Art3_Redlands_FY21_Transit_CitrusJudson/FordWB#6996_App 1/2 TDA Article 3 Grant Application: Transit Stop Access Improvements Project Title Citrus @ Judson/Ford westbound#6996 Contact Name Veronica Medina Agency Redlands Contact Phone (909)798-7584 x6 Contact Email vmedina@cityofredlands.org Project Need & Project Description Purpose The purpose of this project is to upgrade the quality and accessibility of the Citrus Ave. and Judson/Ford St. westbound bus stop located in the City of Redlands. The project will remove the existing concrete sidewalk and replace it with an ADA- compliant landing area and sidewalk approach. These improvements would make the stop more accessible for disabled or elderly passengers, which may result in increased ridership. The stop serves Omnitrans Route 19, connecting Redlands with Fontana, Colton, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, and Yucaipa. This bus stop location is noted in Omnitrans' accessibility survey as needing ADA compliance improvements. The stop is located in a largely residential area with a combination of single-family home and large apartment complexes. Residential complexes adjacent to the stop include the Sylvan Mobile Estates, Staci Court Apartments, Pacific Pines, Citrus Arms, and the Redlands Oasis Apartments. Businesses directly adjacent to the stop include 7-Eleven, Redlands Lock and Keys, and various nail and beauty salons. Also within a '/z mile walk from the stop are Laramie Park and the Heritage Center shopping plaza, containing restaurants, salons, and a pharmacy. Moore Middle School is located 0.6 miles from the stop.

July 28, 2021 Ginger Koblasz, Senior Planner San Bernardino County Transportation Authority 1170 W. 3rd Street, 2nd Floor San Bernardino, CA 92410-1715 Subject: Omnitrans Support for City of Redlands Application 2021 TDA Article 3 Transit Stop Access Improvements Program Dear Ginger, I write in support of the City of Redlands’ grant applications for 2021 TDA Article 3 Transit Stop Access Improvement funds within the City of Redlands. The planned projects will improve the accessibility at ten bus stops by replacing landing areas and adjacent sidewalk approaches to become ADA accessible. These stops are located on Omnitrans Routes 8, 15, and 19, which connect Redlands to San Bernardino, Loma Linda, Grand Terrace, Yucaipa, Colton, Fontana, and Highland. The stops are serviced by a combined 178 buses and 39 passengers per day. The upgrades will increase the access and quality of transit service to destinations such as the University of Redlands, Redlands High School, Laramie Park, Arrowhead Family Health Center, Redlands Ranch Market, the Esri campus, and the Redlands Village Shopping Center. Routes 8 and 15 provide direct service to the San Bernardino Transit Center. Currently, one Omnitrans passenger within ½ mile from the Citrus Ave. and Grove St. stop is eligible for Access paratransit service due to current ADA accessibility issues at stops. These improvements would make the Omnitrans service more accessible for disabled or elderly passengers, which may result in increased ridership. Omnitrans is highly supportive of this project receiving TDA Article 3 grant funds.
