Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project
OVERVIEW
The proposed Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project will create active transportation
infrastructure that will connect residents locally in the western portion of the Town of Apple
Valley, and regionally throughout the Victor Valley area. The Town of Apple Valley and City of
Victorville have recently made great progress in developing their respective bicycled and
pedestrian networks. Both entities have developed riverwalks creating the Regional Mojave
Riverwalk along the Mojave River; Yucca Loma Road was expanded to include a bridge to
Victorville, complete with Class I bicycle facilities; and Apple Valley has developed a network of
Class I and Class II bicycle facilities. The proposed project will provide connections for residents
to access these facilities. Currently, people living in neighborhoods in close proximity to these
facilities do not have a designate space that provides access to these community amenities. The
project also closes a gap in the sidewalk network near Rio Vista School of Applied Learning (K-
5).
The proposed Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project (‘Connector Project’) includes several
elements that connect to the greater Apple Valley/Victorville bike/ped network. The Connector
Project consists of sidewalks, a multiuse path, high -visibility crosswalks, pavement markings,
signage, and ADA ramps. If people can walk and bike to Yucca Loma Road, then the bike/ped
network opens up with connections to Victorville, Mojave Narrows National Park, riverwalks in
both Victorville and Apple Valley, Victor Valley College, and a network of bicycle facilities
throughout Apple Valley.
From the proposed project going west on Yucca Loma Road, Class I bicycle facilities seamlessly
cross the new Yucca Loma Bridge. The bridge provides a direct connection to the Mojave
Riverwalk Project, expected to be completed Summer 2019. Future phases in bicycle facility
development in Victorville will provide Class II facilities through Old Town, Victorville
connecting to the Transportation Center on D Street. From the Transportation Center, a
passenger can travel to Los Angeles or as far as Chicago (by way of an Amtrak train) or to Las
Vegas (by way of a Greyhound bus).
From the proposed project going east on Yucca Loma Road, the Class I bicycle facilities continue
an extensive network of Class I and II facilities in Apple Valley. Please see Exhibit 1 f or the
proposed project area and its connections to the existing bicycle facilities in the region. The
implementation of the Connector Project will provide people with a connection to the existing
network.

Exhibit 1: Proposed Connector Project’s Connections with Regional Bicycle Facilities and Riverwalk Project
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Connector Project consists of several active transportation components located
north and south of Yucca Loma Road. These proposed bicycle and pedestrian facilities, totaling
6.6 miles in length, will provide access from neighborhoods to Yucca Loma Road which connects
users to the regional bike/ped network. Making these connections provides an opportunity for
residents to be able to walk and bike to Rio Vista School and to access the neighborhoods on
both sides of Yucca Loma Road. As seen in Exhibit 1, this creates a critical network for people to
take their kids for a walk, go for a jog, walk their dogs, etc.
NORTH OF YUCCA LOMA ROAD
North of Yucca Loma Road, SBCTA’s Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP) calls for a
network of Class III bicycle facilities to connect residents to the existing Class I bicycle facility on
Yucca Loma Road and the Class II facility on Apple Valley Road. Please see Attachment A for
reference to the proposed project north of Yucca Loma Road in the NMTP. All proposed
facilities north of Yucca Loma will include sharrows and signage to specifically designate space
for bicycle travel. Please see Exhibit 2 for proposed project details. Final design will be
completed by July 2019.

