The first and second phases of of the bicycle or Rathbun Creek Trail have been completed providing non-motorized access between sidewalk facility Big Bear Blvd./SR 18 and the Moonridge Business District. Several phases remain to be completed, including complete streets road improvements on Moonridge Road within the Moonridge Business District. The complete streets improvements are under construction and will provide roundabouts, a Class IV two-way separated "cycle track", 10-foot wide sidewalks, seating, pedestrian crosswalks, and landscaping. The restroom will be located within the district center and accessible from the trail and complete streets improvements. The City has a daily pedestrian commuter rate of about 7% which is the highest in the County, and a 1.06% rate of daily bike commuter trips (Source: SBCTA Non- Motorized Transportation Plan). This is less more likely due to the compact geography and layout of the City, which is characterized by smaller parcels and commercial corridors that bisect the city (Big Bear Blvd. and Moonridge Road). The complete street road improvements will likely increase the pedestrian and bike commuter rates because it will be safer and more accessible to walk/bike in the district. The restroom project will further encourage non-motorized commutes. 2/6 Describe how project The City's Rathbun Corridor Sustainability Plan was adopted in 2017. The Rathbun is situated in the Creek trail corridor was identified in the Bear Valley Pedestrian, Bicycle, and regional system. Equestrian Plan (2014); which is a non-motorized transportation plan under Explain how this collaborative development between the City of Big Bear Lake, the County of San project is consistent Bernardino, Caltrans, local stakeholders, and a variety of other local agencies. The with a Regional Rathbun Corridor Sustainability Plan shows a public restroom within the Moonridge Transportation Plan Business Center. This proposal will add the first phase (a restroom)to the planned or SBCTA's trailhead in this area, as shown in the excerpts of the attached Rathbun Corridor Countywide Active Sustainability Plan (on pages 3, 5, and 6). This area is also identified in SBCTA's Transportation Plan, Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (Figure 5.8). These plans show that Rathbun if applicable. Creek Trail and the Moonridge Center non-motorized improvements are key pieces for connecting the National Forest to the Lake. This connection provides a safe alternative to driving because it is the first link which bisects the City in a north/south direction. Furthermore, the restroom provides a convenient benefit to residents, employees, and visitors who will walk or bike within the district. Outline the The Moonridge Business District contains a mix of commercial, recreational, and destinations served multi-and single-family residential land uses. From the restroom's preferred site by this project. location at the Big Bear Fire Station are the following destination points and Destinations can be distances to the project area: in a list form with 1.

The installation project will improve of a restroom is a convenient amenity to pedestrian and cyclist and therefore not cyclist and/or impacted by collision data. However, there is one pedestrian collision on Moonridge pedestrian safety. Road which resulted in injury just outside of the project area in 2018. The complete Where able, site the street improvements will reduce traffic speeds because maximum speed limits will be number of collisions lowered and roundabouts and crosswalks will be installed to create a safe, walkable during an identified environment in the district. The complete streets plus this restroom proposal are timeframe this expected to increase biking and walking along the corridor, because current street project aims to conditions are not bike and pedestrian friendly. Currently, this segment of the road is address. over 100 feet in width, encourages speeding, and there are no safe crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. 3/6 Explain the Mountain Transit has three bus stops within the Moonridge center and two routes multimodal or transit along this segment of the road, where the project is located. The stops are located system connectivity within the complete streets improvement area, and the complete streets project will provided by this improve the bus stops with seating, lighting, and trash receptacles. The public project. restroom facility will be located within 150 feet to 830 feet of the bus stops. The restroom will be located at the fire station, which is public property, and is located at the corner of Rathbun Drive and Fir Street. The nearest stop is at Fir Street and Moonridge Road which is about one block(150 feet in distance)from the restroom. Establish the level of The project has been part of regular community outreach and discussion with local the project's groups (Big Bear Cycling Association, Moonridge Business Owners) since the readiness. Include a creation of the Rathbun Corridor Sustainability Plan. The Plan identified the discussion on the preferred site location of the restroom. In 2018, the City held a capital project open local participation house to obtain feedback on the design of the complete streets projects. The process that resulted Council has discussed the project (restroom and separate complete streets project) in the identification at its subsequent public meetings during approval of the design contract(2019), and prioritization of during acceptance of the final design (2020), during the City budget process and the project. approval of the Capital Improvement Plan (2021). City staff is already working to secure approvals for the preferred site location. The project conceptual design was approved during the budget/Capital Improvement Process