CITY OF SAN BERNAMI)INO - REQUEST FUA COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT Page 1 of 2
Community Hospital of San Bernardino is constructing a
medical office building on the west side of Medical Center Drive,
south of 19th Street. A pedestrian bridge is proposed to be
constructed over Medical Center Drive, in order to provide con-
venient and safe access between this new facility and the
hospital complex on the east side of Medical Center Drive.
The bridge will be a metal truss type structure, that
will be supported by two piers on each end. These piers are not
within the street right-of-way.
Caltrans Design Manual states that a minimum clearance
of 15 ' - 6" should be provided for vehicular overpasses, and
17 ' - 6" for pedestrian structures. The proposed pedestrian
bridge was originally designed with 17 ' of clearance, but this
dimension was reduced to 15 ' - 2" in order to allow the approaches
to meet standards for handicap access. Signs will be posted to
advise motorists that the maximum height of a vehicle that can
pass under the bridge is 15 ' .
Chain link fencing is normally installed along the sides
of a bridge over a roadway, to prevent objects from being dropped
on to vehicles . Fencing will not be provided on this structure,
since access to both ends of the bridge will be through the
building served by this structure.
Permit No. 96581 was issued by the Department of Planning
and Building Services, on 3-24-94 , for the medical office
building. The pedestrian bridge was included in the plans for
this building and, therefore, covered by this permit.
The bridge will be delivered the week of 10-16-95 , in two
sections. These sections will need to be bolted together, and
lifted on to the piers. The contractor states that it will be
necessary to close Medical Center Drive for one day during this
operation. A detour plan will be submitted to the City' s Traffic
Engineer for review and approval.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction for
two additional days, in order to allow the concrete deck to be
placed without causing damage to vehicles traveling on Medical
Center Drive. The contractor will also submit a traffic plan for
these days .
A request has been received from Mr. David Gilner,
Director of Engineering Services, dated 10-5-95 , requesting auth-
orization for this pedestrian bridge to encroach into the public
street right of way for Medical Center Drive. Authorization for
a private facility to encroach into a street right of way is
granted by execution of a standard form License Agreement. A
copy of this letter is attached for reference.

and the City Attorney directed to prepare the necessary License
Agreement.

street right of way is needed at the meeting of 10-16-95 , since

San Bernardino, Ca.
Dear Mr. Hardgrave,
Community Hospital of San Bernardino is building a three story Medical Office
Building across Medical Center Drive from the main Hospital. A pedestrian
bridge will connect the two buildings.
Although we have stamped plans from Building and Safety, it appears that we
failed to file plans with Engineering and get City Council approval to encroach
on city dghtaway.
Please accept this letter as a formal request to get on the agenda of the City
Council meeting of October 16,1995.
Thank you for your help.