The proposed improvements north of Yucca Loma Road will consist of Class III bicycle facilities.
They will be implemented in accordance with the National Association of City Transportation
Officials (NACTO) Urban Bikeway Design Guide. This calls for shared lane markings (sharrows)
used to indicate a shared lane environment for bicycles and automobiles. Road markin gs will
provide guidance regarding proper bicyclists positioning and will alert motor vehicles drivers to
the potential presence of bicyclists. Directional signage will be used to guide bicyclists along the
network of Class III bicycle facilities, and to also alert motor vehicle drivers to the potential
presence of bicyclists. Riverside Drive will have signage designating the roadway as a Scenic
Bikeway. This will be Apple Valley’s first designated Scenic Bikeway.
SOUTH OF YUCCA LOMA ROAD
South of Yucca Loma Road, in the vicinity of Rio Vista School of Applied Learning (Rio Vista
School), the proposed project includes the installation of sidewalks, a multiuse path, high-
visibility crosswalks, and ADA ramps that will provide residents pedestrian and bicycle access to
Yucca Loma Road. Yucca Loma Road’s Class I bicycle facilities connect to the greater bicycle
network. The proposed project south of Yucca Loma Road has been identified as the top
priority in the Apple Valley Unified School District’s Safe Routes to School Plan, as it will provide
bicycle and pedestrian access to both Rio Vista School and the Class I bicycle facility on Yucca
Loma Road. The existing sidewalk gaps near the school are a barrier that prevent many families
from allowing students to walk to and from school. According to the Safe Routes to School
National Partnership, pedestrians are two times less likely to be struck by a vehicle in locations
with sidewalks. The proposed Connector Project includes .94 miles of separated facilities for
bicyclists and pedestrians. Please see Exhibit 3 for the preliminary engineer drawings of the
proposed project. The full page document can be found in Attachment B. 30% engineering
design documents can be found here - https://blaisassoc.egnyte.com/dl/nC4gVScWak Final
design will be completed by July 2019.

miles.
d. High-Visibility Crosswalks
i. Havasu Road and Cronese Lane Intersection: High-visibility crosswalks will
be installed on the eastern leg and the southern leg of this intersection.
New ADA ramps will be installed on the northeast corner an d the
southeast corner. The southwest corner has an ADA ramp that will be
reconstructed.
ii. Havasu Road and Kasanka Trail: A high-visibility crosswalk will be installed
on the western leg of this intersection. This crosswalk will connect to
existing sidewalks on both Kasanka Trail and Havasu Road.

Exhibit 3: Proposed Connector Project – South of Yucca Loma Road – Concept Design
LOCATION
The proposed Connector Project is located in the proximity of Yucca Loma Road and Havasu
Road in Apple Valley. To the west of the project location is the new Yucca Loma Bridge which is
complete with a Class I bicycle facility that connects to the Mojave Riverwalk. The Mojave River
serves as the boundary between the City of Victorville and the Town of Apple Valley. To the
east of the project location, Yucca Loma Road intersects with Apple Valley Road which also
houses a Class I bicycle facility. Apple Valley Road is also the route of Victor Valley Transit
Authority’s Route 42, which includes a bus stop at Apple Valley Road and Yucca Loma Road, 0.5
miles from the project location. This bus route is shown in Exhibit 1.

TRANSPORTATION PURPOSE & POTENTIAL USE
The proposed Connector Project has great transportation and recreational value because it
connects to the larger regional and Town bicycle transportation network, as seen in Exhibit 1.
Before the Yucca Loma Bridge was constructed in 2016 with a Class I bicycle facility, it was
extremely difficult to bike from the proposed project area to Victorville or the Mojave Narrows
Regional Park. From the proposed project area, cyclists would need to bike south and around
Apple Valley to get to Bear Valley Road to cross the Mojave River to Victorville, then bike north
from Bear Valley Road to Mojave Narrows Regional Park (also illustrated in Exhibit 1). This is a
7.5-mile long ‘U’ shaped route to get from the proposed project area to the Regional Park.
However, when the Yucca Loma Bridge opened with Class I facilities, this created a short 1.5
mile connection directly to the Regional Park from the proposed project area.

The Yucca Loma Bridge connects to Victorville’s Riverwalk Project which is only 0.5 miles away
from the proposed project area (see Exhibit 1) . If residents could access Yucca Loma Road, then
they would only be 0.5 mile away from a four-mile Riverwalk that flanks the western bank of
the Mojave River.
Exhibit 5: Yucca Loma Bridge
If the proposed Connector Project is implemented, and a connection is provided for residents to
access the Yucca Loma Bridge, we expect many adults and families will be walking and biking to
Victorville’s Mojave Riverwalk (to be completed Summer 2019), and to the Mojave Narrows
Regional Park. Please see page 13 for additional information about the Riverwalk and Mojave
Narrows Regional Park and its amenities.
The Yucca Loma Bridge project, and the Class I facilities incorporated into the Yucca Loma Road
upgrades have completely changed the bicycle and pedestrian opportunities for the residential
area east of the Mojave River by Yucca Loma Road. The proposed project will allow the
residents of this area to physically access the Class I bicycle facilities on Yucca Loma Road .
Connections to Yucca Loma Road creates opportunities to bicycle to community amenities such
as Yucca Loma Park, Apple Valley Skate Park, and James Woody Community Center and Park.
Connecting to the Class I facilities on Yucca Loma Road, Apple Valley Road, Navajo Road, and
the Riverwalk South also creates connections to a network of Class II facilities. With the
Town of Apple Valley
TDA Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities

implementation of the proposed Connector Project, residents will have direct connection to
most of central, southern, and eastern portions of Apple Valley by way of Class I and/or Class II
facilities.
The Connector Project also has great potential to increase walking and biking to Rio Vist a
School. Exhibit 6 shows the project referenced in The Apple Valley Safe Routes to School Plan
(2016). The sidewalk gaps identified are the proposed project components south of Yucca Loma
Road. Exhibit 7 is a route utilization map that takes into account where students live and
displays where students will be walking and bicycling to school. Exhibit 8 displays the walk shed
around Rio Vista School. The proposed project will provide access to Rio Vista School for
students located within a five minute walk.

Exhibit 8: Walk Shed Around Rio Vista School
In 2016, 48% of Rio Vista School’s student population (512 students) lived within a 1-mile
radius. The Parents’ Safe Routes to School survey results indicated 15% of students (or 160
students) at Rio Vista School walk or bike to school. The Safe Routes to School National
Partnership studied 801 schools to evaluate the increase of students walking and biking to
school after improvements were made; when education, encouragement, and infrastructure

improvements are made, a school can expect to see an increase in walking and biking of up to
43%. This would increase the total number of students at Rio Vista School that walk or bike
from 160 to 229, or 21.5% of the student population.
PROJECT PURPOSE & NEED
The purpose of the proposed Connector Project is twofold:
• To provide a regional connection to the Apple Valley – Victorville bike/ped network as
illustrated in Exhibit 1
• To provide a local connection to the Rio Vista School for Applied Learning and the
neighborhood bike/ped network
POPULATION SERVED
Socio-Economic and Community Status. According to the U.S. Census Bureau ’s 2018 population
estimates, Apple Valley (population 73,077) is a relatively young town with a median age of 37
years. Nearly 1,400 residents live within two miles of Rio Vista School, and their per capita
income is $34,515. At Rio Vista School, 46 percent of students are minorities, six percent are
not proficient in English (i.e., they are considered ‘English learners’), and more than 40 percent
(or 455 children) are eligible for Free- or Reduced-Priced Meals. There are no sports/athletic
fields within two miles of the project area, making the playground and sports fields at Rio Vista
School an important element in the fabric of this neighborhood. A more accessible sidewalk
network will provide an economical way to travel for lower-income families. Improvements to
the existing networks are projected to help low-income residents save on transportation costs,
such as vehicle maintenance and fuel, simply by walking or biking to their destinations.
Households tend to spend more on transportation in locations with poor accessibility and no
alternatives to driving. By improving accessibility and providing more transportation choices,
families drive less, thereby saving money. The project will allow the area’s families to walk and
bike to places that were previously only accessible by car. This will decrease their fuel
consumption and increase their physical activity while, subsequently, lowering vehicle
emissions.
REGIONAL CONNECTIONS
Exhibit 1 shows the proposed project location in relationship to the existing regional bicycle and
pedestrian network. The Regional Mojave Riverwalk Project is a multi-jurisdictional active
transportation and recreational trail asset for the region, and is inclu ded in the 2013 San
Bernardino County Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP). The proposed project will
provide connections to both the Apple Valley and the Victorville sides of the Mojave Riverwalk
Project. Going west towards Victorville, the new Yucca Loma Bridge over the Mojave River
includes Class I facilities that will connect to Victorville’s Mojave Riverwalk to the City’s
bike/ped network. Going east from the proposed project site, Yucca Loma Road includes a Class
Town of Apple Valley
TDA Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
13 | P a g e
I facility that connects to other Class I and II facilities throughout the City. It also provides a
connection to Apple Valley’s Riverwalk project.
Regional Destinations Served:
1. Regional Mojave Riverwalk Project. This riverwalk project lies on both sides of the
Mojave River. The western side is in Victorville, the eastern side in Apple Valley. The
Victorville side is four miles long, extending from Mojave Narrows Regional Park to Park
Road. It is expected to be completed this Summer (2019). The southern portion of the
Apple Valley side is complete; It expands 2.75 miles south of Bear Valley Road to Poppy
Road. Completing the northern portion from Bear Valley Road to Yucca Loma Road is
the next phase that will be completed when funding is secured. Both sides consist of a
paved concrete trail that follows along the Mojave River’s eastern and western flank