earlier this year(Spring 2021). The City will provide the preliminary design and the City will provide the necessary match for the complete project cost. Should the project be awarded the grant, the project would be completed in fiscal year 2023/2024, with the completion of the complete streets project on Moonridge Road. 4/6 Has the agency The City of Big Bear Lake has received TDA awards in the past for other projects. delivered past Six projects from 2007 through 2011 have been completed. The following is a list of projects on more recent projects and their status: schedule? If yes, what steps will be 1. Pine Knot Avenue Sidewalk Project (2007)—Complete taken to ensure 2. Elks Lodge Bus Stop and Sidewalk Project(2007)—Complete similar results? If no, 3. Red Ant Hill Sidewalk Project(2009)—Complete what steps will be 4. Overlay Projects (2010)—Complete taken to prevent a 5. Highway 18 Sidewalk, Paine to Bartlett(2011)—Complete similar occurrence? 6. Knickerbocker Creek Multi-Use Trail (2013)—Complete 7. Big Bear Blvd Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility (2015)- Canceled; CTC did not grant the needed time extension due to a project scope change. 8. Stanfield Cutoff Connectivity Project(2016)— Under Construction; received two (2) extensions. 9. Alpine Path Rathbun Creek Extension— Under Construction; received three (3) time extensions. 10. Mountain Transit Bus Stop on Big Bear Blvd. — 1-year extension (Dec. 2021), under construction and projected completion date by early fall 2021. To date, the City has delivered project milestones on schedule while managing more than$10 million in grant monies. Completed projects range from a non-motorized transportation master plan, sustainability plan, multi-purpose trails, parks, a fishing dock, sidewalks, ADA improvements, street and drainage improvements, solar energy projects, sewer system improvements, and others. City staff has decades of experience successfully designing, bidding, and coordinating consultants, contractors and subcontractors for timely completion of projects. With grant-funded projects, City staff conducts regular meetings and inspections to insure timely project completion of all project steps. More recent projects have had larger scopes and multi-agency coordination, so delays that are outside of our control have occurred. However, the City strives to complete all projects in a timely manner, even when time extensions are needed. On this project, the attached map provides an alternative location should he preferred site be unable to accommodate the restroom. The alternative site is City-owned and still located within the Moonridge center. It should be noted, the alternate site may affect distances to the points of interest along the corridor, but is within walking and biking distance to each point. Since the alternate site is a flat parcel that is City- owned, the project would still be expected to be completed on time. Furthermore, this project is in the City Council approved 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, so it is expected to be completed by fiscal year 2024/2025. What provisions The City has won numerous awards for its annual budgets and fiscal management does the agency practices. The City's 2021-22 Budget includes an investment of more than$20.24 have in place to million in capital improvements and replacements. Also, the City's General Fund ensure the facility will revenues have increased and are anticipated to be approximately$17.83 million in be properly FY 2021-22. To ensure adequate resources and funds, the City reviews the budget maintained? at mid-year and approves a new budget each fiscal year. The 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan is also reviewed at those times. The City collects Development Impact Fees and Transient Occupancy Tax, which provide local funding for public facilities. The project will be added to the public works routine maintenance and regular trash collection schedules. The City has added additional public works staff for the maintenance of facilities over the years as public facilities have been added. 5/6 Attach Map(s) Rathbun Drive Fire St. Site Plan.pdf 105.57KB Prefab Restroom Plan.pdf 728.55KB Restroom Location Map.pdf 930.51 KB Attach Picture(s) Fire Station Preferred Site.jpg 843.61 KB Fire Station Rathbun Drive.jpg 756.85KB Elm Trailhead Alternative Site.jpg 813.63KB Access to Completed Rathbun Trail.jpg 977.79KB Moonridge Center Construction July 29.jpg 690.85KB Attach Other Rathbun Corridor Sustainability Plan Excert Relevant 30.63MB Pages.pdf Take a Walk Collissions Project Area.pdf 253.89KB Take a Walk PIPP Project Area.pdf 251.78KB Take a Walk Sidewalk Explorerer Project Area.pdf 436.9KB Outreach & Progress Articles.pdf 723.16KB Phasing & Funding.pdf 18.05MB Preliminary Engineering/Design Cost: Preliminary 0 Engineering/Design Cost Right of Way Cost 0 Project Con Cost 444,950.00 Local Match 194,950.00 LTF, Article 3 Funds 250,000.00 Requested Total Project Cost 444,950.00 Project Evaluation Criteria Overall Quality of Application: 15 pts Project Need and Purpose: 40 pts Cost Effectiveness: 15 pts Timeliness of Prior Project Completion: 5 pts Matching Funds: 25 pts 6/6 1 have read the r1 (1)the total award amount will be rescinded if the agency fails to submit a Claim guidelines and Form and Authorizing Resolution within SIX months of award notification, and understand:* have read the r7 (2)two one-year extensions may only be granted without SBCTA Board approval guidelines and IF: (a) progress has been made on the project, and (b) an extension request understand:* including an appropriate justification for the delay and a revised project completion date is provided THREE MONTHS BEFORE the project sunset date. \e `tea = - ARTIST IMPRESSION: 3D RENDERING ONLY FOR REPRESENTATION.

