CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO-REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Resolution authorizing the submittal of two (2) project applications for FY 2010 Safe Routes to
School (SR2S)Program Funding.
Background:
Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program was legislated in 1999 with the enactment of AB 1475. This
program was extended indefinitely in 2007 with the passing of AB 57.
The goals of the program are to reduce injuries and fatalities to school children and to encourage
increased walking and bicycling. With the enhancement of the safety of the pathways, trails,
sidewalks, and crossing, the program intends to encourage students to walk or cycle to school. The
SR2S program will also facilitate the planning, design, and implementation of projects that will
improve pedestrian safety, the environment, and overall quality of life. This is a 90%
reimbursement program with 10% local match requirement up to $450,000 for any single
project. The estimated statewide SR2S funding for 2010 is $24.25 million.
The City is nominating two projects for the FY 2010 SR2S funding cycle. These project locations
have been selected for pedestrian safety improvement upgrades as a result of citizen and school
district requests. The City has successfully obtained a total of$571,000 from previous Safe Routes to
School Program funding cycles. The application deadline for the FY 2010 funding cycle is July 15,
2010. The SR2S projects are listed as follows:
1. Lincoln Elementary School Traffic Si¢nal_Project: A request from the school principal for a
traffic signal at 13 Street and Mt. View Avenue to upgrade an existing four-way stop
intersection. The proposed traffic signal will provide enhanced pedestrian safety at the
intersection. There is an existing traffic signal at 13s' Street and Arrowhead Avenue to the west
boundary of the school. Staff analysis indicates that the project location presently meets Caltrans'
traffic signal warrant criteria. (Ward 2) Estimated Project Cost: $250,000
2. Sidewalk Improvements along Richardson Street: The envisioned project will provide a safer
route for students walking or bicycling to Victoria Elementary School route by constructing
sidewalk and curb ramps along the west side of Richardson Street. This grant application
includes construction of curb and gutter, sidewalk, handicap ramps and driveway approaches
along the west side of Richardson Street between Coniston Street and the BNSF railroad tracks.
(Ward 3) Estimated Project Cost: $425,000
Financial Impact
It is anticipated that with 10% match, the projects will cost approximately $67,500. If selected, the
local match will be funded with Local Circulation Fee, Measure I, Gas Tax, or Prop 42 funds.
Recommendation:
Adopt resolution.
