AGENDA MATTER:

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PARK MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT (CITY OF BARSTOW AND

BARSTOW HEIGHTS COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council is asked to consider approval of Amendment No. 2 to the Park Maintenance Agreement between the City of Barstow (“City”) and the Barstow Heights Community Service District (“District”). The original agreement, approved on October 27, 2020, expired on October 27, 2025. On October 21, 2025, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1, a 90-day extension of the agreement, establishing a new term end date of 11:59 PM on January 26, 2026, to allow staff to conduct a property tax analysis related to the agreement. Staff requests the City Council approve Amendment No. 2, which extends the agreement with the District on a month-to-month basis to allow negotiations to continue and correct the Assessor’s Parcel Number, legal description, and property address for Barstow Heights Park.

DISCUSSION:

On October 27, 2020, the City and the District entered into a Park Maintenance Agreement governing maintenance responsibilities for park facilities located within the District. The initial term of the agreement expired on October 27, 2025. At the October 21, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1, a 90-day extension of the existing service agreement, extending the term through 11:59 pm on January 26, 2026. This extension was approved to allow staff time to conduct a property tax analysis and evaluate the fiscal impacts associated with the agreement.

Amendment No. 2 formalizes the continuation of the agreement by providing for an automatic month-tomonth extension following the expiration of the initial term and the previously approved 90-day extension.

Each monthly renewal period will commence on the 27th day of the month and expire on the 26th day of the following month, unless earlier terminated or otherwise extended by written agreement of the parties.

In addition, staff identified inaccuracies within Exhibit A of the original agreement, including an incorrect Assessor’s Parcel Number, legal description, and property address for Barstow Heights Park.

Amendment No. 2 deletes Exhibit A in its entirety and replaces it with a corrected Exhibit A-1. The amendment also corrects the park address referenced in the recitals, replacing “34574 H Street” with the correct address of “28075 Rimrock Road.”
Except as expressly modified by this amendment, all other terms and conditions of the original agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

City Staff has coordinated with San Bernardino County’s Department of Public Works (SBCDPW) to enter into an agreement for the County’s portion of Rimrock Road from Avenue H to Agarita Ave.

Upon coordination with SBCDPW, it was determined that a cooperative agreement could be established between the City of Barstow and San Bernardino County (SBC) for the County’s segment of roadway.

The City's legal team has reviewed the agreement and approved it as to form and legality. Under the proposed agreement, the City of Barstow would be responsible for the project management and construction inspection services. The roadway would be rehabilitated in the same consistent manner across both jurisdictions, providing uniform improvement to the roadway, minimizing pedestrian and vehicular impacts during construction, and maximizing street rehabilitation funding.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. The agreement covers up to $1,500,000 of the County of San Bernardino's portion of Rimrock Road, defined as the northerly side of Rimrock Road, between Avenue H and Agarita Ave.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends the following:

2. The City Council authorize the City Manager to execute any necessary documents pertaining to the agreement between the City of Barstow and the County of San Bernardino. 6 Packet Pg. 47

WHEREAS, CITY’s share of PROJECT cost is estimated to be $4,800,000 and the COUNTY’s share of PROJECT cost is estimated to be $1,500,000 and shall not exceed this amount, as more particularly set forth in Exhibit “A”, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and, WHEREAS, the above-described costs are proportioned based on the work to be performed within each Party’s jurisdiction; and,
WHEREAS, CITY and COUNTY desire to set forth the responsibilities and obligations of each as they pertain to such participation, and to the design, construction, and funding of the proposed PROJECT.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED as follows:

1.0 CITY AGREES TO:

1.1 Act as the Lead Agency in the design, surveying, construction staking, utility relocation, construction, construction engineering, inspection, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance (Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.). Right-of-Way services are not anticipated and therefore not included in this agreement.

1.2 Provide plans and specifications and all necessary construction engineering for the PROJECT to COUNTY, for COUNTY's prior review and approval pursuant to paragraph 2.1 below.

1.3 Construct the PROJECT by contract in accordance with the plans and specifications provided by CITY, which have been reviewed and approved by COUNTY.

1.5 Obtain a no-cost permit from the COUNTY for work within the COUNTY’s right-of-way.

1.6 Advertise, award, and administer the construction of the PROJECT, in accordance with the provisions of California Public Contract Code applicable to cities and require, as well as enforce, CITY’s contractors to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including Labor Code sections 1720 et seq. and 1770 et seq. that concern the payment of prevailing wages. CITY shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by COUNTY), and hold harmless COUNTY and its officers, employees, volunteers, and agents from any and all claims, actions, losses, damages, and/or liability arising out of CITY’s obligations set forth in this paragraph.

