PROJECT NAME: Day Creek Channel Bike Trail from Jack Benny Dr. to Base line Rd.
PROJECT LOCATION MAP
DAY CREEK CHANNEL BIKE TRAIL FROM JACK BENNY DR. TO BASE LINE RD.
BRD1303a1-ss
2013Article3CallBicyclePed-teb
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
In an effort to increase bicycle and pedestrian access, improve safety, and encourage more
walking/bicycling, the proposed project includes construction of a 1.4 mile Class 1 Bike Trail
along the existing west side of Day Creek Channel providing direct walking and bicycling access
to the regional Pacific Electric Trail and the newly constructed and opened RC Sports Center .
The City has a long term agreement with San Bernardino County to use the Day Creek Channel
maintenance access roads as trails. This project aims to construct pedestrian/ bike trail on the
existing paved maintenance access road along the west side of Day Creek Channel from Jack Benny
Dr. to Base Line Rd. The project includes slurry seal coating existing pavement, striping, fences
and gates and new signage, construct asphalt pavement connecting from the RC Sports Center to
the Day Creek Channel Trail and install flashing beacons at Church St. because of mid-block
crossing.
PROJECT TYPE: Construction of Class I Bike to a Class I Regional Trail
PROJECT LENGTH: 1.4 mile
AMOUNT OF THE LOCAL MATCH: $217,00
SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR LOCAL MATCH: Local Funds
RESOLUTION ATTACHED TO APPLICATION:
PLEASE PROVIDE DATA TO SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL USE OF THE BICYCLE OR
SIDEWALK FACILITY PROPOSED IN THIS APPLICATION:
The proposed Class I Bike Trail project will provide over 1,543 students (primarily from Terra Vista
Elementary School located in the Etiwanda School District) and their families with safe, continuous
places to walk or ride their bicycles that are separated from traffic. Below is a breakdown of the total
number of students who are close to the Day Creek Channel Bike Trail:
- Within one and one-half mile – 1,543 students
- Within two miles – 8,610 students
According to a recent survey, only 20% of residents reported feeling comfortable and confident in
riding a bicycle in the City. Survey respondents reported that the top locations they were interested in
walking or biking included parks or trails (78%), shopping/errands (44%), and houses of friends or
family (41%). However, when asked about the obstacles preventing residents from walking and
bicycling, common responses included aggressive drivers (38%) and roads/sidewalks/trails not feeling
safe (24%). The top transportation spending priorities identified by respondents to increase the
likelihood of walking and bicycling included expanding/improving the bicycle/pedestrian pathway or
trail network (59%), constructing more bikeways (43%) and installing additional sidewalk amenities
(42%).

The project will ease travel for students, families, and other non-motorized users by improving
bicycling routes, enhancing connectivity to existing bicycle and trail networks, and encouraging
transportation alternatives. Within an approximate 1 mile radius, the area contains 4 public parks, the
Victoria Gardens Cultural Center, a city library, 3 elementary schools, and 1 high school (spanning
across 2 school districts). Additionally, the proposed Class I Bike Trail will enhance north-south
connections to the City’s existing regional multi-use trail system and link residential neighborhoods,
business areas, retail market places, schools, and various recreational amenities.
Multi-use paths give pedestrians a place to walk and bicycle that is separate from traffic and help
facilitate students’ (and residents’) ability to walk to school, to neighborhood amenities, and to places
of employment. Constructing multi-use paths and closing gaps in the trail network system near schools
can drastically increase pedestrian safety for children and families. The students and families living in
the surrounding neighborhoods from the proposed project site will benefit from an enhanced trail
network system as these improvements will keep them off the roadways, enhancing pedestrian
crossings to get to school and work safely, and decreasing risk of injury or death. In addition, the
proposed Class 1 Bike Trail will increase route options, improving the existing network of paths,
paseos, sidewalks, streets, and equestrian trails and providing residents with greater travel options.
Furthermore, land use decisions affect the shape, feel, and safety of a community, and the health of
those who live there. To mitigate the negative impact on the health of the community and promote a
healthy, safe city, Rancho Cucamonga’s proposed enhancements will provide equal access to
transportation. Improving the circulation system through the design and accessibility of
multimodal transportation will promote physical activity by encouraging students and residents to
walk or bike thus reducing health risks associated with physical inactivity such as heart disease,
diabetes, and obesity. Additionally, increasing the priority of projects that promote walkability,
maximizing opportunities for walking, and enhancing safety, convenience, and strategic
improvements will promote a healthy and sustainable community.
PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW THE PROJECT IS SITUATED WITHIN THE REGIONAL SYSTEM:
(EXPLAIN HOW THIS PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH A REGIONAL A REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION PLAN OR SANBAG NMTP (IF APPLICABLE))
The Day Creek Channel runs north to south on the west side of Rancho Cucamonga providing a
direct regional connection to the PE Trail. This project will provide additional access for the region
to Victoria Gardens, the new RC Sports Center and the southern area of the City which includes
commercial, manufacturing and industrial jobs access.
Day Creek Channel Trail is identified in the San Bernardino County Non-Motorized Transportation
Plan (NMTP) March 2011 (Revised June 2018) as “Future Improvements” (Table 5.90) as well as
“Priority Improvements” (Table 5.91) for the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
The proposed project will provide a direct connection to the Pacific Electric Trail which is included
in the NMTP as an existing Regional Non-Motorized Asset and Class I backbone.

