The City of Fontana requests $250,000 to close sidewalk gaps and install Class III bike routes to make active transportation feasible, safer and convenient for school children and residents. The proposed project will provide sidewalk gap closures at four street segments. Safety improvements include installing new sidewalks (where none currently exist), constructing new curbs, gutters, and ADA-compliant ramps, installing streetlights, and signage and crosswalk striping, as needed on Alder Avenue, Laurel Avenue, and Miller Avenue. The Project will also include Class III bike path signage along Alder Avenue and Miller Avenue (See Attachment A: Project Location Map for details). The proposed project location was identified as being needed during the SBCTA SRTS audit held on May 9, 2016, and is located in a densely-populated area where there are major sidewalk gaps. Currently, students and residents are forced to share the roadway with vehicles travelling at 35-50 miles per hour, putting them in harm’s way of serious injuries. A more detailed scope of work for each segment follows: 2 • Segment 1. Alder Avenue 285 Linear Feet (between Mesa Road and Shamrock Avenue) o Install sidewalks; o Construct curb and gutter; o Construct ADA-accessible curb ramps; o Construct ADA-compliant driveways; o Install Class III bicycle lane signage and pavement legends (listed as a proposed improvement on page 5-64 of the NMTP - Alder Avenue between Baseline Road and Randall Avenue); and o Install streetlights (not included in grant request). • Segment 2. Alder Avenue 530 Linear Feet (between Miller Avenue and Fairview Drive) o Install sidewalks; o Construct curb and gutter; o Construct ADA-accessible curb ramps; o Construct ADA-compliant driveways; o Install Class III bicycle lane signage and pavement legends (listed as a proposed improvement on page 5-64 of the NMTP - Alder Avenue between Baseline Avenue and Randall Avenue); o Install streetlights (not included in grant request); and o Install crosswalk striping at Fairfax Street. • Segment 3. Laurel Avenue 670 Linear Feet (from Raymond Court to Miller Avenue) o Install sidewalks; o Construct curb and gutter; o Construct ADA-accessible curb ramps; o Construct ADA-compliant driveways; and o Install streetlights (not included in grant request). • Segment 4. Miller Avenue 1,140 Linear Feet (from Alder Avenue to Laurel Avenue) o Install sidewalks; o Construct curb and gutter; o Construct ADA-accessible curb ramps; o Construct ADA-compliant driveways; o Install Class III bicycle lane signage and pavement legends (listed as a proposed improvement on page 5-65 of the NMTP - Miller Avenue between the Pacific Electric Trail and Maple Avenue); and o Install streetlights (not included in grant request). The project will be designed according to general design criteria for non-motorized facilities as outlined in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, the ASSHTO Guide for Planning, Design, and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities (2004), and the ASSHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (2004). The proposed project will also remove mobility barriers including flooded streets during storm events. As gutters and street drains help prevent street flooding, bicyclists will have the option to travel on streets, even on rainy days. It is the City’s hope that, by providing safer pathways, residents will choose to walk or bike to their destinations for both work, school and play; thereby reducing the number of vehicle trips, which in turn decreases the level of greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. The following supports potential use of the project: 3 Socio-Economic Data. Many of Fontana’s residents share one vehicle or have no vehicle, and walking and/or biking are their only options to get to school, work, local and regional transportation connections, as well as shopping, community, and recreation destinations. According to the 2015 U.S. Census and the California Department of Education, the following demographics highlight the City's ethnic diversity and socio-economic status: • Total Fontana population: 203,003; • 67% of Fontana residents report being of Hispanic or Latino descent; • 15% of residents are living below the poverty level; • Only 15% of residents over the age of 25 have attained a Bachelor's degree, or higher; • 30% of residents are foreign-born and 58% speak a language other than English (Fontana boasts a high immigrant population); • 1,180 students attend the benefitting school (Alder Middle School) with 89% qualifying for the USDA Free and Reduced Price Meal Program; • The City's unemployment rate is 7.3% compared to the State of California rate of 6.7%. Over 4,800 residents live within a half-mile of the project site and represent potential users who have the option to walk or bike to their destinations rather than drive. A safer sidewalk network provides a more economical way to travel for lower-income families. Of those residents living within