and will soon connect to Yucca Loma Road, at the proposed project site. Riverwalk
facilities include trailheads, benches, interpretive signage, and other practical amenities
such as trash receptacles.
2. Mojave Narrows Regional Park. The park is approximately 1.5 miles from the
project area on the west side of the Mojave River and is currently accessible by the
pedestrian and bike lanes on Yucca Loma Road and the new Yucca Loma Bridge. When
the Mojave Riverwalk is completed, it will provide a direct connection to this park using
a Class I bicycle facility. The park is approximately 840 acres of open space and includes
numerous trails for hiking and biking, fishing at two different lakes, several picnic areas,
a water park, camping, boating, and more. The proposed sidewalk gap closure will allow
residents in this neighborhood to walk or bike directly to the park without having to
share the roadway with motorists. This park features one of the most scenic portions of
the Mojave River and lush wildlife habitat in the desert.
3. Victorville Valley College. When the Mojave Riverwalk project is complete, Apple
Valley residents living in the proposed project area will have a smooth two-mile walk or
bike ride to Victor Valley College. The college provides nearly 40 major courses of study
to over 11,500 students. It has more than 14 feeder high schools and diploma-granting
institutions and serves a population base of nearly 400,000 people.
4. Access to Active Transportation Facilities. The project will close a sidewalk gap (on
Havasu Road) leading to Yucca Loma Road, which is the gateway to local acti ve
transportation facilities from this neighborhood. Via Yucca Loma Road, local residents
have access to 10.8 miles of Class I, and 22.2 miles of Class II facilities. In addition to the
Mojave Riverwalk project in Victorville, residents will also be able to access the Mojave
Riverwalk South in Apple Valley via Yucca Loma Road by traveling three miles on Class I
bike paths (via Yucca Loma Road, Apple Valley Road, and Bear Valley Road). Mojave
Riverwalk South is a three-mile long, 12-foot wide concrete multi-use trail that runs
along the east bank of the Mojave River. At full build-out, Mojave Riverwalk will stretch
north to Yucca Loma Bridge, less than one-half mile from the project area, and will be an
Town of Apple Valley
TDA Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
14 | P a g e
eight-mile trail connecting destinations in Apple Valley and Victorville. Please see Exhibit
1 for this planned Apple Valley Riverwalk connection.
5. Access to the City of Victorville. The new Yucca Loma Bridge (over the Mojave River)
now connects local residents to the City of Victorville (population 121,096), which is
nearly twice the size of Apple Valley. The proposed sidewalk gap closure on Havasu
Road will increase access to this City which was previously only accessible by a
motorized vehicle. Destinations in Victorville include Victor Valley Coll ege, jobs,
shopping, hotels, community resource centers, health care facilities, parks and
recreation. Upon completion of Victorville’s Phase II project (see Exhibit 1), the
proposed project will provide a connection to Victor Valley Transportation Center on D
Street in Victorville. This intermodal transit center is served by Amtrack, Greyhound,
Victor Valley Transit Authority, and military shuttles to Fort Irwin. It also serves as a Park
& Ride facility for carpooling commuters.
LOCAL CONNECTIONS
The proposed project will connect the neighborhood north and south of Yucca Loma Road by
closing a sidewalk gap and providing bicycle connections to Rio Vista School. Yucca Loma Road
is a gateway for local residents to multimodal opportunities. Yucca Loma Road has Class I bike
lanes that connect to a network of 30 miles of bike lanes, which then offer connections to bus
stops for the fixed route bus service offered by the Victor Valley Transit Authority.
Local Destinations Served:
1. Rio Vista School of Applied Learning (K-8) –
Serving 1,063 students. The school is the
primary education destination that will be
served by the project. School officials state
that the addition of sidewalks in the vicinity
of the school will likely increase the rate of
walking and biking to school. The recent
completion of pedestrian and bicycle
improvements on Yucca Loma Road
(including a Class I bike path and a new
signalized intersection at Havasu Road) is
leading the way to improving opportunities
for students and families to walk and bike to
school.
Key Issues Reported by Parents. 170 parents
of Rio Vista School of Applied Learning
students responded to the Survey about
Walking and Biking to School for Parents.
“There is not even a dirt
sidewalk to push the stroller-
wagon along the busy road in
the morning when I walk my
first grade grandson to school.
Pushing the stragon
(stroller/wagon) on the side of
the street is not safe, pushing it
on someone’s lawn and
driveway is a pain. I am a 67
year old taking my grandson to
school every morning .90 mile
one way.”