1.7 CITY shall require all contractors and vendors working on the PROJECT to have appropriate and adequate insurance coverage for the mutual protection and benefit of the Parties. Except for Workers' Compensation, Errors and Omissions and Professional Liability policies, CITY shall require and ensure that all CITY contractors/subcontractors for the PROJECT shall have insurance policies that contain endorsements naming the COUNTY and its officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds with respect to liabilities arising out of the performance of services hereunder. The additional insured endorsements shall not limit the scope of coverage for the COUNTY to vicarious liability but shall allow coverage for the COUNTY to the full extent provided by the policy. Such additional insured coverage shall be at least as broad as Additional Insured (Form B) endorsement form ISO, CG 2010.11 85.

1.8 Require CITY’s contractors and subcontractors to pay the minimum of prevailing wages as applicable.

1.9 Provide all construction inspection and materials testing required under the construction contract(s) with the CITY’s contractors and subcontractors for the PROJECT.

At the COUNTY’s discretion and upon written request, the COUNTY may review such inspection and materials testing records; however, the COUNTY shall have no obligation to conduct inspections, testing, or reviews. Upon receipt of a written request from the COUNTY, the CITY shall provide copies of the requested inspection and materials testing records within ten (10) business days. All costs associated with inspection, testing, and recordkeeping shall be included as PROJECT costs.

1.10 Include compliance with any applicable requirements of CEQA, as well as completing the required CEQA documentation.

inspection, CEQA compliance, and CITY overhead cost for the PROJECT. CITY’s proportionate share of cost for the PROJECT is estimated at $4,800,000 (76.2% of PROJECT).

1.12 Submit to COUNTY an itemized accounting of actual PROJECT costs incurred by CITY and a statement for COUNTY’s proportionate share of PROJECT costs, as provided herein. In no event shall COUNTY’s proportionate share of cost of PROJECT exceed $1,500,000 absent a written amendment to this Agreement approved pursuant to paragraph 3.11.

1.13 Accept all payments from COUNTY via electronic funds transfer (EFT) directly deposited into the CITY’s designated checking or other bank account. The CITY shall promptly comply with directions and accurately complete forms provided by COUNTY required to process EFT payments.

2.1 Review, approve, and provide comments, if necessary, for the PROJECT’s plans and specifications provided by the CITY for PROJECT work to be performed in the COUNTY’s jurisdiction.

2.2 Provide a no-cost permit to the COUNTY for its work in the CITY’s right-of-way.

2.3 Within forty-eight hours of request by the CITY during construction and only if an issue is identified within the COUNTY’s right-of-way, provide a qualified COUNTY representative with authority to discuss and resolve COUNTY-related issues and, as requested by the CITY, to inspect the PROJECT work located within the COUNTY’s limits. All PROJECT management, construction engineering, inspection, and lead-agency responsibilities remain with the CITY. For purposes of this provision, "issue" shall be interpreted broadly and shall include any matter the CITY, in its sole discretion, determines requires COUNTY input or coordination.

2.4 Pay COUNTY’s proportionate share of the PROJECT cost. The PROJECT cost shall include the cost of design, utility relocation, construction, construction engineering, inspection, CEQA compliance and CITY overhead cost. COUNTY’s proportionate share of cost for the PROJECT is an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 (approximately 23.8% of PROJECT).

2.5 Pay to CITY, on a reimbursement basis, its share of PROJECT costs within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of an itemized statement as set forth in paragraph 1.12 of this Agreement, setting forth all actual PROJECT costs incurred by CITY, together with adequate documentation of said expenditures. In no event shall COUNTY’s proportionate share of PROJECT cost exceed $1,500,000 absent a written amendment to this Agreement approved pursuant to Paragraph 3.11.

3.0 IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED:

3.1 After CITY’s and COUNTY’s acceptance of completed PROJECT, the COUNTY shall be responsible for performing any maintenance for that portion of the PROJECT that is in the County Maintained Road System and within the COUNTY unincorporated area, and the CITY shall be responsible for performing any maintenance for the PROJECT that is in the CITY incorporated area.

3.2 CITY agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel approved by COUNTY) and hold harmless the COUNTY, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all claims, actions, or losses, damages, and/or liability arising out of CITY’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

3.5 In the event of litigation arising from this Agreement, each Party to the Agreement shall bear its own costs, including attorney(s) fees. This paragraph shall not apply to the costs or attorney(s) fees relative to paragraphs 1.6, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 indemnification.

3.6 CITY and COUNTY are authorized self-insured public entities for purposes of Professional Liability, Automobile Liability, General Liability, and Workers’ Compensation and warrant that through their programs of self-insurance, they have adequate coverage or resources to protect

against liabilities arising out of the performance of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Agreement.

3.7 If either CITY or COUNTY requests additional work that is beyond the scope of the original PROJECT, and not considered by all Parties to be a necessary part of the PROJECT, said work, if approved by all Parties, will be paid solely by the agency requesting the work.