Rural communities often thrive by maximizing the benefits of strong partnership frameworks. 1 of 3 Happy Hills Trail Grizzly file photo 10/30/2019 It takes a village of partnerships | Grizzly Weekender | bigbeargrizzly.net www.bigbeargrizzly.net/home/grizzly_weekender/it-takes-a-village-of-partnerships/article_eefc08aa-adb4-11e9-bd2d-271e6d9a6814.html 2/3 This sharing of ideas, services and resources allows small communities to offer more than just essential services to residents and visitors, even through difficult economic times. Whether you know it or not, Big Bear outdoor recreation enthusiasts enjoy hundreds of miles of trails — foot trails, bikeways, nature trails and multi-use trails — thanks to many community partners that construct and maintain them. Representatives from the city of Big Bear Lake, San Bernardino County, U.S. Forest Service, Big Bear Mountain Resort and the Southern California Mountains Foundation gather monthly as the Trails Advisory Group to chat about upcoming trail activities. Much of this conversation focuses on attracting and retaining volunteers, undoubtedly the most important link in the partnership chain. No single TAG agency has adequate staffing to maintain all of the nearly 1,500 miles of Forest Service trails around Big Bear Valley. Dedicated volunteers work hard to ensure Big Bear continues to be recognized as Southern California’s premier hiking and biking destination. Partnerships! This past winter the federal government temporarily shut down during our busiest season of the year. Without the daily maintenance that is typically provided by San Bernardino National Forest employees, the Aspen Glen, Cougar Crest and Woodland Trail trailheads very quickly became overwhelmed by thousands of visitors. Almost immediately, trash bins were overflowing, plastic snow sleds and debris littered the forest floor, and restrooms had to be closed due to unsanitary conditions. With a couple phone calls, the USFS, city of Big Bear Lake, and local volunteers developed a plan to provide daily maintenance of these Forest Service trailheads throughout the government shutdown. Thanks to this collaboration, most trailhead visitors never realized Forest Service maintenance was affected by the shutdown. Partnerships! The city’s forte is constructing paved hiking and biking trails within the urban environments of Big Bear Lake. Right now, six trail projects are under way within the incorporated city limits, half of which join existing trails that extend beyond the city limits. None of these projects could be successfully constructed without the assistance of the TAG agencies. The Forest Service routinely assists with environmental impact remediation. San Bernardino County provides support throughout the engineering design process. Southern California Mountains Foundation provides and installs wood fencing and interpretive signs, propagates native plants and clears vegetation. These efforts reduce project delivery costs by tens of thousands of dollars.

The planning and organizing necessary to successfully host this event begins 11 months in advance and includes dozens of businesses, law enforcement and transportation agencies, and volunteer organizations. The Big Bear Cycling Association leads the monumental effort to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. This marquee event allows us to show off Big Bear and our biking facilities each year and would not be possible without cooperation from each and every person involved. Partnerships! As the saying goes, “It takes a village.” Well, I’m proud to be a part of our little village, and I enjoy the partnerships that make our mountain community such a great place to live.

City employees and their consultants presented renderings of three projects to the public beckoning their suggestions. Two of the projects add new multi-use recreation paths near Stanfield Marsh, one having ecological restorative motives and the other being sheerly for safety. But work slated for the Moonridge Corridor drew the most attention. The project reconfigures the physical layout of the roughly quarter-mile long Moonridge business center, spanning from Elm Street to Rathbun Drive. Under the plan, a two-way protected bicycle lane would be constructed on the eastern side of Moonridge Road, where the existing Bear Mountain auxiliary parking lot sits, plus new roundabouts and an abundance of greenery. Two slightly-different versions of the plan were presented, one that included slightly less parking and more greenery than the other. Both versions would significantly reduce parking along the corridor’s west side. Bynette and Greg Mote have lived in Moonridge for about a year and a half and would love to see a change on the corridor they call barren and unexciting. “It’s like a massive concrete slab,” Greg said. “I would love to see some greenery. A new tree-lined avenue would fit in,” Bynette said. Although colorful drawings were presented at the workshop, that’s about all the city has funding for so far. “We haven’t identified specific construction funding yet,” said John Harris, director of Public Works and Engineering for the city of Big Bear Lake. Another project would widen Stanfield Cutoff into the west end of the lake. The new path extends the Alpine Pedal Path onto the cutoff via a protected multi-use path to be constructed outside the roadway. The project is called the Stanfield Cutoff Connectivity Project, and unlike Moonridge, grant funding has already been secured. Harris hopes to have construction underway by summer 2019. As it is now, ample parking fills each side of the cutoff offering pedestrians and cyclists limited options outside of prayer to safely get across. “It’s terrifying squeezing between parked cars and driving cars,” Greg Mote said. The last project discussed at the workshop is also expected to start construction next summer. The $1 million Stanfield Marsh Outdoor Recreation and Education Project, or SMORE, adds 150 trees and 650 native plants to replant Stanfield marsh. Along with new vegetation, the first phase of the project adds a 10-foot-wide trail made of decomposed granite starting where the wooden boardwalk ends extending out to Division Creek. A connection from Stanfield Cutoff to the current trail near the parking lot would also be constructed for safe access from the street. “This is a pedestrian nature trail,” said Bridgette Burton, project manager with the city of Big Bear Lake, adding that cyclists are also allowed. A portion of one of two Moonridge Corridor renderings presented Aug. 18 at a workshop hosted by the City of Big Bear Lake. This project alternative includes parking on the southern side of Moonridge Drive and less green space within the center divide. The other alternative includes more green space in the center and no parking on the southern side of Moonridge Drive. GARRETT BERGTHOLD/Big Bear Grizzly 8/25/2020 Public weighs in on 3 city projects in the works | Big Bear Valley News | bigbeargrizzly.net https://www.bigbeargrizzly.net/news/public-weighs-in-on-city-projects-in-the-works/article_1bf8913c-a340-11e8-8b62-5f8a26939f23.html 2/2 Along the trail, signs about local wildlife, vegetation and watershed would spring up. Guard rails will also be built along the new trail extending from the boardwalk to keep people on the trail and off the marsh. Burton says the current dirt path east of the boardwalk is undefined, which has led to human-made “social trails” where people have “trampled the sensitive species out there.” While the project’s first phase already has grant funding, the city is preparing grant proposals for the second phase. Under phase two, a bridge would be constructed over Division Creek and the defined trail would extend to Division Drive. All three projects are small pieces of the larger Big Bear Valley Pedestrian, Bicycle and Equestrian Master Plan adopted by the city in 2014. The plan seeks to fill Big Bear Valley with connecting nonmotorized paths. 9/15/2020 On the Trail | Big Bear Grizzly https://bigbeargrizzly.net/news/2807/on-the-trail/1/10 On the Trail Aug 14, 2019 7:54 PM Happy Hills Trail is located behind City Hall in BIg Bear Lake.