15 | P a g e
When asked about how their children travel to school, results show that show 54%
of students travel by family vehicle; 33% take the bus; 14% walk; and 1% ride a bike.
Two key issues were reported by parents that could be solved with the
implementation of the proposed project. 61% of parents reported concern of safety
at intersections and crossings; and 55% of parents reported concern about a lack of
sidewalks or pathways. The proposed project includes two crosswalk improvements,
new ADA curb ramps at 18 corners, and a total of 4,881 feet (or .94 miles) of
sidewalks/multi-use paths.
Forecasted Use. Parents’ survey results say 15% of students at Rio Vista School walk
or bike to school. That is approximately
160 students. The Safe Routes to School
National Partnership studied 801
schools to evaluate the increase of
students walking and biking to school
after improvements were made; when
education, encouragement, and
infrastructure improvements are made,
a school can expect to see an increase
in walking and biking of up to 43%. This
would increase the total number of
students at Rio Vista School that walk or bike from 160 to 229, or 21.5% of the
student population.
2. Playgrounds and Sports Fields at Rio Vista. Local residents will also have increased
accessibility to walk or bike ride to the playground and sports field at the school. Rio
Vista School property includes sports fields that are heavily utilized by after-school and
sports organizations outside of school hours such as soccer, baseball, and basketball.
3. Other Destinations Including:
• Bus transportation stops less than one mile away (transportation and
connectivity illustrated in Exhibit 1);
• Local shopping accessible via Class I bike paths including a shopping area less
than one mile away; and larger opportunities (Jess Ranch Market Place and
Apple Valley Towne Center) just 2.5 miles away;
• Community amenities along Yucca Loma Road, such as Yucca Loma Park (3 miles
away), Apple Valley Skate Park (3.5 miles away), and James Woody Community
Center and Park (3.75 miles away)
• Multiple churches (Sonlife Community Church, Krishna Valley Temple, Sacred
Heart Roman Catholic Church, Korean Community Ch urch, Jabez Foundation
Ministries, etc.); and
• Numerous residential neighborhoods.

VICTOR VALLEY BICYCLE TOUR
Victor Valley Bicycle Tour is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of safe
bicycling in the Victor Valley region and to promote cycling as a healthy lifestyle for both
recreation and transportation. Every year they host a bike ride with distance options ranging
from 10 to 70 miles. This organization supports the Town of Apple Valley’s Connector Project
and has offered to donate signage along Riverside Drive, designating the route as a scenic
bikeway, as it has views of the Mojave River, historic homes, ranches, and a peach farm. This
will be the Town of Apple Valley’s first designated scenic bikeway.
Exhibit 11: Long Scenic views from Riverside Drive
INTERMODAL CONNECTIVITY
Victor Valley Transit Authority operates bus route 42 along Apple Valley Road. The proposed
Connector Project will provide people with access to Yucca Loma Road. It is an easy 0.5 mile
walk or bike ride along a Class I facility on Yucca Loma Road to the Apple Valley Road route 42
bus stop. Without the proposed improvements, that bicycle and pedestrian connection is not
available.
Victor Valley Transportation Center is located on D Street in Victorville. This intermodal transit
center is served by Amtrack, Greyhound, Victor Valley Transit Authority, and military shuttles to

