Project Need & Project Description
Purpose Eligible Project Type: The proposed project includes the construction of bus stop
pads at two existing bus stop locations on Jurupa Avenue at Catawba Avenue
(westbound-far-side) and at Hemlock Avenue (westbound-far-side).
Project Need: These locations, as well as other bus stops throughout the City, were
identified in Omnitrans' accessibility survey (conducted in 2020)as needing
improvements to meet Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) requirements. At these
two bus stops, the curbs are separated from the sidewalks by strips of grass (see
attached photos -Attachment 1), thereby limiting access to and from the bus for
persons with disabilities. Minimum ADA requirements include a firm stable surface,
an area that is clear of obstructions and measures eight feet (perpendicular to the
curb) by five feet (parallel to the curb, connected to a pedestrian path or accessible
walkway), and a cross slope no greater than 2 percent. Modifications to these stops
are needed to meet these requirements.
Increased accessibility at these stops will allow more transit users to reach
destination points along this route which include Kaiser High School, Ontario Mills
Mall, Toyota Arena.
For 2020, Jurupa at Catawba had a combined average daily boarding and alighting
of 0.6 riders, and Jurupa at Hemlock had a combined average daily boarding and
alighting of 0.2 riders. This is lower than average boarding/alighting for 2018 for
these stops. At Jurupa at Catawba, daily boarding and alighting was 1.4 riders, and
for Jurupa at Hemlock it was 0.6 riders. This difference is attributable to the
economic shutdown and unanticipated, significant changes in work/school/shopping
outings from March 2020 through December 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The City expects that ridership numbers will be more in line with 2018 numbers in the
future as restrictions are lifted. In addition, by improving accessibility at these bus
stops, and others throughout Fontana, the City aims to attract more ridership to its
transit services.
Project Description: The City of Fontana is requesting$5,379 (detailed project
budget is attached—Attachment 2)to construct bus stop pads at the two existing
bus stop locations on Jurupa at Catawba (westbound-far-side) and at Hemlock
(westbound-far-side)_ The transit stun access improvements at these locations are
2/3
shown on the attached preliminary design exhibits (Attachment 3) and include:
Jurupa at Catawba -
1) Constructing a new 4-inch-thick Portland cement concrete (PCC)sidewalk
section between the existing curb and sidewalk, 34 feet parallel to the curb and 4
feet perpendicular to the curb; and 2) Modifying existing landscaping and irrigation.
The combined width of the replaced sidewalk and new PCC section connecting the
sidewalk to the curb is 10 feet.
Jurupa at Hemlock-
2) Constructing two new 4-inch-thick Portland cement concrete (PCC)sidewalk
sections between the existing curb and sidewalk, 16 feet parallel to the curb and 7
feet perpendicular to the curb, and 6 feet parallel to the curb and 7 feet
perpendicular to the curb. The combined width of the replaced sidewalk and new
PCC sections connecting the sidewalk to the curb is 12 feet.
The project will be completed in compliance with the City of Fontana Standard Plan,
applicable ADA Accessibility Guidelines, and Health and Safety Code (Sections
18901 to 18949.6 of the State Building Standards Law). Additionally, the City owns
the right-of-way at the project site, therefore, no easement is required. The project
schedule is included as Attachment 4. Project completion is estimated to be
September 2022.

Subject: Fontana - Transit Access Improvements – SBCTA Grant Funding for Bus Stop Pads
Dear Mr. Kim:
I write in support of your grant application submittals to the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA)
for funding under the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Call for Projects for Transit Stop Access Improvements.
Omnitrans fully supports the proposed construction of bus stop pads at existing bus stop locations along Omnitrans routes
that serve the City of Fontana, including the follow:
1. N. Cherry Avenue @ Live Oak Avenue (NB)
2. Foothill Boulevard @ Locust Avenue (EB)
3. Arrow Boulevard @ Oleander Avenue (EB)
4. Merrill Avenue @ Locust Avenue (WB)
5. Summit Avenue @ Falcon Ridge (WB)
6. Sierra Avenue @ Underwood Drive (NB)
7. Curtis Avenue @ Vanessa Way
8. Jurupa Avenue @ Pacific Avenue (WB)
9. Curtis Avenue @ Citrus Avenue (EB)
10. Jurupa Avenue @ Catawba Avenue (WB) and @ Hemlock Avenue (WB) (combined two stops)
These locations were identified in Omnitrans’ accessibility survey as needing improvements to meet Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. In addition to providing access for transit riders with disabilities, these
improvements will allow Omnitrans to add bus shelters and benches at the locations in the future.
Omnitrans is highly supportive of Fontana’s applications for funding of these needed access improvements. Please feel free
to contact me at (909) 379-7256 or anna.jaiswal@omnitrans.org if you need any additional information.

RE: Fontana ‐ Transit Access Improvements – SBCTA Grant Funding for Bus Stop Pads
Dear Ms. Jaiswal:
This letter is to inform you that the City of Fontana (City) is submitting grant applications
to the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) for funding under their
Transportation Development Act (TDA) Call for Projects for Transit Stop Access
Improvements. This program was developed in recognition of the importance of providing
safe and accessible paths of travel to existing and proposed bus stop locations. Projects
that improve access to transit stops for pedestrians and persons with disabilities are a
priority.
The City is proposing constructing bus stop pads (connecting curbs to sidewalks) at the
following 11 Omnitrans existing bus stop locations:
1. N. Cherry Avenue @ Live Oak Avenue (NB)
2. Foothill Boulevard @ Locust Avenue (EB)
3. Arrow Boulevard @ Oleander Avenue (EB)
4. Merrill Avenue @ Locust Avenue (WB)
5. Summit Avenue @ Falcon Ridge (WB)
6. Sierra Avenue @ Underwood Drive (NB)
7. Curtis Avenue @ Vanessa Way
8. Jurupa Avenue @ Pacific Avenue (WB)
9. Curtis Avenue @ Citrus Avenue (EB)
10. Jurupa Avenue @ Catawba Avenue (WB) and @ Hemlock Avenue (WB) (combined
two stops)
Improvements at each of these locations will meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements and provide easier access for transit users with disabilities to enter or exit the
buses. I am hopeful the City's applications will be funded for these necessary and important
transit access projects.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Kim, P.E.

These photos show the current conditions at OMNITRANS Route 82 –Jurupa @ Catawba (WB) bus stop. To improve access at this stop,a
concrete pad (34’ width by 4’ depth) will be constructed to connect the sidewalk to the curb. The combined depth of the existing
sidewalk and the new section will be 10’. See Exhibit 10 (Attachment 3) for a schematic of construction details.