Twelve years ago I attended a meeting chaired by Phil Hamilton to discuss future trails throughout Big Bear Valley. The group was formed as an ad hoc committee of the Big Bear Valley Recreation and Park District and took the name of the Trails Coalition. After a year of discussing how we could improve public access and identification of the trails throughout the Valley it was decided that the group should form as a nonprofit and hence became the Trails Foundation. These few trail advocates then proceeded to look for funding several highly needed trails, which is where I got directly involved. Working for the city of Big Bear Lake allowed me to pursue several grant opportunities. In 2012 we were able to secure a Caltrans planning grant of $197,000 with San Bernardino County as co-applicant to develop a master plan of trails for the Valley. Fortunately for me, the city had a very bright and energetic staff that took the ball running. Over the next two years numerous public hearings were held throughout the Valley to discuss the necessary facilities needed for pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians. The ultimate product was the Pedestrian, Bicycle and Equestrian Master Plan of Trails for Big Bear Valley. The plan, which was adopted by the city of Big Bear Lake and the county laid out a future vision for the trails and bikeways throughout the Valley. The goal of the plan was to connect all of the residential and commercial areas of the Valley to our greatest asset the national forest. Since that time the implementation of the plan has moved aggressively forward. The goal of providing sidewalks on the north side of Big Bear Boulevard has been completed from Stanfield Cutoff to Red Ant Hill. The four lane portion of Big Bear Boulevard has been restriped to accommodate a bike lane on the north side, and an new trailhead has been constructed at City Hall called the Happy Hills Trail. In addition, the Trails Foundation, in conjunction with the Southern California Mountains Foundation, has developed a seamless Valleywide trails identification program being implement Search for...  SUBSCRIBE 9/15/2020 On the Trail | Big Bear Grizzly https://bigbeargrizzly.net/news/2807/on-the-trail/3/10 as we speak. New trailhead kiosks and interpretive signage has been added to Happy Hills Trail and the Alpine Pedal Path. The Master Trails Plan also envisioned a multipurpose backbone trail along Rathbun Creek that would connect the far end of Sand Canyon at Forest Service Road 2NO8 to the lakeshore. The first phase of that trail has been completed from Elm Street north to the old trout pond. The second phase from the trout pond to Big Bear Boulevard is in design with a new trailhead and parking lot located between Captains Anchorage and Mountain Cafe. In addition, engineering and design is being done to complete a pedestrian/bicycle pathway along the east side of Moonridge Road to connect the new zoo to the trail at Elm Street. Permits are being sought to widen Stanfield Cutoff on the west side and to utilize the right of way on the north side of Big Bear Boulevard along Eagle Point Estates to extend the Pedal Path to the Interlaken Shopping Center. Permits and design are also being completed to extend the Stanfield Marsh Boardwalk to the Convention Center. Grant money has been awarded to the city to begin designing a dedicated bike lane that will run clockwise around the entire lake. And just last month, equestrian advocates formed a group to begin protecting and constructing trails in the East Valley. All of these projects are identified in the Master Plan of Trails, which started out as a vision but is starting to show amazing results. Community planning has always required patience, but for me to actually be able to walk along the completed Happy Hills Trail and the first phase of Rathbun Trail gives me great pride and personal satisfaction. I may not be here to see the completion of all the identified projects, but I know that someday the Master Plan of Trials, a vision of a few trail advocates had 12 years ago, will become reality.