a half-mile of the project sites, 719 live below the poverty level (See Attachment D for details). Improvements to the existing sidewalk and bicycle networks are projected to help low-income residents save on transportation costs, including vehicle maintenance and fuel, simply by walking or biking to their destinations. Bike/Walk Count Information. For the 2016-2017 school year, Alder Middle School had 1,180 enrolled students. Of those enrolled, 74% or approximately 872 students, walked or rode a bicycle to and from school. A study performed by the California Safe Routes to Schools program demonstrated that one of the most effective engineering measures to encourage children to walk to school is to provide sidewalks. The National Household Travel Survey predicts an overall 10% increase in active transportation due to new sidewalks, an increase of approximately 87 students in addition to other potential pathway users. Surveys collected for SBCTA SRTS analysis provides additional support for an increase in student users. The survey revealed that 30% of Fontana parents interviewed stated they do not want their children to walk or bike to school alone, 10% cited due to no bike paths or bike lanes, and 10% stated their children do not walk or bike to school because there are no continuous sidewalks along their routes. By installing sidewalks that provide improved safety and connections to school routes, we are confidant parents will feel safer allowing their children to walk or bike to school and will encourage more children to utilize the new pathways. In addition, the installation of streetlights will improve the safety of dawn and dusk walking and biking particularly during the winter months when it is still dark outside when children are travelling to school or getting dark when leaving afterschool activities. Public Health. Healthy Fontana is a community-based program that promotes a healthy lifestyle and encourages physical exercise. Originally developed by the then City Mayor’s Let’s Move initiative to help combat childhood obesity, the program has been in existence for over 10 years to encourage students to walk or bike to school and local destinations. Program activities include walking clubs and partnering with Fontana Unified School District (FUSD) to encourage elementary-aged children to incorporate one hour of physical exercise per day. Since over 33% of the City’s population consists of residents under the age of 18, the proposed project aims to benefit a large portion of the City population and represents the City’s dedication to encouraging an increase in potential pedestrian and/or bicycle pathway users. 4 According to a 2013 Community Health Needs Assessment performed by Kaiser Hospital, 33% of youth and 28% of adults in Fontana are overweight or obese. Participation in active transportation increases daily physical activity proven to combat the childhood obesity epidemic that plagues our youth. Describe how this project is situated in the regional system. Explain how the project is consistent with a Regional Transportation Plan or SANBAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP), if applicable: A stated goal within Fontana’s chapter of the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority’s (SBCTA) Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP) is to provide pedestrian access to connect surrounding land uses and commercial or mixed uses (page 5-66-68), in addition to providing pedestrian circulation systems that are safe, all-weather surfaces and aesthetically pleasing. The program of projects in the SBCTA NMTP have been incorporated into the Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG’s) 2012 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), which was adopted in April 2012 and amended September 11, 2014, after a 30-day public review and comment period. The proposed project included in this application is considered a part of that broader regional system. See Attachment H for selected pages of SCAG’s RTP/SCS and SBCTA’s NMTP, which can also be found at the following electronic link: http://www.sanbag.ca.gov/planning2/pdf/NMTP-RevisedMay2015.pdf. Outline the destinations served by this project. Destinations can be in a list form with potential number of bicycle and/or pedestrian users described: The City conducted a careful analysis of City streets to identify project sites that would provide the most utilized routes for residents, with particular attention on the local student population. In addition to creating new sidewalk routes for over 870 school children who walk or bike to and from Alder Middle School, the project will also provide links and connecting routes to some of the top employers in the City (Wal-Mart, Kaiser Hospital, City of Fontana, and Target Corporation), and allow for employees to commute on foot, via bike, or link to public transportation. The proposed project provides connectivity to 12 bus stops, three churches, two parks, three schools, and one hospital, in addition to several businesses that are all within one mile of the proposed project site. Please see Attachment A: Destinations and Connections Map. Locations within one-half mile of the project site. 1. Alder Middle School (7555 Alder Ave.): For the 2016-2017 school year, Alder Middle School had 1,180 enrolled students, 74%, approximately 872 students, who walked or rode a bicycle to and from school. 