PLEASE OUTLINE THE DESTINATIONS SERVED BY THIS PROJECT: (DESTINATIONS CAN
BE IN A LIST FORM WITH POTENTIAL NUMBER OF BIKE/PED USERS DESCRIBED)
The Day Creek Channel presently serve residential neighborhoods in the northeast area of the
City. The proposed project would provide direct connection for neighborhoods in the southeast
area of the City to access the Pacific Electric Trail which provides access to numerous parks (i.e.,
Red Hill Community Park, Central Park, Ellena Park), schools (i.e., Carlton Lightfoot
Elementary, Victoria Groves Elementary, Etiwanda Intermediate, Rancho Cucamonga High
School), business and shopping opportunities (i.e., Victoria Gardens Regional Shopping Center,
Terra Vista Town Center, Thomas Winery Plaza), recreational facilities and community centers,
(i.e., Goldy S. Lewis Community Center, James L. Brulte Senior Center, Teen Center), libraries
(i.e., Paul A. Biane, Archibald), as well as other upcoming connecting trails (i.e., Cucamonga and
Deer Creek Trails). This project will also provide access by way of an off-street trail for all
neighborhoods to the new RC Sports Center.
In addition to the various destinations within the city, the project will provide the opportunity to
commute to the neighboring cities of Upland and Fontana and beyond.
DESCRIBE HOW THIS PROJECT IMPROVES THE SAFETY OF CYCLISTS AND/OR
PEDESTRIANS USING THE CORRIDOR: (POTENTIAL FOR)
Many of the traffic-related risks associated with children walking/biking to school, people
commuting to work, or traveling for recreation via traditional on-street routes could be
significantly lowered, should they be diverted onto the City’s multi-use trail system. Trails are
dedicated walking/biking paths where vehicles are prohibited thereby significantly reducing
traffic-related risks. Instead of having to navigate major intersections, intersections with one-
directional stop signs, major/minor arterials with inadequate and/or disregarded
pedestrian/bicyclist signage, pedestrians and bicyclists can travel on a dedicated
pedestrian/bicycle pathway, thus eliminating many of the aforementioned hazards.
This project complements many of the City’s efforts to promote safe active transportation. The
City has a comprehensive Safe Routes to School Program aimed at improving safety and educating
and encouraging children to walk/bike to school, including using the trail system as a preferred
route. The City also launched a citywide pedestrian safety campaign – Look, Look, Look – which
encourages motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages to travel in a safe manner. The City
also recently adopted a Complete Streets Ordinance in 2012 with the goal of consistently designing
and operating the entire roadway with all users in mind – including bicyclists, public
transportation vehicles and riders, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities.

EXPLAIN THE MULTIMODAL OR TRANSIT SYSTEM CONNECTIVITY PROVIDED BY
THIS PROJECT:
This project will provide a north/south connection by way of a Class I Bike Trail (Day Creek
Channel) to a Class I Regional Multi-use Trail (Pacific Electric Trail). In addition the project
provides access to multiple Omnitrans bus lines including Route 66 which connects to Route 67
and Chaffey College, and Route 82 which connects to the Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink Station
and Route 85 that heads south to the Chino Transit Center.
ESTABLISH THE LEVEL OF THE PROJECT’S READINESS: (INCLUDE A DISCUSSION ON
THE LOCAL PARTICIPATION PROCESS THAT RESULTED IN THE IDENTIFICATION AND
PRIOTIZATION OF THE PROJECT)
This project was identified as a priority project in the public outreach process done for the 2015
Circulation Master Plan for Pedestrians and Bicycles. Feedback from outreach efforts prioritized low-
stress improvements to allow for increased bicycling and walking for our residents.
The proposed project will restore existing pavement conditions with slurry seal coating, striping,
fences and gates, flashing beacons and new signage, construct asphalt pavement connecting from the
RC Sports Center to the Day Creek Channel Trail and therefore requires minimal time for design and
construction.
The proposed project is straightforward and therefore design of the connections and advertisement
of the project will occur in a swift timeframe if awarded the grant.
HAS THE AGENCY DELIVERED PAST PROJECTS ON SCHEDULE? IF YES, WHAT STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE SIMILAR RESULTS. IF NO, WHAT STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO PREVENT A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has a proven track record of being able to manage and deliver a
wide variety of capital improvement projects, including Federal and State funded project.
Previously, the City was awarded TDA Article 3 grants to help fund the construction of Pacific
Electric Trail/Day Creek Channel Trail Connection Project. The project was completed on schedule.
After that, the City was awarded two (2) TDA Article 3 grants to help fund construction of
1.) Pacific Electric Trail Connection Project at Deer Creek Channel from Base Line Rd. to
Church St. and 2.) Day Creek Channel from Highland Ave. to Base Line Rd. The combined
project was completed on schedule.
If the City’s TDA Article 3 grant application is successful, this project will have the same project
management approach as the other successful project deliveries. The same project management
procedures will be followed including identifying one project manager, regular communication,
regular on-site meetings, and a firm commitment to assist the contractor to stay on schedule.
