5. Project Category: "Large" (over $250,000) - $2,689,650 available
6. Clear Project Scope of Work
The project will replace 2.5 miles of deteriorated sidewalks (4–5 feet wide) and
upgrade or replace 28 curb ramps across the City. Many are not ADA-compliant
due to age, design limitations, and ground shifting. The project will enhance
accessibility, improve pedestrian safety, and bring vital infrastructure into
compliance with ADA standards.

Section B: Project Need & Purpose (30 points total)
11.A. List the destinations served. (5 points)
The sidewalk and ramp replacements proposed in this application are located
at strategic sites throughout the City of Redlands. Upon completion, the project
will enhance safe, ADA-compliant pedestrian connectivity citywide. It will
improve access to key destinations, including retail centers, restaurants, and
entertainment venues in Downtown Redlands, as well as trails, schools, and
multiple public transit (bus) stops. Specifically, the new infrastructure will
provide continuous, unobstructed pedestrian access to important community
assets such as the Redlands Civic Center, U.S. Postal Service, Redlands
Community Hospital, Downtown Redlands, Redlands Public Market, the Packing
House District, University of Redlands, Mariposa Elementary School, the ESRI
Campus, and Arrow rail stations. Additionally, the project will strengthen non-
motorized transportation connectivity to adjacent neighborhoods and
communities by linking with previously completed active transportation
infrastructure.
11.B. Upload a map showing destinations served.
12. Provide data to support future use of the proposed project. (5 points)
The City of Redlands is committed to advancing non-motorized transportation.
Many residents rely on walking or other non-motorized methods for daily
travel, but their safety and efficiency are hindered by poor sidewalk connectivity
and non-ADA-compliant curb ramps. Much of the City’s pedestrian
infrastructure falls short of current ADA standards due to limited funding for
maintenance and replacement. On September 1, 2015, the City Council
adopted a Sidewalk Repair Matrix prioritizing repairs based on usage and
condition. The sidewalks proposed in this application are part of the 13 miles
initially identified through this process. However, as the matrix is now a decade
old, the list of deficient sidewalks has expanded. The segments selected for this
project serve areas with high pedestrian volumes near schools, bus routes, and
downtown. Redlands has a population of 73,849, a median age of 38, and a
median household income of $94,473. (Census 2023)

14.A. Describe how the project will improve student, cyclists, and/or pedestrian
safety. (5 points)
The City of Redlands has an active biking and pedestrian community, with many
residents relying on trails and sidewalks for daily travel. Walking is a primary
mode for many, but deteriorating sidewalks and missing ADA-compliant curb
See Attachment A
ramps disrupt mobility. Pedestrians often detour onto private property or the
street, risking safety. This project will restore safe, continuous, ADA-accessible
sidewalks and ramps, improving safety and comfort for all users. It benefits
students, cyclists, and individuals with mobility challenges by reducing
exposure to traffic and encouraging non-motorized travel in busy areas like
schools and transit stops. Since incidents on sidewalks are underreported, this
project addresses important but unseen safety risks.
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)
In 2008, Redlands adopted Resolution No. 6696, declaring itself a “green city”
committed to sustainable policies. This project replaces 60,000 sq ft of ADA-
compliant sidewalks and adds 28 curb ramps, improving walking and biking
infrastructure. It links neighborhoods to transit, including bus stops and
Redlands Passenger Rail, making it safer and easier to access public
transportation, encouraging transit use, and reducing vehicle reliance.
16. Attach other supporting documentation in a single .pdf. (5 points)
Sectoin C: Project Schedule/Readiness (15 points total)
17. Describe project readiness. (5 points)
The project is partially designed, with full plans completed 6 months after grant
award. It is Categorically Exempt under CEQA, replacing existing sidewalks with
no expansion. No permits or right-of-way acquisitions are needed. Construction
is expected to start 9 months after grant is awarded. Resident concerns about
sidewalk damage, combined with the data-driven Sidewalk Repair Matrix
adopted in 2015, have guided the prioritization of repairs based on critical
need.

18. Has the agency delivered past projects on schedule as originally scoped? (5
points)
Redlands has a strong record of completing grant-funded projects on time and
within budget. A team of engineers, a project manager, and inspectors ensures
timely delivery using project management tools. The City has successfully
completed several TDA-funded projects, including but not limited to TDA 2013
Orange Blossom Trail Phase 3 and the TDA 2021 Transit Stop Improvements
Project, demonstrating its capacity to manage infrastructure improvements
while meeting state and local requirements.
19. What provisions does the agency have in place to ensure the facility will be
properly maintained? (5 points)
To ensure long-term durability, the City will remove tree roots and other
subsurface obstructions before sidewalk replacement. The Facilities and
Community Services Department will conduct regular inspections and
maintenance to extend sidewalk life, reduce hazards, and protect the
investment.