Fort Irwin. It also serves as a Park & Ride facility for carpooling commuters. The proposed
project will provide a connection to existing bicycle facilities that connect to the Transport ation
Center.
CURRENT TRAFFIC & WALK/BIKE COUNTS
Traffic counts near the proposed project site were conducted on Apple Valley Road at Yucca
Loma Road (NB & SB) and on Yucca Loma Road at Apple Valley Road (NB & SB). These counts
were taken in 2010. The results are illustrated in Exhibit 12.
Exhibit 12: Nearby Traffic Counts, 2010

Enhancing the sidewalk network is critical for encouraging and enabling local residents to
access multimodal opportunities. Bicycle and walking trips account for less than one percent
(0.05% and 0.8%, respectively) of commute trips in Apple Valley. The Town has the second
lowest percentage of bicycle commuters in San Bernardino County, and a “Car Dependent”
Walk Score of 11 (out of a high of 100) (Walkscore.com). The zip code area of Rio Vista School
has an even lower Walk Score of zero (0), meaning that almost all trips are taken by car. The
enhancement of the local sidewalk network will provide opportunities to walk and bike to
school as well as to the destinations previously mentioned.
SAFETY
The project will improve the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists in four ways:
1) Segregate pedestrians and bicyclists from motorists. Currently, there are limited
sidewalks in the project area. Closing the sidewalk gaps will eliminate the inherent risks
of sharing roadway space. According to the Safe Routes to School National Partnership,
pedestrians are two times less likely to be struck by a vehicle in locations with sidewalks.
The proposed Connector Project includes .94 miles of separated facilities for bicyclists
and pedestrians.
2) Recognize a space for bicyclists in the roadway. Currently, there are no roadway
markings or signage to designate the proposed Class III facilities as priority roadways for
bicyclists. Signage and roadway markings will remind drivers to look for bicyclists. This
will also let bicyclists know that these specific roads are the preferred corridor.
3) Add High-Visibility Crosswalks. The proposed project will add high-visibility sidewalk
crosswalks at two intersections near the sidewalk gap closures. The high-visibility
crosswalks will improve safety by: a) warning motorists to expect pedestrian and
bicyclist crossings, and b) indicating the preferred crossing locations for pedestrians and
bicyclists.
4) Provide a parallel bicycling facility. The proposed Class III bicycle facilities north of Yucca
Loma Road provide a safe alternative to bicycling on Apple Valley Road. Riverside Drive
and Havasu Road are low-vehicle volume roads that run parallel to busy Apple Valley
Road. This gives bicyclists who may be unsure about bicycling on Apple Valley Road an
alternative that runs parallel to Apple Valley Road, and therefore following the same
general direction. Seneca Road provides the connection from Apple Valley Road to
Riverside Drive and Havasu Road, and is also a parallel facility to Yucca Loma Road.
SBCTA’S NON-MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION PLAN
The project components located north of Yucca Loma Road are bicycle facilities that are
included in SBCTA’s Non-Motorized Transportation Plan. The plan calls for Class III bicycle
facilities along Seneca Road, Havasu Road, Riverside Drive, and Symeron Road; this is the same
scope of work proposed as part of the Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project. Please see
Exhibit 13 on the next page for the Class III bicycle facilities references in the NMTP.

TIMELINE
The proposed bike/ped project is a simple and straightforward project. Design is underway and
will be completed by July, 2019. The project will be completed by Summer 2020.
Design and Permitting: The project south of Yucca Loma Road is currently in design as part of a
three-school Safe Routes to School project. The design work is being completed by David Evans
and Associates, Inc. 100% plans for the entire project are expected to be completed July, 2019.
Environmental Clearance: The Town filed a Notice of Exemption to CEQA (Categorical
Exemption) on June 28, 2017. This will be updated to reflect all project components. The Town
anticipates a NOE for all project components.
Existing Infrastructure: The proposed sidewalks and Class III bicycle facilities will be
constructed in the public right-of-way next to existing curb and gutter where applicable,
eliminating the costs and effort relating to these elements.
SUCCESSFUL PROJECT COMPLETIONS
The Town of Apple Valley has a history of delivering grant-funded projects on-time and within
budget, and has experience successfully managing all type of projects including small projects
and large, complex, multi-jurisdictional projects.
Three recent SBCTA projects that were successfully completed include:
1) San Bernardino Associated Governments' Transportation Development Act (TDA)
Grant ($386,370) for the Bear Valley Class I Bike Path Project. The project was
completed in February 2017.
2) San Bernardino Associated Governments' Transportation Development Act (TDA)
Grant ($280,000) for the Ramona Road Widening Project. The project was completed
in October 2016.
3) San Bernardino Associated Governments’ Transportation Development Act (TDA)
Grant ($37,450) for three miles of Class I bicycle facilities on Yucca Loma Road and
Apple Valley Road. The project completed in May 2019.
In addition, the Town successfully completed two large Active Transportation Program (ATP)
grants from the California Department of Transportation including a $1M project that
constructed the Class I bike lanes and pedestrian improvements o n Yucca Loma Road (adjacent
to the proposed project area), and a $1M project to construct the first phase of the Mojave
Riverwalk, a Class I multi-use trail along the Mojave River. Apple Valley was also the lead
agency (working with San Bernardino County and the City of Victorville) on the new $17M
Yucca Loma Bridge (completed in 2016), which spans the Mojave River and provides a new
east-west corridor in the Victor Valley.