2. Fernandez Park (18006 Miller Ave.): According to the American Community Survey, 5,118 residents live within one-half mile of Fernandez park and represent potential users of new bicycle and/or pedestrian pathways in the area. 3. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (7526 Alder Ave.): According to the American Community Survey, 5,657 residents live within one-half mile of the church. Residents in the area, numerous members, and 21 employees of the church represent potential users of new bicycle and/or pedestrian pathways in the area. 4. Iglesia Pentecostal Emmanuel (7572 Laurel Ave.): According to the American Community Survey, 5,358 residents live within one-half mile of the church. Residents in the area, numerous members, and three employees of the church represent potential users of new bicycle and/or pedestrian pathways in the area. 5 5. Laurel Convalescent Hospital (7509 Laurel Ave.): According to the American Community Survey, 4,700 residents live within one-half mile of the hospital. Residents in the area, patients (currently housing 95 temporary and permanent), staff, and numerous visitors of the nursing home represent potential users of new bicycle and/or pedestrian pathways in the area. 6. Blessed John XXIII Catholic Community Church (7650 Tamarind Ave at the corner of Miller Ave.): According to the American Community Survey, 7,048 residents live within one-half mile of the church. Residents in the area, members, and employees of the church represent potential users of new bicycle and/or pedestrian pathways in the area. Describe how this project improves the safety of cyclists and/or pedestrians using the corridor: The City of Fontana faces barriers to active transportation that can be addressed through thoughtful planning, engineering, and design. Such barriers include wide roadways with fast-moving vehicle traffic like Foothill Boulevard, Valley Boulevard and Jurupa Avenue, to name a few. Fontana’s existing bicycle network helps to integrate bicycling into the roadway system and there are many opportunities for enhancing connectivity and user experience. Many of the existing bike lanes are narrow and do not provide adequate connectivity between where people live, work, and play. Goal 2 of the Fontana Active Transportation Plan is Safety. The goal is to improve safety for active transportation users through the design and maintenance of sidewalks, streets, intersections, and other roadway improvements such as signage, lighting, wayfinding, and landscaping; as well as best practice, non-infrastructure programs to enhance and improve the overall safety of people walking and bicycling. By implementing such projects as the proposed Alder Middle School SRTS Project, the City aims to reduce the combined number of collisions, injuries, and fatalities involving people walking and bicycling by 50 percent from 2015 levels by 2025. Currently, the proposed project area has 2,625 linear feet of sidewalk gaps where children aged 11-15 are forced to walk in the street or on dirt/grass areas directly next to the roadways. The proposed project will address three main thoroughfare roadways which provide access to Alder Middle School and local area destinations: Alder Avenue (11,000 ADT), Laurel Avenue (2,300 ADT), and Miller Avenue (6,200 ADT). The speed limits on the three roadways have posted speed limits ranging from 35 to 50 mph (outside of the designated school zones) where children who live in the surrounding neighborhoods walk and/or bike to and from school. According to the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) SRTS Collision Reports, between 2006 and 2013 there have been eight (8) injury accidents involving cyclists and/or pedestrians within one-half mile of Alder Middle School (See Attachment E for further details). In San Bernardino County, 8% of roadway injuries and 19% of fatalities are suffered by people walking or biking (SCAG, 2012 RTP/SCS). The Federal Highway Administration’s 2008 Traffic Safety Study found that when pedestrians and bicyclists travel on separate pathways from vehicles, the number of accidents is reduced by up to 88%. The proposed project will reduce the number of pedestrian and bike incidents by providing new sidewalks and Class III bike route signage and pavement legends that will provide additional awareness to drivers of the presence of bicyclists. Explain the multimodal or transit system connectivity provided by this project: The proposed SRTS project is listed in the SBCTA NMTP as part of the proposed regional bike network. The project implements bike and pedestrian improvements to Alder