Subject: Omnitrans Article 3 Transit Stop Access Program – 2016 Awards
Dear Cameron,
In my letter dated November 26, 2018, I mentioned that the $10,001 awarded in 2016 for Barton at
Terracina westbound in the City of Redlands would no longer be used because the City was already
completing improvements at that location with other funds. In coordination with the City of
Redlands, I am now writing to request that SBCTA permit Omnitrans to use the $10,001 allocated
for Barton at Terracina for improvements at other locations in the City of Redlands instead. Per the
attached cost estimate provided by the City, we expect to be able to use the $10,001 to make
improvements at five other bus stop locations in the City of Redlands, which makes for a more cost-
effective use of funds that were originally intended to be spent at only one location. Barton at
Terracina westbound has 18 average daily passengers. The five new locations (Citrus at Dearborn
westbound, Citrus at Dearborn eastbound, Lugonia at University westbound, Lugonia at Grove
westbound, and Alabama at Storage Drive southbound) have a total of 26 average daily passengers.
Also, in your letter dated November 28, 2018, you had approved a time extension until December
31, 2019 to complete all bus stop improvements funded by 2016 Article 3 funds. The projects are
still in the plan review and permitting process with some of the respective jurisdictions. Omnitrans
expects to put these projects out to bid for construction in late summer 2019, award the
construction contract in early 2020, and complete construction in spring 2020. Therefore I would
also like to request an extension to expend the 2016 Article 3 awards until June 30, 2020.
I look forward to hearing whether our two-part request has been approved. Please feel free to
contact me at anna.jaiswal@omnitrans.org or (909) 379-7256 if you need any additional
information.
Sincerely,
Anna Jaiswal
