The grant funding breakdown is below: • Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program Fund-$353,081 Construction of Bicycle Path and Pedestrian Facilities (G7802) • Transit Stop Access Program Funds- $87,000 Sidewalk Retrofitting with Accessibility Ramps (G7803) The targeted area for the project was in the City's CDBG target area. The City of Chino's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (2016) was used to derive the area for the project. The streets chosen are near high traffic generators and attractors such as commercial areas, schools, community centers, churches, and medical offices. The project will provide facilities for the local community in need of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and public transportation. Active Generators and attractors outlined below: • Monte Vista Park • Central Park • Civic Center area • City of Chino Police Department • Walnut Elementary • Bread of Life Christian Church • Chino Transit Center • Ana Borba Elementary School • Chino Valley Adult School • 7th Community Theater • Chino Old Schoolhouse Museum • Allegiance Steam Academy School • Carolyn Owens Centennial Square • Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church • Chino Youth Museum • Chino Branch Library • Chino Valley Medical • Chino High School • Supermarkets 13220 Central Avenue,Chino,California 91710 Mailing Address: P.O.Box 667,Chino,California 91708-0667 (909)334-3250•(909)334-3720 Fax Web Site: www.cityofchino.org Ms. Koblasz Page 2 March 31, 2020 The Project consists of installing 4.3 miles of bicycle lanes and boulevards that will connect to various transit areas that will meet current Bicycle Standards per California MUTCD, and Caltrans Standards. These improvements will provide an unimpeded travel-way and continuous pathway to major attractors for all citizens. Another aspect of the project was to construct sidewalk retrofitting and construction of 53 access ramps to improve pedestrian access to various facilities. Once the design plans were under development and preliminary cost estimates were being and developed, it was evident that due to construction costs and right-of-way acquisition required to construct access ramps in the downtown residential neighborhoods, the project scope was too great and needed to be narrowed down to remain within the allocated project budget. Therefore, the following scope revisions to the project, designated in italics and bold, are being requested: Pedestrian Access Ramps: 1. Monte Vista Avenue from B street to C Street 2. B Street from Monte Vista Avenue to 4th Street 3. C Street from Monte Vista Avenue to 4th Street(eliminate) Bicycle Lanes and Boulevards: 1. B Street from Monte Vista to 7th Street 2. B Street from 9th Street to Benson Avenue 3. C Street form Monte Vista Avenue to Sequoia Avenue 4. 7th Street from B Street to C Street 5. 9th Street from B Street to C Street 6. Sequoia Avenue for C Street to Rosario Street 7. Rosario Street from C Street to Magnolia Avenue 8. Washington Avenue from Telephone Avenue to Benson Avenue 9. Park Place from Benson Avenue to 10th Street 10. Benson Avenue from Park Place to Tronkeel Avenue 11. 10 h Street from Walnut Avenue to Chino Avenue (Added) 12. 1Yh Street from B Street to Chino Avenue(Bike Lane) 13. Tronkeel Avenue from Benson Avenue to Oaks Avenue(Added) 14. Oaks Avenue from Tronkeel Avenue to Chino Ave (Added) Please verify that SBCTA is amenable to the change in scope above, and we will proceed with the final design plans accordingly. In addition, the City is requesting an extension of the funds due to the related property acquisition required for some of the ramps to be constructed, that do not fit within available public right-of-way.