and Miller Avenues along sections listed in the NMTP as proposed Class II and Class III bike lanes. Forward-thinking planning activities by the City and the SBCTA positioned this project ideally for connectivity. Alder and Laurel Avenues are 6 primary north/south corridors connecting to Baseline Avenue to the north and Foothill Boulevard to the south. Baseline Avenue and Foothill Boulevard are OmniTrans transit bus routes with 12 bus stops in the immediate project area (within one mile). Omnitrans Route 10 along Baseline Avenue serves the cities of San Bernardino and Fontana, and connects to the San Bernardino Transit Center (SBTC), which is also served by Mountain Area Regional Transit Authority (MARTA) and Victor Valley Transit Authority buses. SBTC (opened in 2015) is also a proposed stop on the Metrolink commuter rail system's San Bernardino Line, Inland Empire-Orange County Line, and the Redlands Passenger Rail Project. Route 10 also connects to the Fontana Metrolink Transfer Center, which connects by rail to San Bernardino and Los Angeles. OmniTrans Route 14 along Foothill Boulevard also connects to both of these regional transportation hubs, as well as Fontana City Hall, Lewis Library & Technology Center, Omnitrans Metro, and the San Bernardino Senior Center. The project provides a high level of connectivity to these intermodal opportunities. The NMTP suggests that local jurisdictions “develop better bicycle connectivity between cities and subareas of the County by coordinating the location and staging of network improvements…Connectivity on Class II and Class III bicycle facilities can be increased by prioritizing the ‘low-hanging fruit’ – parts of the regional system that are low-cost, close gaps in the system, and provide connections to key destinations” (SBCTA NMTP page ES-8). Our proposed project does just that. We are asking for cost-efficient improvements that will close gaps in key segments of pedestrian and bicycle routes to schools and regional transit stops. The project removes existing barriers to pedestrian and bike travel, and improves access to a dozen bus stops in the project area. The project implements a key segment of a safe, interconnected cycling and walking system in our community, and in our region. Establish the level of this project’s readiness. Include a discussion on the local participation process that resulted in the identification and prioritization of the project: Existing Infrastructure. The proposed project locations on Alder Ave., Miller Ave., and Laurel Ave. are paved and well-maintained vehicle corridors. The intersection at Alder Ave. and Miller Ave. is currently signalized and Laurel Ave. and Miller Ave. (both included in the project area) is an all-way stop. Project Readiness. The proposed project is in the preliminary design phase. If awarded, the proposed schedule will be as follows: • Task 1. Execute Grant Agreement (3 months) • Task 2. Design (6 months) • Task 3. Advertise and Bid for Proposals/Environmental Compliance (4 months) • Task 4. Construction (4 months) • Task 5. Project and Grant Close-Out (2 months) Local Participation. SBCTA Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (adopted March 2011 and updated May 2015). The SBCTA Plans and Programs Committee served as the committee with policy oversight throughout the process. Public involvement opportunities were available through the open meetings of the Plans and Programs Committee. Agendas were posted and were available to all through the SBCTA website. However, direct outreach to the public and advocacy groups was limited during the course of the development of this Plan, due to the compressed timeline in which the Plan had to be prepared once the dates were set by 7 the State for local jurisdiction applications for Bicycle Transportation Account funds. Nevertheless, one of the implementation actions listed in Chapter 7 was to take this significantly upgraded NMTP to both bicycle and pedestrian advocates and the general public. Comments and suggestions from these groups were incorporated into the Plan for the 2015 update. SBCTA (SANBAG) SRTS Phase II (in development). In preparation for the SBCTA SRTS Phase II Plan, SBCTA developed extensive public outreach opportunities in each community. On May 9, 2016, SBCTA held a SRTS Walk/Bike Audit at Alder Middle School including the following activities: 1) volunteers took counts of students walking and/or biking to and from school; 2) photos were taken along the pathways taken by students to document sidewalk, bike path, and safety needs; 3) surveys were sent to every parent; and 4) a public meeting was held to discuss safety needs and the desires of the community. Over 300 surveys were completed and returned citing an overwhelming desire for sidewalks and bike paths. Many parents cited a willingness to allow their children to bike and/or walk (who currently do not walk and/or bike) if there were safer routes available. Surveys are available by request. Fontana Active Transportation