Art3_Fontana_FY25_BikePed_RandallPepper_AppTDA3 Bike Ped Application Project Title: Randall Pepper (O’Day Short) Elementary SRTS Sidewalk Gap Closure Submitted Time: August 6, 2025 5:00 PM Section A: Project Description (5 points total) 1.Project Title: Randall Pepper (O’Day Short) Elementary SRTS Sidewalk Gap Closure 2.Project Cost Preconstruction (including right-of-way): 135,317.48 Construction: 498,342.93 Total Project Cost: 633,660.41 3.Applicant Information Agency: City of Fontana Contact Name: Jeffrey Kim Contact Email: jkim@fontanaca.gov Contact Phone: 909-350-6724 4.Priority if Submitting Multiple Applications: 1 5.Project Category: "Small" ($250,000 or less) - $2,689,650 available 6.Clear Project Scope of Work The City of Fontana will install new sidewalks, ADA curb ramps and ADA driveways that will close existing gaps along the north side of Filbert St. and the east side of Lemon St. as “suggested routes” for students attending at least 3 different schools, Randall Pepper (O’Day Short) Elem., Citrus Elem. and Fontana High School. Randall Pepper is now O’Day Short Elementary as of Aug. 5, 2025. 7.Which type of project is being proposed? Pedestrian Improvement, Safe Routes to School 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: Sidewalk Path: 4TH ST Point of Interest: School: 10. Optional: Enter any comments you wish to add. In early 2025, the City completed the ATP Fontana SRTS Gap Closure Project that installed missing sidewalk, ADA curb ramps, high-visibility crosswalks, lighting and Class II & III bikeways near four public schools. The proposed project will complement the newly installed improvements. Section B: Project Need & Purpose (30 points total) 11.A. List the destinations served. (5 points) The sidewalk proposed will make active transportation feasible, enhance safety and convenience for students and residents traveling to and from their respective schools (Exhibit D). Schools. As a SRTS Project, the proposed project will create designated pedestrian routes to at least 2 schools, Randall Pepper Elem. School and Fontana High School. Randall Pepper Elem. is County ranked #7 and City Ranked #3 and Fontana High is County Ranked #39 and City Ranked #9 in the priority list (Exhibit B1, B2, F). Parks. As shown on Exhibit B1, B2, G & H, the project location is within SBCTA’S POI Pedestrian Plan which includes the Jack Bulik Park as County Ranked #73 and City Ranked #4. Government Properties. Fontana Unified School District (USD) Office, Fontana USD Facilities, Maintenance & Operations and Transportation Site, and Fontana Unified School Police Department are all within a mile radius adjacent to a continuous bicycle path from the proposed project (Exhibit B2, D). 11.B. Upload a map showing destinations served. 12. Provide data to support future use of the proposed project. (5 points) Per “(Safe Routes Partnership)”, we can assume that an increase of an average of 18% of school aged children will walk to school with new infrastructure improvements. This will generate roughly 538 more users. Per “Census,2023”, the population increased from 6,021 to 6,123 in 2023. Per “CalEnviroScreen Data”, this area has an 80% CalEnviroScreen Percentile indicating the census tract experiences a greater burden of pollution and vulnerabilities. Per “Randall Pepper Elem. 2023-24 SARC”, there were 480 students and 93.50% were socioeconomically disadvantaged, 16% with disabilities & 1.70% homeless, 94.40% Hispanic, 3.30% Black, 1.90% White, and 0.40% mix race. Per “Fontana High 2023-24 SARC”, there were 2,455 students and 95.30% of were socioeconomically disadvantaged, 12.70% with disabilities and 0.50% homeless, 95.20% Hispanic, 1.80% Black, 1.70% White, 0.60% Asian, 0.20 Filipino, 0.10% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 0.40% mix race. 13. Enter "City Rank" according to SBCTA's Active Transportation Prioritization. (5 points) 3 See Attachment A Autofill score to be verified by SBCTA staff: 3 14.A. Describe how the project will improve student, cyclists, and/or pedestrian safety. (5 points) The City has received repeated emails from residents urging the closure of the sidewalk gaps within the proposed project area. They expressed concerns that the absence of sidewalks prevents students, or those with mobility challenges, from safely walking to and from the schools. Due to the sidewalk gap, pedestrians must walk in the street or cross the street to get to the existing sidewalk. To minimize the potential for future pedestrian collisions, closing the sidewalk gaps at the proposed project locations will provide a designated path of travel for students and residents rather than sharing the roadway with vehicular traffic. From the “TIMS - Transportation Injury Mapping System”, a 5- year (2020-2024) collision data (Exhibit I) report was retrieved. The exhibit shows a few pedestrian collisions surrounding the proposed project areas. The availability of accessible sidewalk pathways around schools and parks could possibility be why there are very few accidents. 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) The proposed project will provide a continuous and accessible connection to OMNI Transit services through sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Pedestrians will be able to reach two different bus routes from multiple directions (Exhibit D&E). Omnitrans Rte 82: travels through the Cities of Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario & Fontana. Omnitrans Rte 61: travels through the Cities of Fontana, Ontario & Pomona. Transit/Transfer Centers (TC): Pomona TC, Ontario Mills Mall, South Fontana TC & Fontana Metrolink TC 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 proposed project is in preliminary design phase. Exhibit K provides a schedule to complete the project. A Notice of Exemption will be filed for CEQA and a WQMP is not warranted. Residents have reached out to the city regarding sidewalk gaps within the project area and the City has prioritized their concerns. Moreover, the proposed project will close all the missing sidewalk gaps within a 1/4 mile radius of the indicated and recognized SBCTA Portal (SRTS) & SBCTA CATP (2025) (Exhibit B1&F). 18. Has the agency delivered past projects on schedule as originally scoped? (5 points) The City of Fontana has been successful in the delivery of past TDA grants received. TDA grants received in 2021 were completed within a year before the deadline. TDA grants received in 2023 are scheduled to finish within a year before the deadline. The City has assembled a project team of highly qualified Project Managers that can manage, facilitate, and deliver a successful project. The same process and method will be used for this project. 19. What provisions does the agency have in place to ensure the facility will be properly maintained? (5 points) City of Fontana’s Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of the City’s streets and sidewalks. The City also monitors the City’s “Fontana 311” online application increasing response times to concerns and requests.