RE: Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project
Dear Mr. Lee:
SUPERINTENDENT
Thomas E. Hoegerman
On behalf of the Apple Valley Unified School District, I am writing to express our support for the To wn of Apple
Valley's efforts to implement the Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project. This will include sidewalks along Havasu
Road and Cronese Lane; these improvements are top priorities for our community and will provide pedestrian access
directly to Rio Vista School of Applied Leaming.
In 2016, Rio Vista School of Applied Leaming conducted a National Safe Routes to School survey with Rio Vista
parents. The survey results show 'safety concerns' as the key reason why more students were not allowed to walk or
bike to school. Parents specifically noted the lack of sidewalks or pathways in neighborhoods around the school as a
'safety concern' along with traffic speed and volume.
Rio Vista School of Applied Leaming is located on Havasu Road, which currently has gaps in its sidewalk network.
Although this street connects the surrounding residential neighborhood where students live, many parents choose to
drive their children to school, so they do not have to walk in the road's shoulder. As a result of the conditions, we are
missing a significant opportunity for active transportation which has both health and scholastic performance benefits for
our students. We know that physical activity during the day can help many students with tasks demanding concentration.
Any efforts to encourage walking and biking to school are welcome in the District, and I hope you will give your
favorable consideration to this important project. If you have any questions, please contact me at

Dear Mr. Robertson:
K�A
I am pleased to express our firm's support of the Town of Apple Valley's application for
the TDA Article 3 grant to fund the Rio Vista School Sidewalk Gap Closure Project. We
understand that the proposed project will enhance the safety of school-aged children
going to and coming from school. We anticipate that the improvements also will benefit
other pedestrians, motorists, and the community at large.
Community members have expressed their concern about the lack of pedestrian
infrastructure for school-children. The project that includes new sidewalks, crosswalks,
and upgrades to conform to Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines is anticipated to
improve overall pedestrian safety.
On behalf of my firm, I fully support the efforts of the Town of Apple Valley in seeking
funding from the TDA Article 3 grant. If you have any questions regarding my support,
please feel free to contract me by email at wokitsu@koacorp.com or phone at (323)

Subject: Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project
Dear Mr. Lee:
On behalf of St. Mary Medical Center, I am writing to express our support for the
Town of Apple Valley's efforts to implement the Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project. This will include sidewalks along Havasu Road and Cronese Lane; these
improvements are top priorities for our community and will provide pedestrian access directly to Rio Vista Elementary School. The Improvements will also Include Class III bike lanes connecting the Desert Knolls neighborhood to the
Yucca Loma Bridge and Mojave Narrows Regional Park.
In 2016, Rio Vista Elementary School condu cted a Natlonal Safe Routes to School survey with Rio Vista parents. The survey identified 'safety concerns' as the key reason why more students were not allowed to walk or bike to school.
Parents specifically noted the lack of sidewalks or pathways in neighborhoods
around the school as a 'safety concern' along with traffic speed and volume.
Residents provide similar feedback to the hospital citing walkability as barriers to neighborhood fitness campaigns targeting student and parent health including
obesity and pre-diabetes.
Rio Vista Eleme ntary School is located on Havasu Road, which currently has gaps in its sidewalk network. Although this street connects the surrounding residential
neighborhood where students live, many parents choose to drive their children to school, so they do not have to walk in the road's shoulder.