Plan (Draft) June 1, 2017. Through engaging the community in a multi- faceted, interactive outreach approach, which included several pop-up workshops, in-person interviews, and an online survey, this Plan is an opportunity to educate the community on opportunities to improve bicycling and walking, gauge the community’s commitment level to active transportation facilities, increase awareness and promote mutual respect between road users, and identify current bicycle and pedestrian network deficiencies and safety issues. Has the agency delivered past projects on Schedule? If yes, what steps will be taken to ensure similar results? If no, what steps will be taken to prevent a similar occurrence: Yes. Fontana has extensive experience managing and implementing this type of project on schedule and within budget. The City has assembled a project team of experienced, highly qualified engineers with experience planning, designing, and implementing similar projects. The project’s management team has managed similar projects with coordinated, interagency cooperation, and understand how to facilitate and achieve a successful bicycle/pedestrian project in a high-density urban area. In addition to an expert team managing the project, the City will contract with leading experts whenever internal expertise is insufficient to meet project needs.

This picture shows a lack of proper crosswalks. Students are forced to maneuver across traffic, while motorists must yield to pedestrian traffic. This causes a ‘guessing game’ between pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorist. Without proper crosswalks pedestrians and bicyclists are at risk of being hit by moving traffic. Photo B –Alder Avenue. Students walking along the roadway with moving traffic. Without proper sidewalks, students can easily be side- swiped by moving vehicles. Photo C -Alder Avenue. This is an example of the current lack of adequate sidewalks and crosswalks along Alder Avenue. At the open and close of school daily, approximately 872 students either walk or bike to and from school and are sharing the roadways with vehicles travelling 40-50 miles per hour outside of school zones daily. The average daily traffic on Alder Avenue alone is 11,000 vehicles.

At the bottom of this pyramid is System Monitoring and Evaluation. In order to be effective system managers, we must have an in-depth understanding of how our system performs and why it performs the way it does. Only by understanding these causes can we identify the optimal mix of strategies and projects that yield the highest returns on our investments. Next, we must take care of what we have and make sure that what we have is performing at the most efficient level possible. So, the basic idea as you move up the “mobility pyramid” is to implement less capital intensive strategies or less invasive strategies before we consider implement- ing more drastic measures to deal with our challenges. At the same time, we must be realistic about our ability to address our challenges with “soft solutions” alone in the face of the tremendous growth that we anticipate over the next 25 years. Therefore, at the top of the pyramid are the capital improvement projects that will allow us to expand our system strategically to accommodate such future growth and maintain and improve our economic prosperity. Following the system management philosophy, this chapter sets forth the investments and strategies that constitute the 2012–2035 RTP/SCS. First, transportation invest- ments should seek to optimize the performance of the existing system, and this includes system maintenance and preservation, integrated land use, operational improvements, transportation demand management, and transportation systems management strategies. Second, investments should seek to complete the system by addressing gaps. Finally, our investments should expand the system strategically. As a result, Southern Californians will enjoy more and better travel choices via an efficient multimodal transportation sys- tem with improved access to the vast opportunities this region has to offer. getting the most Out of Our system Over the past half century, the SCAG region has invested billions of dollars into building and expanding the multimodal transportation system that we have and rely on today. This investment must be protected. Under the system management approach, priority should be given to maintaining and preserving this system, as well as ensuring that it is being operated as safely, efficiently, and effectively as possible. Protecting our previous invest- ments in developing the region’s transportation system and getting the most out of every one of its components is the highest priority for this RTP/SCS. safety and security first SCAG recognizes how important the safety and security of our transportation system is to our residents. The good news is we have made significant progress in improving safety, particularly highway safety, which accounts for the majority of transportation-related