CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Resolution ratifying the submittal of a project application for the Federal Safe Routes to School
(SRTS) Program (Cycle 2) Funding.
Background:
Building on the success of California's Safe Routes to School Program, Congress has authorized
a Federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program under SAFETEA-LU (the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users) to achieve the same purpose
nationwide. The program proposes to enable and encourage children in kindergarten through
eighth grade (K-8) to make walking and bicycling to school a more appealing and healthy
choice. The SRTS 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 100% "reimbursement" program with no local match requirement. The estimated
statewide SRTS funding for 2007 is $14.8 million.
At their meeting of July 15, 2008, the Grants Ad Hoc Committee recommended submittal of this
grant application. The attached memorandum provides additional details about the project.
Financial Impact
No financial impact is anticipated, because there is no local match-funding requirement.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Grants Ad Hoc Committee
FROM: Robert Eisenbeisz, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Federal Safe Routes To School Program Project Application
DATE: July 11, 2008
CC: Valerie Ross, Director of Development Services
BACKGROUND:
Building on California's Safe Routes to School Program (SR2S), Congress has authorized a new
five-year federal funding program for the same purpose nationwide. The federal program (SRTS)
proposes to enable and encourage children in kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8) to make
walking and bicycling to school a more appealing healthy choice. The SRTS program will also
facilitate the planning, design, and implementation of projects that will improve pedestrian
safety, the environment, and overall quality of life. Project applications are due by July 18,
2008. Eligible projects include traffic signals (modifications), crosswalks, sidewalks, bike lanes,
trails and traffic calming measures in neighborhoods around schools.
Last year, staff was approached by Ms. Evelyn Trevino with the San Bernardino County
Department of Public Health to discuss an opportunity to build on their "non-infrastructure"
SRTS grant. The County's grant funded a program called "Healthy Communities" emphasizing
education aspects of safe routes to school and encouraging walking and biking to and from
school. Recently, the SRTS grant guidelines have emphasized the need for applications to
include education and encouragement components in addition to engineering and enforcement.
The County is interested in partnering with the City to build on their Healthy Communities
program and they have requested that the City apply for an infrastructure grant through the
federal SRTS program to fund various traffic calming measures and other infrastructure
improvements that will encourage walking and biking to and from school. Ryan Snyder of RSA
is a consultant working for the County in providing assistance with their grant application and
implementation. He assisted the County program with education and outreach by facilitating
several workshops and field walks to identify infrastructure improvements that would enhance
non-motorized travel to and from Rio Vista Elementary School and Martin Luther King
Middle School.
The federal STRTS program is a 100% "reimbursement" program with no local match
required. At the County's request and with concurrence from City staff, Mr. Snyder prepared a
preliminary draft of the City's grant application. He is a certified National Safe Routes to School
Instructor. as well as an instructor for the national Federal Highway Administration Pedestrian
Safety Design course. Staff feels that with Mr. Snyder's assistance and by partnering with the
County, the grant application will have an excellent chance of being selected. The County's
program will provide the education and encouragement components that are needed to be
successful
Traffic Engineering staff met with project stakeholders. including Evelyn Trevino of Healthy
Communities (San Bernardino County Department of Public Health), Ryan Snyder, and
Reverend Bronica Martindale from a local church in the project area, to discuss the grant
application. Since the project is large in scope with significant costs. the federal grant program
was determined to be more appropriate than the state program because of the local match
requirements associated with the latter.
Staff has modified the application that was prepared by Mr. Snyder to include additional
elements of project delivery and the associated costs to avoid unfunded costs to the City. These
additional elements include design engineering, NEPA environmental clearance, project
management, and construction management (inspection). Unfortunately, these additional costs
may result in the application being less competitive, but without a funding source, staff feels that
leaving them out could inhibit the ability to deliver the project. Staff further feels that a
consultant will likely be needed for some or all of these additional elements because of the lack
of staff availability.
PREVIOUS GRANT PROJECTS:
The City has had past success in receiving grants through the State program. Previous SR2S
grants include:
• Mt. Vernon School Pedestrian Signals (Ward 1)
Project Cost: $128,000. STATUS: Work completed.
• San Bernardino High School Traffic Signal (Ward 2)
Project Cost: $108,000. STATUS: Work completed.
• Missing Link Sidewalks @ Roosevelt Elementary School (Ward 6), Arrowhead Elementary
School (Ward 4), Burbank Elementary School (Wards 1/3), and North Verdemont
Elementary School (Ward 5)
Project Cost: $225,000. STATUS: Work Completed.
