EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors (Board) approved funding in the amount of $490,000 from the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program for the Rimrock Road Reconstruction Project (Bike/Ped Components) between H St. and Agarita Ave. Project as outlined in the letter received from SBCTA dated November 5, 2025 (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION:
City staff recently pursued funding opportunities to support active transportation and roadway safety improvements within the City. In alignment with City Council goals to enhance connectivity, safety and alternative transportation options, staff submitted an application to the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) for Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 funding. SBCTA Board of Directors approved funding in the amount of $490,000, specifically for development of a Class IV Bike Lane along Rimrock Rd, between H St. and Agarita Ave. Staff will coordinate with SBCTA on administrative requirements, accounting and reporting to ensure compliance with TDA funding guidelines.
The Rimrock Road Class IV Bike Lane will demonstrate the City's commitment to improving sustainable transportation options by enhancing safe active transportation infrastructure in our community. Approval of Resolution No. XXXX-2025 by the City Council will authorize submittal of the claim for TDA Article 3 funds and project reimbursement and designate the City Manager, or their designee, to certify project completion.
FISCAL IMPACT:
In conjunction with the FY 25-26 Street Rehabilitation Project, the Class IV bike lanes that are proposed to be installed on Rimrock Rd., from H St., to Agarita Ave., had an Engineer's Estimate of approximately $1,000,000. Fiscal Impacts are to be determined through the bid solicitation process of the FY25-26 Street Rehabilitation Project which will be publicly opened and read at 2:00pm on January 7th, 2026. The TDA Article 3 funds represent 49% of the Engineer's Estimates. Based on final bid results, any additional funding for the Class IV bike lanes are anticipated to be funded by Measure I Regional Funds upon amendment to the Rimrock Rd. and Agarita Ave. Project.