accidents, around the state and in our region. But, we can do more. SCAG continues to support the implementation of the State Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and works in part- nership with Caltrans and the CTCs around the region to improve the safety and security of our transportation system. Safety improvements are intricately woven into the RTP/SCS at all levels. Many of the strategy and investment categories in this RTP/SCS aim to improve the safety of our multimodal transportation system. For instance, enhancing maintenance and preservation of the region’s buses, rail track, bridges, and roadway pavements will contribute toward reduced accidents and improved safety. Similarly, expanding the network of bike lanes and sidewalks and bringing them into ADA (American with Disabilities Act) compliance will reduce accidents directly related to these modes. Furthermore, deploying technol- ogy such as advanced ramp metering to manage traffic flow also reduces collisions at on-ramps and critical freeway-to-freeway interchanges. In short, almost every category of investments discussed in this chapter leads to safety benefits. SCAG has two main safety and security goals: ƒEnsure transportation safety, security, and reliability for all people and goods in the region. ƒPrevent, protect, respond to, and recover from major human-caused or natural events in order to minimize the threat and impact to lives, property, the transporta- tion network, and the regional economy. sAfET y The rate of fatal and injury collisions on California’s highways has declined dramatically since the California Highway Patrol began keeping such data in the 1930s. California has led the nation in roadway safety for much of the past 20 years. Only recently have road- ways nationally become as safe as those in California. FiGURe 2.2 shows the improvement in roadway accidents in the SCAG region over the last 10 years. 15 2012–2035 RTP/SCS | Chapter 2: Transportation Investments 53 ƒIncreasing the frequency and quality of fixed-route bus service and the introduction of local community circulators to provide residents of smart growth developments with the option of taking transit over using a car to make short, local trips, and ƒThe implementation of transit priority facilities, such as bus lanes and traffic signal priority. Active Transportation Active transportation refers to transportation such as walking or using a bicycle, tri- cycle, velomobile, wheelchair, scooter, skates, skateboard, push scooter, trailer, hand cart, shopping car, or similar electrical devices. For the purposes of the RTP/SCS, active transportation generally refers to bicycling and walking, the two most common methods. Walking and bicycling are essential parts of the SCAG transportation system, are low cost, do not emit greenhouse gases, can help reduce roadway congestion, and increase health and the quality of life of residents. As the region works toward reducing conges- tion and air pollution, walking and bicycling will become more essential to meet the future needs of Californians. The majority of commuters within the SCAG region commute via car, truck, or van. According to the American Community Survey, in 2009, more than 85 percent of all com- muters traveled to work by car, truck, or van, and less than 4 percent traveled to work via an active transportation mode (0.7 percent bicycled and 2.5 percent walked to work). In addition, the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) data indicate that approximately 20.9 percent of all trips were conducted by walking (19.2 percent) or bicycling (1.7 per- cent). This represents an approximately 75 percent increase from the 11.9 percent active transportation mode share in 2000. In addition, NHTS data indicate that 75.0 percent of all trips in 2009 were conducted by driving, and this is an approximately 10.6 percent decrease from the 83.9 percent mode share in 2000. Additional analysis regarding active transportation needs to be conducted in order to develop a better understanding of the users and their needs. The current level of data is extremely limited and does not provide a comprehensive overview of the current active transportation community. Active transportation users have differing levels of experience and confidence, which influences their decision to utilize active transportation. SCAG recognizes that there are a number of factors that motivate people to use active transpor- tation. Increased data collection may provide a clearer understanding of the needs and deficiencies associated with active transportation. Active transportation is not only a form of transportation in itself; it is also a means by which to access rail and bus service. Accessibility is one of the primary performance measures used to evaluate active transportation, by measuring how well the current infrastructure provides individuals with the opportunity to access destinations or facilities. Using a two-mile buffer for bicyclists and a half-mile