Section B: Project Need & Purpose (30 points total)
11.A. List the destinations served. (5 points)
Blake and Kerry Destinations Served-the following locations are within one (1)
mile adjacent to a contiguous pedestrian facility: • Muscoy Elementary
School • Inland Empire Job Corps • SIA Tech • Delman Heights Park •
Jimmie’s Market • Macy’s Mini Mart
11.B. Upload a map showing destinations served.
12. Provide data to support future use of the proposed project. (5 points)
The proposed pedestrian and bus stop improvements will enhance safety and
mobility for approximately 11,400 residents (2023 ACS), including students
accessing Muscoy and Joshua Tree Elementary Schools and the Omnitrans bus
stop. Improvements include sidewalk, curb and gutter, driveways, ADA ramps,
and a bus stop boarding area on Blake Street. The area is 89% Hispanic or
Latino, with 35.5% foreign-born residents. There are 2,510 households with an
average size of 4–4.5 people. Median household income is $57,726, with a
poverty rate of 19.1%. A SWITRS query (2019–2024) reported 304 pedestrian-
related collisions in San Bernardino. FARS data (2015–2019) shows 2,016 mid-
block fatalities occurred where no crosswalk was present, compared to 294
where one existed. These improvements support community health and safety
and reduce reliance on car travel.

14.A. Describe how the project will improve student, cyclists, and/or pedestrian
safety. (5 points)
The proposed sidewalk project will enhance pedestrian safety along Blake
Street and surrounding routes to Muscoy Elementary School and the Omnitrans
bus stop. It aims to calm neighborhood traffic and improve mobility for
students and families traveling to and from Joshua Tree Elementary.
Improvements include sidewalk, curb and gutter, driveway approaches, 2 ADA
ramps, and a bus stop boarding area between North Macy and North State
Streets. A SWITRS query (2019–2024) reported 304 pedestrian-related collisions
in San Bernardino, underscoring the need for safer infrastructure. FARS data
(2015–2019) shows 2,016 mid-block fatalities occurred where no crosswalk was
present, compared to 294 where one existed. “Improper crossing” was the
leading cause of mid-block crashes, accounting for 21.3% of incidents. These
findings support the need for traffic calming and safe pedestrian crossings.
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)
With the close proximity of several key community destinations, the proposed
project improvements will provide enhanced connectivity to the Muscoy
Elementary School the Inland Empire Job Corps Center located
approximately .02 miles to the northeast, SIA Tech located approximately .03
miles to the northeast, Delman Heights Park located approximately 1.1 miles to
the southeast, Jimmie’s Market located approximately .03 miles to the
southwest and Macy’s Mini Mart located .06 miles to the southwest.

Sectoin C: Project Schedule/Readiness (15 points total)
17. Describe project readiness. (5 points)
The County will complete minimal design in-house if grant funding is awarded,
allowing construction to begin promptly. DPW actively addresses pedestrian
safety and road improvements. Input from MAC members, Supervisor staff,
engineers, and yard supervisors informs priorities. TDA funding will enhance
Muscoy’s pedestrian network, improving access to businesses, medical services,
and transit stops.
18. Has the agency delivered past projects on schedule as originally scoped? (5
points)
We received funding for 2 projects in the 2008 Call-for-Projects, for the
installation of transit stops. One project was for the Victor Valley Transit
Authority (VVTA). In the 2011 Call for Projects, we received $63,000 for the
design of the Orange Blossom Trail Class I Bike Path in Mentone. The 65%
design was accepted as a finished project. In 2016, the County received
$128,700 to reconstruct the Class I bike path in Trona, meeting project
timelines.
19. What provisions does the agency have in place to ensure the facility will be
properly maintained? (5 points)
San Bernardino County ensures long-term maintenance of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities through: dedicated maintenance by the Department of
Public Works; funding from General Fund, Gas Tax, and Measure I; preventive
maintenance programs; reporting systems; and interdepartmental
coordination.