There are existing businesses with access to the proposed trail alignment . There are also locations for infill development, which is more likely to occur with trail access and improved infrastructure . Furthermore, the City of Big Bear Lake is in the process of purchasing or acquiring access agreements for all properties in this area . This phase is broken into 3 sections . The following sections are the suggested order of priority; however, section 1b could be prioritized before 1a if desired . 1a) Big Bear Boulevard to Elm Street 1b) Elm Street to Moonridge Road 1c) Along Moonridge Road PHASE 2: SANDALWOOD DRIVE TO BIG BEAR BOULEVARD This region is identified in phase 2 because it’s an important connection to the commercial businesses on Big Bear Boulevard . Furthermore, pending new development, this segment will become a necessary link to the lake . PHASE 3: BIG BEAR LAKE TO SANDALWOOD DRIVE This is the final link connecting the Moonridge commercial area to the lake . However, it is unknown when that area will develop . Therefore, it is recommended that this segment is integrated into the site plan for the Sandalwood Property . PHASE 4: GOLF COURSE AND SAND CANYON This phase has two sections: 4a) The golf course 4b) Sand Canyon Section 4a cuts through the golf course and is identified as an important link, connecting the Moonridge Center to Sand Canyon . This section will require further coordination with Big Bear Mountain Resort and residents . Section 4b runs along Sand Canyon . There is currently ample space and allowances/ ownership to prepare for trail construction . It is impractical to develop that portion of the trail until a safe connection is established, connecting Moonridge Center to Sand Canyon, section 4a . ANY PHASE: SAND CANYON TRAILHEAD The Sand Canyon Trailhead is considered the final phase . The site for the trailhead is recommended just outside of the National Forest at the terminus of Sand Canyon Road . However, another option has been proposed inside the Forest Service, see Appendix 1 . Initial efforts have been made to prioritize the equestrian trailhead location for improvements, but no implementation efforts are currently planned . This phase will likely require additional public process and research . 7. PHASING, MAINTENANCE AND FUNDING 71 Moonridge Center Phasing The proposed conditions for Moonridge Center will evolve from their current state to a highly designed, active streetscape with trail and bike facilities, (Figure 7.2) . Phase 1 – The public improvements happen in this phase, (Figure 7.3). The improvements include Rathbun Trail, a trailhead, park space, a pedestrian bridge, a zoo, modified traffic lanes, a median, a roundabout, a cycle track, parking and landscaping . While the trailhead improvements should happen concurrently with or subsequent to the trail and pedestrian bridge development, the streetscape improvements to Moonridge Road and Rathbun Drive are not contingent on trail development . Therefore, the trail and streetscape improvements benefit from one another, but are independent projects that should be advanced along their own respective timelines based upon design, evaluation and financing . It is important to note that both should be considered high priority projects . Phase 2 – The private improvements happen in this phase, (Figure 7.3). The improvements include infill development including uses such as, specialty food service, a restaurant, general retail, a grocery store, service commercial, general offices, and a potential hotel .

Transformation EXISTING AND PROPOSED EXISTING CONDITIONS PROPOSED CONDITIONS Figure 7.3 | 75 Moonridge Corridor Phasing PHASES 1 AND 2 PHASE 2: INFILL BUILDINGS PHASE 1: STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS Rathbun Corridor SUSTAINABILITY PLAN 76 The following are proposed standards of care that can be adjusted to fit the unique circumstances for individual trail settings within the Rathbun Corridor . • Inspection, inventory and tracking • Maintenance activities (type required, i .e . vegetation clearing, litter clean-up, bridge repair, etc .) • Environmental compliance and resource stewardship (i .e . controlling invasive non-native plant species, nesting season protection) • Scheduling and timing • Maintenance equipment • Budgeting to meet annual and cyclical costs STANDARD LEVELS OF CARE Establishing a level of care for the Rathbun Corridor trails should be determined based on realistic expectations, level of staffing/volunteers required to care for the trails and anticipated life cycle of initial improvements . Based on the level of care, standards can be set and priorities established for essential and nonessential work categories for trail management and maintenance . Factors to consider when establishing the standard level of care include: • Intensity and types of trail use i .e . urban trail, creekside trail, equestrian trail • Quality of varied trails experiences in the Rathbun Corridor • Safety, security and accessibility • A management hierarchy focused on maintaining trail infrastructure • Protection of natural resources along the trails i .e . habitat protection, water quality, Rathbun Creek, Big Bear Lake, National Forest Trail Maintenance OVERALL APPROACH Trail maintenance in the Rathbun Creek Corridor is intended to keep the trails and adjacent areas at or near the originally constructed design standard . The overall maintenance objective should be to develop a systematic approach to address: • User safety • Integrity of the trail • Respect for adjacent land use and land owners • Resource protection and/or enhancement of the trail corridor • Educational and interpretive opportunities Systematic maintenance will promote community acceptance, reduce potential legal liability, encourage positive use and prolong the life of the trail . An effective maintenance and operations management plan will provide standards for managing trails and allow for planning, prioritizing, scheduling and tracking maintenance . 