RE: Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project
Dear Mr. Lee:
Health Officer
I am writing in support of the application submitted by the Town of Apple Valley for grant funding
through the Transportation Development Act's Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities funding
opportunity. We strongly encourage physical activity through our Countywide Vision and Vision2BActive,
and we support projects that help make outdoor recreational activities safer and more attractive to our
residents. The Town of Apple Valley is proposing 6' -10' sidewalks along Havasu Road, Cronese Lane, and
Cochise Road. This project will connect to the existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities on Apple Valley
Road and Yucca Loma Road and therefore extending the existing bike/ped network in Apple Valley.
Both youth and adults within the county are not receiving the recommended amount of daily physical
activity. The Town of Apple Valley faces its own health challenges, with one of the highest rates of heart
disease in the county. increasing physical activity is a successful strategy to combat heart disease; the
proposed project will provide safer spaces for residents to be more physically active through walking to
key destinations and for pleasure in their neighborhoods.
I am happy to lend my department's support to these projects to help improve the opportunities for
healthy, active lifestyles. We encourage more residents to engage in physical activity, and applaud our
communities for seeking every opportunity to provide safer active transportation options for their
residents.
If you have any questions, please contact me at Trudy.Raymundo@dph.sbcounty.gov.

RE: Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project
Dear Mr. Lee: ROBERT A. LOVINGOOD SUPERVISOR, FIRST DISTRICT
As First District Supervisor for San Bernardino County, I am writing to express my support for the Town
of Apple Valley's efforts to implement the Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project. This project will
connect residents to recreational and educational opportuni ties while providing a sustainable
transportation option and connections to public transportation.
The proposed project will provide dedicated bicycle and pedestrian facilities that will connect residents to
Yucca Loma Road. This connection to Yucca Loma Road is important, as Yucca Loma Road has
protected facilities connecting residents directly to Mojave Narrows Regional Park. The park is a popular
recreational amenity that offers fishing, camping, picnic facilities, a playground, splash pad, walking
trails, equestrian trails, and disk gol[ With the funding of this project, residents will have designated
bicycle and pedestrian facilities providing a short 1.5 mile bike ride or walk to this park.
The proposed project also includes filling sidewalk gaps allowing children to walk to Rio Vista School
safely. The sidewalk gaps are identified in Apple Valley's Safe Routes to School Plan. According to the
Safe Routes to School National Partnership, pedestrians are two times less likely to be struck by a vehicle
in locations with sidewalks. The proposed Connector Project includes .94 miles of separated facilities for
bicyclists and pedestrians.
I support the Town of Apple Valley's efforts to provide bicycle and pedestrian facilities to connect
residents to parks and schools. Thank you for your favorable consideration of this important project. Sincere11/ '/�l (-/✓� ROBeR J\. L?��D

RE: Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project
Dear Mr. Lee:
Victor Valley Bike Tour (VVBT) would like to express our support for the Town of Apple Valley's efforts to
implement the Apple Valley Bike/Ped Connector Project. Our mission is to raise awareness of safe bicycling in
our communities and to promote cycling as a healthy lifestyle for both recreation and transportation. This
project compliments our mission by providing dedicated bicycle and pedestrian facilities connecting residents
to recreational and educational opportunities.
VVBT is spearheaded by three local municipalities (Town of Apple Valley, City of Hesperia, and City of
Victorville) with additional assistance from residents and community members. We host an annual bike ride
with four distance options ranging from a 10-mile ride to a 70-mile ride. Three of our rides are routed along
the proposed Class Ill bicycle facilities on Riverside Drive. This is a beautiful, scenic route with views of the
Mojave River, historic homes, ranches, and farms.
If the proposed Connector Project is funded, VVBT would like to show our support by donating signs along
Riverside Drive, designating it as a scenic bikeway. This will be Apple Valley's first scenic bikeway. We look
forward to promoting the Connector Project as priority bicycle and pedestrian transportation and recreation
corridors.
On behalf of the VVBT Board Members, thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please
contact me at (760) 553-5047. �/44 Thurston "Smitty" Smith