• Wilson Elementary School Sidewalks (Ward 7)
Estimated Project Cost: $110,000. STATUS: Contract has been awarded and construction is
anticipated to begin in August 2008.
GRANT APPLICATION REQUEST:
Rio Vista Elementar ,[Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School Pedestrian Safety Project
Ward 6 : This application was a joint effort by the San Bernardino City Unified School District
(SBCUSD); San Bernardino County Department of Public Health; and their consultant, Ryan
Snyder of RSA, who assisted with community outreach, project development and preparation of
the preliminary grant application. Safe Moves, a community stakeholder organization. also
contributed to the project development and community outreach.
The project includes eleven (11) traffic calming improvements located along designated school
commute routes that students frequent on weekdays before and after school hours. Proposed
improvements include *'bulb-outs," curb ramps, enhanced markings, raised school crosswalks,
and countdown pedestrian traffic signals (see the project list and sketches attached to the
application for additional details). The project area includes the area bounded by California
Street, Base Line, Medical Center Drive, and Magnolia Street.
PROJECT SCOPE DISCUSSION:
If funded, the project will require a General Plan Amendment (GPA) in order to change the
functional classification of Medical Center Drive from a 4-lane, secondary arterial to a 2-lane
local collector. The project will also require an environmental analysis that meets both CEQA
and NEPA requirements. Caltrans Local Assistance will review the NEPA analysis on behalf of
the Federal Highway Administration and Caltrans staff will determine what level of NEPA
document is required, based upon the project scope and magnitude of potential impacts. Staff
believes that the project will likely require an EIR to satisfy CEQA because of the GPA. It is
anticipated that consultants will be used on this project because of a lack of available staff. Costs
for these elements have been included in the grant application.
Mr. Snyder's preliminary application indicated a total cost of approximately $484,057, with a
construction cost of$416,500. Staff refined the construction cost estimate to reflect current unit
costs, based upon the quantities involved and recent bids. This resulted in a revised construction
cost of $622,500. Staff also included the additional costs that will be needed for the
environmental clearance, engineering, project management, and construction management
bringing the total project cost to $903,300. These cost changes were necessary in order to avoid
unidentified costs that the City would be responsible for without an available source of funding.
Excluding these costs would enhance the project's chances for selection, but it also would result
in costs to the City without an identified source of funding, thereby jeopardizing the feasibility of
actually delivering the project.
Staff also adjusted the project schedule to account for the NEPA document preparation and
environmental clearance, which is expected to take 9 to 12 months. The grant application now
reflects a realistic delivery schedule and it includes all anticipated costs. If selected, the project
will be 100 percent federally funded with no required local match or other out-of-pocket
expenses to the City.

Brief description of project:
This project consists of various infrastructure improvements along important walking and bicycling routes leadins;
to two public schools in San Bernardino: Rio Vista Elementary School. and Martin Luther King Jr. Middle
School. These schools were chosen because of their close proximity to one another and because they are bounded
by high volume, high speed roadways that make the area particularly difficult for pedestrians and bicyclists. (See
attached Project List for details.)
Brief description of targeted location; i.e., urban/rural/suburban setting, geographic characteristics, etc.:
San Bernardino is located in the heart of the Inland Empire area of Southern California. The schools included in
this project are located in a suburban setting near busy, multi-lane streets. The 2000 census recording 185,401
residents in the city of San Bernardino. Of those. 47.5%are Latino, 28.9% White Non-Hispanic, 16.4% Black,
and 3.1% Asian. These schools serve a primarily Hispanic and Black community of approximately 2,100
students. The estimated 2005 median household income in San Bernardino was $33.915,compared to the
California average of 553,629.
Identify the names of school(s) in the target area, the total student enrollment in each of the schools, and
approximate number of children who currently walk bicycle to school:

3.The Citv is installing a traffic signal at the intersection of Medical Center Drive and Nlatmolia Avenue.
4 This project is consistent with our city-wide efforts to calm traffic in order to make our streets more
liveable.
5.The Citv's General Plan calls for providing a ranee of transportation alternatives, including bicycle and
pedestrian ways. The Circulation Element of the General Plan says that the street system should be made safe
for pedestrians and bicyclists It also calls for slowing traffic to enhance safety. These are all consistent with
this project The City will process a General Plan Amendement as part of the "road diet" on Medical Center
Drive. changing its functional classification from a secondary arterial to a local collector.
6 The project is also consistent with the California Strategic Highway Safetv Plan(SHSP). The SHSP lists a
strateg- to o improve pedestrian safety as improving safety around schools Another strategv listed is to
improve bicycle safety is to utilize engineering education encouragement and enforcement programs.

