Narrative Question
RESPOND TO THE DRAFT ATP CRITERIA BY DESCRIBING BRIEFLY THE BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
RELATED TO INCREASING ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION MODE SHARE, SAFETY, PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, COST
EFFECTIVENESS, AND PUBLIC HEALTH.
(PLEASE NOTE THE QUESTIONS IN THE ATP CYCLE 2 APPLICATION FOR DESCRIPTION/EXPLANATION OF EACH
CRITERION – BULLET POINTS MAY BE USED TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS – ADDITIONAL MATERIAL MAY BE
ATTACHED, BUT IS NOT REQUIRED)
(0-30 POINTS)
1. Describe how your project will encourage increased bicycling and walking and generally improve the
ease of travel for non-motorized users
This project will encourage increased bicycling and walking by constructing Class I, III, and IV pathways
and appropriate signalization to complete the Orange Blossom Trail which connects the east and west
corridors of Redlands and provides access to neighboring cities. The entire stretch of Orange Blossom
Trail is ~7.5 miles in length and will promote and encourage the use of non-motorized transportation for
a variety of users.
2. Describe how the project creates or improves walking and/or bicycling routes and connectivity to
destinations, and how it removes barriers to walking and/or bicycling.
This segment will provide access to schools, transit facilities, community centers, employment centers,
parks, and neighborhoods. A key destination offered by the Orange Blossom Trail is downtown
Redlands, which is a very popular destination for the majority of Redlands residents as well as residents
of surrounding cities. By providing a network that connects residential areas to this myriad of
destinations, the City of Redlands is providing transportation options to all of its residents.
By providing this trail through the core of the City, residents are offered connections to life’s everyday
destinations and trips. This project removes barriers that previously existed through providing a viable
route through the City including safety which is currently a huge barrier to non-motorized connectivity.
This route is primarily Class I or Class IV lanes which is much safer and more inviting form the majority of
users.
3. Describe how the project reduces the number and/or rate of pedestrian and bicycle fatalities and
injuries.
Currently, because there is not existing infrastructure in place in the project area, cyclists choose either
to ride on unmarked streets, or choose not to ride at all. Thus, many cycling trips are made in a
potentially uncontrolled manner. More importantly, protected bike lanes create a physical separation
between vehicular traffic and pedestrian/bicycle traffic which will certainly reduce and potentially
eliminate vehicle related injuries or fatalities.
By providing a well-planned, properly designed trail facility, and clearly marked lanes throughout the
City, cyclists are given unprecedented opportunity to ride safely within the City.
4. Describe the community based public participation process that culminated in the project proposal.
In early 2013 and 2014 the City of Redlands began holding public meetings related to non-motorized
transportation needs within the City. This project has been identified by the community as a priority
project and has received much support.
As part of ATP Cycle 2, the City of Redlands will hold stakeholder meetings with San Bernardino
Associated Governments (SANBAG), San Bernardino County of Public Health, Inland Empire Biking
Alliance (IEBA), ESRI, the University of Redlands, and Redlands Unified School District. Two public
meetings will be held in the City of Redlands Council Chambers. Meetings will be noticed via Redlands
City website, local newspaper, and social media.
5. Describe the health issues in the project area and how the project will address each of them. Provide
local health data and sources, and collaborative efforts with health agencies where possible.
• The American Lung Association has ranked San Bernardino County at the top for most ozone
polluted counties in the nation. Prolonged exposure to poor air quality has resulted in
documented increase in premature deaths, asthma attacks, hospitalization, emergency room
visits, and missed school and work by San Bernardino county residents.
o The asthma hospitalization rate for all ages per 100,000 population for the City of
Redlands is 59.4, comparing with the state’s average of 94.0.
o The diabetes hospitalization rate for all ages per 100,000 population for the City of
Redlands is 171.0, comparing with the State’s average of 145.2.
o The percentage of students (5th, 7th and 9th Grades) who were overweight or obese for
City of Redlands is 30.8%, comparing with the State’s average of 38.0%.
o The number and age-adjusted rates per 100,000 population of coronary heart disease
admissions and hospitalizations for the City of Redland is 86.3, comparing with the
County’s average of 108.0.
• By providing safe and convenient alternatives to motorized travel, this project will help to
reduce vehicular emissions and to promote a healthy lifestyle through exercise, which will result
in reduced incidents of asthma, diabetes, obesity and heart disease amongst our citizens.
• Poor air quality in San Bernardino County
o The proposed project reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions through reduced vehicular
use, reduced vehicle idle time from traffic congestion.
• Obesity increasing amongst youth and adults in San Bernardino County
o The proposed project encourages the use of bicycling and walking as an alternative to
motorized travel.

The Redlands Blvd OBT Connector project anticipates recognizing a significant increase in non-motorized
commute trips. This segment will connect major employers, businesses, and a high school. During the public
outreach done in 2013 and 2014 the community identified this as a preferred bike route and is noted as such in
the City of Redlands Bicycle Master Plan.