buffer for pedestrians, we found that our current transit infrastructures provides 97 percent of our residents access to transit via bicycle and 86 percent access to transit by walking. While many individuals have access to transit stations by biking or walking, numerous other factors may influence an individual’s decision to use active transportation. Safety is an important factor that individuals consider when determining whether or not they should walk or bike to their destination. Based on data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), in 2008, 4.0 percent of all traffic-related fatalities in the SCAG region involved bicyclists, and 4.3 percent of all traffic-related injuries involved bicyclists. In addition, 20.9 percent of all traffic-related fatalities in the SCAG region involved a pedestrian, and 5.7 percent of traffic-related injuries involved pedestrians. While each of the counties in the SCAG region currently has its own active transporta- tion plan, the RTP/SCS aims at developing a regional active transportation system that closes the gaps and provides connectivity between counties and local jurisdictions. While bicyclists are legally allowed to use any public roadway in California unless specifically prohibited, many bicyclists may be more inclined to utilize bikeways. Currently, 42.6 percent of the region’s residents have easy access to 4,315 miles of bikeways. Local jurisdictions in the region have proposed an additional 4,980 miles of bikeways in this RTP/SCS that would increase this access to 62.4 percent of all residents. In order to close the remaining gaps in the bikeway network, this RTP/SCS goes a step further to include an additional 827 miles of bikeways to complete the SCAG Regional Bikeway Network. In order to make active transportation a more attractive and feasible mode of travel for the different users in our region, additional infrastructure improvements need to be made. The 2012–2035 RTP/SCS calls for improvements that would bring significant amount of deficient sidewalks into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Given that all trips, including vehicular trips, start with walking, it is important to ensure that the sidewalks and streets are accommodating to all users. In all, the RTP/SCS’s active transportation improvements exceed $6.7 billion. 16 2012–2035 RTP/SCS | Chapter 4: Sustainable Communities Strategy 141 Local Efforts ventura downtown Parking management district In order to solve the apparent parking shortage in its downtown area, the City of Ventura completed a downtown parking study. The study revealed that plenty of spaces were available in nearby city-owned lots, while other prime spaces in close proximity to local businesses were in high demand and always occupied. Local business employees were parking in the spaces most coveted by customers and patrons. The City’s solution to the problem: a flexible, demand-responsive paid parking district. Parking in downtown Ventura has since improved, contributing to a better downtown experience. Travel Demand management (TDm) In addition to the transportation network, the 2012–2035 RTP/SCS also relies on strate- gic and extensive Travel Demand Management (TDM) measures that support the expected land use pattern. These cost-effective strategies improve the effectiveness and capacity of the transportation system by supporting a shift from single-occupancy vehicle use to other alternatives. Many local jurisdictions in our region have become national lead- ers in the implementation of TDM strategies. For example, SCAG is working with local jurisdictions to close the gaps in the regional bikeway network and bring 12,000 miles of deficient sidewalks into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). TDM measures will receive a total of $4.5 billion in available revenues compared to $1.3 billion in 2008, a more than 200 percent increase. The 2012–2035 RTP/SCS employs the following TDM measures to improve mobility and access: ƒBringing the majority of sidewalks and intersections in our region into American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance to increase the usability and effectiveness of our active transportation system; ƒPromoting telecommuting and flexible work schedules; ƒDevelopment of mobility hubs for first mile/last mile connectivity; ƒExpanding parking cash out programs in urban areas; and ƒPromoting Guaranteed Ride Home programs. Transportation system management (Tsm) Transportation System Management (TSM) measures also support the goals of the RTP/ SCS by making improvements to increase capacity and improve operational efficiency. These techniques contribute to improved traffic flow, better air quality, and improved system accessibility and safety. The following TSM measures support the forecasted land use development pattern of the 2012–2035 RTP/SCS: ƒEnhanced incident management; ƒAdvanced ramp metering; ƒCorridor System Management plans; ƒTraffic signal synchronization; and ƒImproved data collection.