(10 pts.)
1.Attendees at the Safe Routes to School workshops cited SPEEDING as perhaps the most important safety
issue near these two schools. This speeding occurs on nearby streets, as well as with turning vehicles. The
streets are wide and encourage speeding. Medical Center Drive in front of Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle
School has 4 lanes and is wide. Attendees also noted that DOUBLE PARKING and U-TURNS are problems
in front at pick-up/drop off at Martin Luther King. Jr. Middle School. Parents dropping children off make
unsafe maneuvers and children run between parked cars. Some FAIL TO STOP AT STOP SIGNS. They
also noted that nearby traffic signals allow INSUFFICIENT TIME TO CROSS as well as FEAR OF CRIME.
2.1'resently, cyclists have NO DESIGNATED BIKEWAYS to ride on.
3.SPEED SURVEYS support what attendees say about fast moving cars. The City speed surveys show that
the 85"'percentile speed on both Medical Center Drive and California Street are 40 mph.
4.01,11'CRASH DATA show's that 6 Dedestrian-involved crashes and 2 bievele-involved crashes that resulted
in injUrV occurred in a three-year period in the area around the two schools.
51ast December. a school-age girl was struck n,hile crossing Medical Center.Drive at Magnolia Avenue after
school. She was seriously injured. (See attached news article)
6 Recent TR AFFIC COUNTS indicate that 19,377 vehicles travel alor;g California Street near Rio Vista
Elementary School per day. and that 16.230 vehicles travel along Medical Center Drive near Martin Luther
Dint;Jr. Noddle School per day. These volumes are signiiticant for streets that children have to cross,
especially with 40 mph prevailing speeds.

• Describe the range ofalicrmiii%vs considered. (5 pis.)
This proiect will address SPEEDING with BULB-OUTS. RAISED CROSSWALKS, CENTER
PEDESTRIAN SIGNS, SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS. SPEED FEEDBACK SIGNS and BETTER
MARKED CROSSWALKS. The ne\,, SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LUMIT SIGNS IA-111 lower the posted speed
limit from-40 mph to 25 mph. The ROAD DIET (RESTRIPED STREET) will slow cars down because
Medical Center Drive will no longer have a two lanes in each direction to allow passing. It will reduce
DOUBLE PARKING and U-TURNS in front of the schools. * Eliminating double parking will reduce the
number-ofchildren running between parked cars. BULB-OUTS will reduce the number of motorists who
FAIL TO STOP AT STOP SIGNS since thev will be channeled into the travel lane. ADVANCED STOP
BARS will also reduce the number of motorists that fall to stop. This project will deal with the issue of
rNSUFFICIENT TIMIL TO CROSS with BULB-OUTS that will reduce the distance and time it takes to
cross. COUNITDMVN PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS will also be used to address this concern.. In parallel with
this proiect, the Citv Engineer will ADJUST THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIMING where needed. The BIKE
LANE on Medical Center Drive will provide a place for cvcl,istsAo..ride. and will add visibility to cyclists.
Overall, this proiect will make pedestrians and bicyclists in these two school zones much more visible and
will raise the awareness of motorists in the area through pedestrian and bike friendly design.
7. Describe how this project will increase walking and bicycling to school. (maximum: 15 pts.)
• What barriers will be removed to allow for increased walking and bicycling? (10 pts.)
C�
Describe how increased walking and bicycling among students will be sustained. (5 pts.)
This proiect will improve pedestrian safety by eliminating or reducing many of the concerns as described
above. In doing so. it will also enhance the perception of traffic safety. The improvements listed in this
proiect will make for a much more comfortable and pleasant walking experience. Since students and parent
will feel safer, they will be able to relax and enjoy the walk to school more and this will encourage more
parents to either allow their children to walk, or walk with them to school.
The addition of bike lanes on Medical Center Drive_wil.will significant, because this is the main throughfare
near the the middle school. Since it Is a busy, multi-lane street with fast moving traffic, the bike lanes will
significantly add to the safety and comfort of bicyclists. Since one of the primaEy goals of this project is to
slow traffic.. it will result in improved safety for bicyclists and make cycling more appealing. The new bike
racks will provide a good place to park and will encourage cvdiM
Along with the engineering improvements in this application, the schools will have active encouragement
programs. Part of this will be to bring the Walking School Buses that have been popular at other San
Bernardino Schools. This will help to alleviate the fear of crime and attract more to walking,
