Art3_AppleValley_FY25_SidewalkRemediation_AppTDA3 Bike Ped Application Project Title: Apple Valley Road Sidewalk Remediation Project Submitted Time: August 6, 2025 4:43 PM Section A: Project Description (5 points total) 1. Project Title: Apple Valley Road Sidewalk Remediation Project 2. Project Cost Preconstruction (including right-of-way): 0 Construction: 95,000 Total Project Cost: 95,000 3. Applicant Information Agency: Town of Apple Valley Contact Name: Julie Ryan Contact Email: jryan@applevalley.org Contact Phone: 7602407000 4. Priority if Submitting Multiple Applications: 1 5. Project Category: Maintenance - $597,700 available 6. Clear Project Scope of Work Repair lifted and uneven sidewalk panels along Apple Valley Rd. from Yucca Loma Rd. to Poppy Rd., and Towne Center Dr. from Apple Valley Rd. to Jess Ranch Pkwy. Work includes grinding raised sections caused by tree roots, or soil movement, and replacing damaged panels. Improvements will restore a smooth, ADA-compliant walking surface, eliminating tripping hazards and improving pedestrian safety. 7. Which type of project is being proposed? Pedestrian Improvement 8. Unless you are applying to create a Plan (in which case, skip to Question 10), the proposed project MUST be included in SBCTA's Countywide Active Transportation Plan (CATP). Select the CATP project in the map that best represents the proposed project. 9. Verified project from CATP Bike Path: Apple Valley Rd Sidewalk Path: APPLE VALLEY RD Point of Interest: School: 10. Optional: Enter any comments you wish to add. This project supports SBCTA’s CATP by improving pedestrian safety and access to the Jess Ranch Marketplace, identified as a pedestrian point of interest in the CATP. It also enhances connectivity to the adjacent Class I bikeway and Class II bikeway, both of which are included in the CATP. Section B: Project Need & Purpose (30 points total) 11.A. List the destinations served. (5 points) Destinations served include Jess Ranch Marketplace, Victor Valley College, Cinemark Theatre, and 24 Hour Fitness—all reachable within ¼ mile of the project corridor via continuous pedestrian facilities. The corridor connects residential neighborhoods, senior living communities, and transit stops, supporting daily trips for shopping, education, recreation, and healthcare. Seniors at Jess Ranch depend on walkable access to maintain independence and reach essential services, while the thousands at Victor Valley College benefit from safe walking and biking routes. Nearby Class I and Class II bikeways, identified in SBCTA’s CATP, extend this network into a multimodal system for short, local trips. By enhancing safety and accessibility to these high demand locations, the project promotes active transportation, reduces dependence on motor vehicles, and improves mobility for all residents (SBCTA, 2024 RTP/SCS; Census, 2023). 11.B. Upload a map showing destinations served. 12. Provide data to support future use of the proposed project. (5 points) The project corridor serves approximately 50,000 residents in Apple Valley and surrounding areas, with a significant senior population concentrated in the Jess Ranch community—many rely on safe sidewalks for mobility and independence (Census, 2023). According to SCAG’s Connect SoCal 2024, the area is designated a Priority Equity Community, reflecting high concentrations of seniors (65+) and other vulnerable populations, making it a regional equity priority. The corridor also provides a vital pedestrian link to Victor Valley College, serving thousands of students and staff daily. With direct access to Jess Ranch Marketplace, dining, fitness, recreation, and transit, the project addresses both mobility and equity needs. SBCTA and SCAG growth projections show increasing pedestrian demand, underscoring the urgency for ADA‑compliant, hazard‑free sidewalks that improve safety, eliminate trip hazards, and enhance active transportation options (SBCTA, 2024 RTP/SCS; SCAG, 2023). 13. Enter "City Rank" according to SBCTA's Active Transportation Prioritization. (5 points) 0 See Attachment A Autofill score to be verified by SBCTA staff: 0 14.A. Describe how the project will improve student, cyclists, and/or pedestrian safety. (5 points) The project will significantly improve safety for students, cyclists, and pedestrians by removing tripping hazards and creating a continuous, predictable walking surface. Seniors in the Jess Ranch community will gain safer access to shops, services, and recreation, reducing the risk of injury from falls. Students traveling to Victor Valley College will benefit from routes that encourage walking and cycling, reducing conflicts with vehicle traffic. Cyclists will enjoy more predictable paths as pedestrians are no longer forced to navigate uneven surfaces. While sidewalk‑related fall data is limited because such incidents are underreported in collision databases, these hazards were identified as priority needs in the Town’s ADA Transition Plan. Addressing them will deliver ADA‑compliant surfaces, improve comfort and confidence for vulnerable users, encourage active transportation, and strengthen community connections (Census, 2023; SBCTA, 2024 RTP/SCS). 14.B. Upload 5-years' worth of the most recent collision data available from the UC Berkeley's Transportation Injury Mapping System. 15. Explain the multimodal or transit system connectivity provided by this project. (5 points) This project enhances multimodal connectivity by providing safe, ADA- compliant sidewalks within a quarter-mile walking distance of several transit stops along Apple Valley Rd., including those near Yucca Loma Rd., Towne Center Dr., and Jess Ranch Pkwy. It links to Class I and Class II bikeways, connecting Victor Valley College, Jess Ranch Marketplace, and nearby transit hubs, encouraging walking, biking, and transit use for daily commutes and errands. 16. Attach other supporting documentation in a single .pdf. (5 points) See Attachment B See Attachment C Sectoin C: Project Schedule/Readiness (15 points total) 17. Describe project readiness. (5 points) The project is shovel-ready and prioritized through local outreach and the Town’s ADA Transition Plan. No environmental review is required due to the minor nature of repairs. Work can be completed promptly using in-house staff or an on-call contractor specializing in sidewalk grinding and panel replacement. Community feedback, especially from seniors and students, underscores the urgency to improve safety and accessibility along Apple Valley Rd. 18. Has the agency delivered past projects on schedule as originally scoped? (5 points) The Town has successfully received and utilized TDA Article 3 maintenance funds, completing all related work on time. Several other TDA projects have been delivered on schedule, with others currently on track to finish within scope and budget. To maintain this record, the Town will implement a clear project plan, monitor progress regularly, and coordinate closely with contractors and stakeholders to ensure timely and quality completion. 19. What provisions does the agency have in place to ensure the facility will be properly maintained? (5 points) The Town ensures proper maintenance through its resident reporting app for timely issue reporting, regular infrastructure monitoring by public works staff, and dedicated budgeting for ongoing sidewalk repairs and upkeep to maintain safety and accessibility.