77 SCHEDULING AND TIMING OF MAINTENANCE Maintenance tasks will vary depending on the location, amount of use and resources available . At a minimum a maintenance plan should be developed to determine the frequency of maintenance and how reported concerns will be handled . Routine maintenance done on a weekly or monthly basis would include: graffiti removal, sweeping paved trails, collecting litter and recycling, and monitoring habitat areas for unauthorized use . Annual maintenance would include various corrective actions associated with trail surfacing, drainage, vegetative management, temporary closures, signage and site furnishing vandalism or repair . Deferred maintenance projects are nonessential projects that can be accomplished over time . A deferred maintenance plan should include a list of maintenance items, anticipated costs and a projected year of accomplishment . Reference Source: Trail Planning for California Communities MAINTENANCE PRIORITIES Maintenance levels should be assigned based on usage, potential to affect safety, protection of resources and affect on adjacent property owners . Trail maintenance should be divided into essential and nonessential tasks . Essential tasks address user safety, resource protection and investment in structural integrity, where corrective action is necessary to prevent worsening conditions or trail failure . Trailheads and staging areas are the first contact of users with the trail and generally are where the concentration of users occur . Therefore, their management and maintenance is essential . Nonessential tasks generally relate solely to user convenience or trail appearance . MAINTENANCE ASSISTANCE City staff and volunteers can be trained to participate in trail supervision, litter control, vandalism repair, special maintenance projects and educational outreach . Building a volunteer corps can help create community support and help stretch maintenance dollars . In addition, the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District (IERCD) will be able to assist in the maintenance of the riparian areas . INFORMATION AND TRACKING Identifying the trail reach and its components (trailheads, staging area, bridges, crossings, signage, fencing, etc .) will be the first step when developing a maintenance and operations management plan for the Rathbun Creek Corridor . Regularly scheduled trail inspections will help to identify issues or problems related to public safety, routine maintenance, resource management and private property security . Employing a trail maintenance checklist or trail maintenance field log will help document deficiencies in the trail bed and surface, drainage and erosion control issues, the need to control vegetation, condition of structures, fencing, signs and site furnishings, graffiti removal, litter pick-up, etc . An up-to-date field log/comprehensive maintenance list will help to prioritize and budget repairs and track the performance of trail repairs . A sample trail checklist is attached for monitoring maintenance requirements and subsequent action, see Appendix 5. Rathbun Corridor SUSTAINABILITY PLAN 78 programs including, but not limited to, projects eligible for Safe Routes to School Program funding . • Ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program . • Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit may types of active transportation users . In addition to furthering the goals of this program, all Active Transportation Program projects must meet eligibility requirements specific to at least one of the Active Transportation Program’s funding sources . Safe Routes to School Projects One of the major Active Transportation Program’s funding sources is Safe Routes to Schools . For a project to contribute toward the Safe Routes to School funding requirement, the project must directly increase safety and convenience for public school students who walk and/or bike to school . Safe Routes to Schools infrastructure projects must be located within two miles of a public school or near a public school bus stop . Safe Routes to School programs do not have a geographic requirement . The following project types are eligible: The Active Transportation Program is funded from MAP-21 formulas as well as state appropriations in the annual Budget Act . The sources are summarized as follows: 1 . 100% of federal Transportation Alternative Program funds (under MAP- 21), except for federal Recreation Trail Program funds appropriated to the Department of Parks and Recreation . 2 . $21 million of federal Highway Safety Improvement Program funds or other federal funds . 3 . State Highway Account funds . The goals of the Active Transportation Program are to: • Increase trips accomplished by biking and walking . • Increase the safety and mobility of non- motorized users . • Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals as established pursuant to Senate Bill 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) and Senate Bill 391 (Chapter 585, Statues of 2009) . • Enhance public health, including reduction of childhood obesity through the use of Potential Funding Sources Potential funding sources for pedestrian, bicycle and complete streets projects and programs are found at all levels of government . The same is true for other non-motorized transportation facilities . All the projects are recommended to be implemented over the next ten years, or as funding is made available . The more expensive projects may take longer to implement . In addition, many funding sources are highly competitive, and therefore it is impossible to determine exactly which projects will be funded by which funding sources . TRAIL FUNDING California’s Active Transportation Program The California Active Transportation Program was created by Senate Bill 99 (Chapter 359, Statutes of 2013) and Assembly Bill 101 (Chapter 354, Statutes of 2013) to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation such as biking and walking . It is important to note that the Safe Routes to School Program and the Bicycle Transportation Act Program that have long been used for funding non-motorized capital projects have been replaced by the Active Transportation Program . 79 2 . California Transportation Commission’s allocation for small urban and rural areas, 3 . California Transportation Commission’s allocation for projects competitively awarded statewide . Additional Funding Sources from the State or Federal Government 1 . Transportation, Community, and System Preservation Program (TCSP): Implementation grants under the TCSP Program are intended to provide financial resources to states, metropolitan planning organizations, local governments and tribal governments to enable them to carry out activities that address transportation efficiency while meeting community preservation and environmental goals . Examples of such policies or programs include: spending policies that direct funds to high-growth regions of the country; urban growth boundaries to guide metropolitan expansion; green corridors programs that provide access to major highway corridors for areas targeted for efficient and compact development . 