:
1) A study report cataloging available resources, detailing the study methodology, identifying
stakeholder groups, and summarizing the study findings.
2) A Project Study Report for the Campus Parkway Extension and Interchange.
These products will be used to carry the project on to the next phases: Project Report and

RE: City of San Bernardino CBTP Grant Application

Dcar Robert:
CSUSB is pleased to support the City of San Bernardino in their efforts to obtain Community Based Transportation
Planning (CBTP) funds for their University Neighborhood Transportation Improvement Study. It is our
understanding that the study wiH evaluate transportation needs in the area surrounding CSUSB with particular
emphasis on the development of preliminary planning studies for the Campus Parkway extension and proposed
interchange all-215. CSUSB supports this planned improvement to local infrastructure and we look forward to
working with the City in seeing this improvement become a reality.
It has been suggested the CSUSB facilities may be uscd to hold proposed public outreach components of the study.
While details will need to be worked, should the application be successful, we are confident that arrangements can
he made to accommodate public outreach activities on the campus.
We have a long history of working in cooperation with the City on issues of mutual interest such as this
transportation study and urge Caltrans approval of your grant application for this effort. Please feel free to contact
me at (909) 537-5136 if you should have any questions.
