CITY OF SAN BERNAP"INO - REQUEST For COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT Page 1 of 2
The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA)
submitted a letter, dated 2-16-93 , to the City of Rialto with a
list of four (4) grade crossings that could potentially be
closed. These crossings were Lilac Avenue, Sycamore Avenue,
Acacia Avenue and Eucalyptus Avenue. SCRRA apparently did not
realize that the east half of Crossing No. 2-84 . 2 on Eucalyptus
Avenue is within the Cite of San Bernardino.
A passing siding will be built by SCRRA within the City
of Rialto, as required by their agreement with Santa Fe. In view
of the multiple crossings , at 1/4 mile spacing, SCRRA feels that
public safety will best be served by the permanent closure to
vehicular traffic of some of these crossings and upgrading the
safety warning devices at the ones that remain open.
Eucalyptus Avenue is designated as a collector on the
Circulation Element of our General Plan. The Current traffic
volume is 5 , 100 vehicles per day, due in part to the new Rialto
Senior High on the southeast corner of Mill Street and Eucaly7ptus
Avenue . Closure of the Eucalyptus Avenue crossing would probably
result in 1/2 of the traffic diverting to Pepper Avenue, which
would increase the traffic volume on this street from 15 , 000 to
17 , 500 vehicles per day.
Closure could be accomplished by vacating the street
right--of-way, within the railway right-of-way, under the 1941
Street Vacation Act. However, this method is not recommended due
to the difficulty in obtaining an easement in the future to re-
open the street, in the event that this action ever became
necessary.
Another option could be to close the street under
authority_ of Section 21101 of the California Vehicle Code. This
section allows local authorities to adopt an ordinance closing
any street that, in their opinion, is no longer needed for
vehicular traffic .
The City of Rialto conducted a "workshop, " on 7-21-93 , to
receive input from the public . We understand that the general
reaction of those in attendance was very much in opposition to
the possible closures of these grade crossings .
Since Eucalyptus Avenue is designated as a collector, an
amendment to the General Plan would probably be required, in the
event it is to be closed.
We recommend that a neighborhood meeting be scheduled at
6 : 00 p.m. , Thursday, 8-12-93 , in order to discuss the possible
closure of Eucalyptus Avenue grade crossing with residents of the
area. This discussion will help the City to develop a position
on the possible closure. A sign will be installed at the
crossing to advise motorists of the neighborhood meeting.