2 . Land and Water Conservation Fund: The Land and Water Conservation Fund allocates money to state and local governments to primarily recreational to be eligible for Active Transportation Program funding, the projects must meet the federal requirements of the Recreational Trails Program as such projects may not be eligible for funding from other sources . Eligible projects include land acquisition, development and rehabilitation of trails and trailhead facilities, and construction of new trails . Multi-purpose trails and paths that serve both recreational and transportation purposes are generally eligible in the ATP, so long as they are consistent with one or more goals of the program . STREET FUNDING Distribution of State Active Transportation Program Funds Based on State and Federal law, Active Transportation Program funds must be distributed to Metropolitan Planning Organizations, to small and rural areas, and to the Transportation Commission, which awards projects on a statewide basis . Based on this distribution, the Rathbun Corridor project may be eligible to receive Active Transportation Program funds from: 1 . Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the Metropolitan Planning Organization that includes the Big Bear Valley, • New bikeways/walkways for improved mobility, access, or safety, • Improvements to bikeways and walkways for improved mobility, access, or safety, • Traffic control devices to support pedestrians and bicyclists, • New or improved biking or walking routes to transit, • Bicycle parking at employment centers, park and ride lots, rail and transit stations, and ferry docks and landings, • Bicycle-carrying facilities on public transit, • Establishment or expansion of a bike share program, • Recreational trails, trailheads and park projects that facilitate trail linkages or connectivity to non-motorized corridors, • Development of a bike, pedestrian, or active transportation plan in a disadvantaged community, • Education programs to increase bicycling and walking Recreation Trails Projects A second significant funding source for the Active Transportation Program is Recreation Trails Projects . For trail projects that are Rathbun Corridor SUSTAINABILITY PLAN 80 6 . Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant: Office of Traffic Safety Grants (OTS) fund safety programs and equipment . Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety is a specifically identified priority . This category of grants includes enforcement and education programs, which can encompass a wide range of activities, including bicycle helmet distribution, design and printing of billboards and bus posters, other public information materials, development of safety components as part of physical education curriculum, or police safety demonstrations through school visitations . The grant cycle typically begins with a request for proposals in October, which are due the following January . In 2006, OTS awarded $103 million to 290 agencies . The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) is the primary federal source of surface transportation funding, including funds for bicycle and pedestrian facilities . MAP-21 was signed into law by President Obama on July 6, 2012 . Funding surface transportation programs at over $105 billion for fiscal years (FY) 2013 and 2014, MAP-21 is the first long-term highway authorization enacted since 2005 . MAP-21 is a milestone for the U .S . economy and creates criteria which include conserving significant community resources, fostering cooperation between agencies, serving a large number of users, encouraging public involvement in planning and implementation and focusing on lasting accomplishments . 4 . Regional Surface Transportation Program: The Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) is a block grant program established by the State of California utilizing federal funding made available for surface transportation projects . Though most of this funding gets earmarked for highway and transit projects, pedestrian and bicycle projects are still eligible to receive funds from this source . 5 . Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program (EEMP): EEMP Funds are allocated to projects that offset environmental impacts of modified or new public transportation facilities including streets, mass transit guideways, park-n-ride facilities, transit stations, tree planting to equalize the effects of vehicular emissions, and the acquisition or development of roadside recreational facilities, such as trails . State gasoline tax monies fund the EEMP, which annually allocates $10 million for mitigation projects . acquire new land for recreational purposes, including bicycle paths and support facilities such as bike racks . The Fund is administered by the National Parks Service and the California Department of Parks and Recreation and has been reauthorized until 2015 . Cities, counties and districts authorized to acquire, develop, operate and maintain park and recreation facilities are eligible to apply . Applicants must fund the entire project, and will be reimbursed for 50 percent of costs . Property acquired or developed under the program must be retained in perpetuity for public recreational use . The grant process for local agencies is competitive, and 60 percent of grants are reserved for Southern California . In 2009, approximately $1 .25 million was allocated to fund recommended projects in California . 3 . Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program: The Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA) is a National Parks Service program which provides technical assistance via direct staff involvement, to establish and restore greenways, rivers, trails, watersheds and open space . The RTCA program provides only for planning assistance–there are no implementation monies available . Projects are prioritized for assistance based upon 81 in November 1989 to ensure that needed transportation projects were implemented countywide through 2010 . In 2004, San Bernardino County voters overwhelmingly approved the extension of the Measure I sales tax, with 80 .03% voting to extend the measure through 2040 . SANBAG administers Measure I revenue and is responsible for determining which projects receive Measure I funding, and ensuring that transportation projects are implemented . Measure I funds are allocated based on a strategic plan . The Big Bear Valley is in the Mountains Sub-Area for Measure I funding . Regional Improvement Program (RIP) The Regional Improvement Program (RIP) is funded from 75 percent of the funds made available for transportation capital improvement projects under the STIP . This program targets urban projects that are needed to improve transportation within the region . SANBAG recommends to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) the selection of these projects, which can include state highway improvements, local roads, public transit, intercity rail, grade separations, and more . Each region receives a share of funds . San Bernardino County’s share is about 4 .7% of the total funds available from the STIP statewide . reduce the cost of implementing some of the proposed bikeways . Local schools or community groups may use the bikeway or pedestrian project as a