A.B. Miller, an early agricultural landowner who figures prominently in our City’s founding, rededicated Rosena as Fontana in 1913. By the 1930s, the City was largely settled from Baseline to the Santa Fe Railway. From the beginning, the development of Fontana radiated outward from the downtown. The establishment of the Kaiser Steel Mill changed the character of the community from rural to industrial in 1942. The population and intensity of development increased dramatically in the next decade, and consequently, the City incorporated as Fontana in 1952. The City is now home to 190,356 people in an incorporated area encompassing over 36 square miles, with another 16 square miles in its sphere of influence Fontana’s economy has continued to diversify, with steel production playing less of a role since the 1984 closure of Kaiser Steel, and the rise of the trucking and distribution industries. The City is now among the fastest growing communities in the Inland Empire, with residential and commercial development continuing to move northward, due in part to the supply of vacant land there, and the access provided to it by the newly constructed SR-210 freeway and I-15. Land Use In the early 1900s, Fontana was a diversified agricultural community, producing major commodities such as citrus, grain, grapes, poultry, and swine. In 1942, the area began to transition to a more industrial base with the founding of the Kaiser Steel Mill. Today, Fontana is both a bedroom community, with a commuting population of workers, and, due to its suburban location near several major freeway and rail transportation corridors, is also a major Inland Empire hub of warehousing and distribution centers. These uses are located primarily in the City’s southern half, adjacent to the I-10 corridor. There is also some concentration of these uses near Cherry Ave. and Baseline. Heavy industrial areas surround the former Kaiser Steel (now California Steel) within the City’s sphere of influence, and along the I-10 corridor between Valley Blvd and Slover Ave. A range of residential neighborhoods has developed in the City. The established single and multi-family residential neighborhoods and commercial core of Fontana is largely San Bernardino County Non-Motorized Transportation Plan – Chapter 5 5-60 contained between Baseline and Valley Boulevard. Newer residential development is occurring along the northern edge of the City west of the I-15 freeway, and radiating north and south of the SR 210 corridor. A large portion of Fontana, north of the SR 210 still remains to develop as a mix of planned communities and job centers. Nearly one- third of the acreage within the City and its sphere is vacant. Existing Conditions: Fontana’s non-motorized bicycle network has expanded significantly since the last update to the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan. The City is finishing construction on the Pacific Electric Trail, which is scheduled to be complete by June 2011. Once complete, the Pacific Electric Trail will be one continuous Class I trail from Fontana to the Los Angeles County Line. With the completion of the Pacific Electric Trail, 8.86 miles of Class I bikeways will exist in Fontana. The City has striped 27.64 miles of Class II bike lanes, mostly on major transportation corridors throughout the City. There also exists 4.85 miles of Class I facilities. The bike lanes provide connectivity to commercial, residential, educational and recreational amenities throughout the city. Past Investment in Non-Motorized Infrastructure The improvements included in Table 5.34 constitute a significant investment into the non-motorized transportation infrastructure of Fontana. Based on planning level estimates, the value of the improvements implemented throughout the City is $6,232,000.

Most of the City’s future improvements focus on additional Class II facilities, but some new Class I and Class III facilities are proposed. A table of future improvements is included in Table 5.35 below. At this time the Fontana does not have a priority list of improvements. When complete, however, the City will have constructed an additional 84.85 miles of Class I, II and III at a total estimated cost of $26,485,550. The proposed improvements will provide a significant upgrade to the density and connectivity of the bicycle network in the City. Additionally, the City of Fontana has not identified any priority improvements as part of this plan. Table 5.35: Fontana Future Improvements Street/Path From To Class Length (mi.)
