CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Numerous concerns have been expressed relative to the
traffic problems on Victoria Avenue, due to the large volume of
vehicles that travel to and from the Indian Bingo and Casino
complex.
These concerns have been reviewed by the City ' s Traffic
Safety Committee. The committee concurred with Traffic Engi-
neering staff' s recommendation that traffic signals be installed
at Citrus Street to alleviate this situation.
A request was submitted to the - San Manuel Tribe of
Mission Indians to consider financing the cost of these traffic
signals, since the majority of traffic on Victoria Avenue is
generated by the gaming facilities on the reservation. The
Tribal Chairman appeared to be receptive to this request, but a
commitment to finance the cost has not been received at this
time.
In view of the concern of residents in the neighborhood,
relative to traffic, we recommend that the expenditure of $5 ,000
from the Indian Bingo Fund be approved, to allow prepration of
the necessary plans and special provisions to be commenced before
a commitment is received from the Indian Tribe.