project for the year, possibly working with a local designer or engineer . Work parties may be formed to help clear the right of way where needed . A local construction company may donate or discount services . A challenge grant program with local businesses may be a good source of local funding, where corporations “adopt” a bikeway and help construct and maintain the facility . Other opportunities for implementation will appear over time, which may be used to implement the system . REGIONAL AND LOCAL FUNDING SOURCES Regional bicycle and pedestrian grant programs come from a variety of sources, in addition to MAP-21 . Those sources include the State budget, vehicle registration fees, tolls and local sales tax . Most regional funds are allocated by regional agencies such as SANBAG . Measure I Central Measure I is the half-cent sales tax collected throughout San Bernardino County for transportation improvements . San Bernardino County voters first approved the measure a streamlined, performance-based surface transportation program building on many of the highway, transit, bike, and pedestrian programs and policies established in 1991 . Transportation Alternatives is one of two new formula programs created by MAP-21 . Funding for Transportation Alternatives is derived from the National Highway Performance Program, Surface Transportation Program, Highway Safety Improvement Program, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, and Metropolitan Planning Programs . New Road Construction Future road widening and construction projects are one means of providing bike lanes and sidewalks . To ensure that roadway construction projects provide these facilities where needed, appropriate and feasible, it is important that an effective review process is in place so that new roads consider incorporating the designs, standards and guidelines presented in this Plan, as well as the Pedestrian, Bicycle and Equestrian Master Plan . Other Resources for Construction Local sales taxes, fees, and permits may be implemented, requiring a local election . Parking meter revenues may be used according to local ordinance . Volunteer programs may substantially Rathbun Corridor SUSTAINABILITY PLAN 82 Clean Water Act Funding State and local governments need adequate resources to achieve the goals of the Clean Water Act and improve our nation’s water quality . To support these efforts, the U .S . Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created a website to provide tools, databases, and information about sources of funding to practitioners and funders that serve to protect watersheds . http://water .epa .gov/type/watersheds/funding . cfm California Climate Investments (CAP and Trade) The cap-and-trade program uses a market- based mechanism to lower greenhouse gas emissions . Under a cap-and-trade system, companies must hold enough emission allowances to cover their emissions, and are free to buy and sell allowances on the open market . Low Carbon Transportation Investments and Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) The California EPA’s Air Resource Board’s (ARB) Low Carbon Transportation and AQIP programs provide mobile source incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, criteria pollutants, and air toxins through the development of advanced technology and clean transportation . not be typically associated with stormwater, storm drain modifications are often necessary to accommodate trails and habitat projects . Therefore, if such projects are designed and engineered together, storm drain collection facilities may cover the cost of stormwater and trails projects . This is the approach to be applied in the development of the Rathbun Corridor Sustainability Plan slated to begin in 2014 . The County of San Bernardino has not adopted a D .I .F . program . OTHER FUNDING Habitat Restoration (Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF) The U .S . Fish and Wildlife Service awarded $37 .2 million in grants to 20 states in 2015 supporting conservation planning and acquisition of vital habitat for threatened and endangered species . The grants are awarded through the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF) . The intent is to benefit numerous species such as, the coastal California gnatcatcher and the Karner blue butterfly . Measure Y Funds Measure Y is a local funding source based on an increase in the local Transient Occupancy Tax . The measure increased the rate of the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax charged to guests of private home rentals and any other overnight lodging facility from 6% to 7% as of January 1, 2009, and 7% to 8% as of January 1, 2010 . Measure Y was approved by 59 .8% of the votes . Measure YY was an additional advisory-only vote regarding the Measure Y funds . It said, “If the City’s Transient occupancy Tax (also known as Hotel Tax) is increased from 6% to 8%, should the City solely allocate the additional revenue to rebuild and renovate infrastructure, streets, parks, trails, lake access points and other public facilities, and prohibit the additional revenue from being used for general City operations?” Advisory Measure YY was approved with over 78% of the vote . Development Impact Fees The City of Big Bear Lake Development Impact Fees include those collected for circulation, storm drainage collection systems, public use facilities, and parkland and open space . Some of these fees may be used for non-motorized trail improvements if they can be found consistent with the Master Facilities Plan . Although non-motorized transportation projects may 83 Each year, the legislature appropriates funding to ARB for low carbon transportation projects . In fiscal year 2014-15 $200 million was allocated for low carbon transportation projects . Strategic Growth Council - Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and Incentives Program The Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and Incentives Program provides a unique opportunity to improve and support infill development and equity through improvement of existing infrastructure; protect and conserve natural resources and the state’s working lands; and encouraging efficient development partners in areas for growth is projected through a collaborative and coordinated approach . Access to Federal Lands The Federal Lands Access Program was established to improve transportation facilities that provide access to, are adjacent to, or are located within Federal lands . The Access Program is funded by contract authority from the Highway Trust Fund . Funds are subject to the overall Federal-aid obligation limitation . Funds will be allocated among the States using a new statutory formula based on road mileage, number of bridges, land area, and visitation . Rathbun Corridor SUSTAINABILITY PLAN 84 1.