3.8 In the case where one of the Parties owns a utility that needs to be relocated for the PROJECT and that Party does not have prior rights for that utility, it will be the sole responsibility of that Party to relocate the utility at that Party’s cost. This shall not be included as a PROJECT cost. In the case that a utility relocation is determined to be a PROJECT cost based on that utility having prior rights, the relocation of the utility will be included as a project cost for which the COUNTY and CITY will be responsible for funding within their jurisdictional boundaries.

3.9 This Agreement may be cancelled upon thirty (30) calendar days advance written notice of either Party, provided however, that neither Party may cancel this Agreement after CITY awards a contract to construct the PROJECT except as provided herein. In the event the awarded contractor fails to complete the work, completes only part of the work, or dissolves, CITY shall pursue all available remedies against the contractor's faithful performance and completion bonds.

COUNTY shall remain responsible for its proportionate share of costs for any completed work up to the maximum contribution amount specified herein. CITY's pursuit of bonding company remedies shall not relieve COUNTY of its obligation to pay for its proportionate share of completed PROJECT elements. In the event of cancellation as provided herein, including termination pursuant to this paragraph 3.9, all PROJECT costs required to be paid by the Parties prior to the effective date of cancellation shall be paid by the Parties in the same proportion to their contribution for the PROJECT (COUNTY’s share of cost shall not exceed $1,500,000). The Parties recognize and agree that the provisions governing utility relocation and construction are dependent upon the Parties first satisfying CEQA. As provided in this paragraph, the Agreement may be cancelled with or without cause, before, during or after CEQA review/approval.

3.10 Except as provided in Paragraph 3.11, and except for the Parties' operation, maintenance and indemnification obligations contained herein which shall survive Agreement termination, this Agreement shall terminate upon completion of the PROJECT and payment of final billing by the COUNTY for its share of the PROJECT costs. The PROJECT shall be deemed complete upon both PARTIES recording a Notice of Completion with any and all appropriate jurisdictions.

3.11 This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings, or agreements. No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing and signed by both Parties.

3.12 This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any action or proceeding between CITY and COUNTY concerning the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, or which arises out of or is in any way connected with this Agreement or the PROJECT, shall be instituted and tried in the appropriate state court, located in the county of San Bernardino, California.

3.13 Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement.

3.14 Since the Parties or their agents have participated fully in the preparation of this Agreement, the language of this Agreement shall be construed simply, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for any or against any Party. Any term referencing business days shall be deemed COUNTY workdays. The captions of the various articles and paragraphs are for convenience and ease or reference only, and do not define, limit, augment, or describe the scope, content, or intent of this Agreement.

3.15 No waiver of any default shall constitute a waiver of any other default or breach, whether of the same or other covenant or condition. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party shall give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

3.16 If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any portion of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, unless the purpose of this agreement is frustrated.

3.17 This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original. The Parties shall be entitled to sign and transmit an electronic signature of the Agreement (whether

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT WITH BARSTOW SENIOR CENTER TO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the first amendment to the existing lease agreement with the Barstow Senior Center (Senior Center) for the property at 555 Melissa Avenue. This amendment would allow the Senior Center and third-parties to host special events where alcohol is served, subject to enhanced insurance requirements, indemnification provisions, and compliance with the City's temporary use permit ordinance.

DISCUSSION:

The Senior Center currently operates under a lease agreement that does not explicitly authorize events involving alcohol service. The Senior Center has requested permission to serve alcohol at both its own events and third-party events it hosts, to enhance programming opportunities and generate additional revenue. This amendment would allow expanded community programming while incorporating comprehensive risk management measures to protect the City's interests. The proposed amendment:
 Requires $2 million in Commercial General Liability Insurance and adds a requirement for Liquor Liability Insurance
 Requires the Senior Center to indemnify the City for claims, demands, and liabilities for loss for third party events and events where alcohol is served.
 The Senior Center and any third-party hosting an event at the Center must obtain a temporary use permit, without exception.
 The City will pay 57% of the Senior Center's utility costs (sewer, water, gas, and electric) up to a cap of $42,000 per year, which will increase annually by three percent. The Senior Center must submit complete copies of the utility bills to receive payment.  Adds clarifying terms about repairs required by the Senior Center.  Add terms allowing for an annual inspection as well as at any reasonable time.

Because the First Amendment to Lease is amending the 2023 Senior Center Lease Agreement, it only includes sections where terms are being amended (i.e., Sections 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 18, and 19). All other terms of the lease remain the same. The First Amendment is an addition to the 2023 Senior Center Lease Agreement. Both documents together show the full lease terms. The revised sections in the First Amendment replace the matching sections in the original lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor’s reimbursement obligation shall not exceed $42,000.00 per Lease Year, which amount shall be increased annually by 3%, compounded on each anniversary of the Date of Commencement. For purposes of this section, the first Lease Year shall begin on the Effective Date and end on the following November 16, 2026.

Lessor's reimbursement obligation for the first Lease Year shall be calculated at $3,500 per month from the Effective Date through November 16, 2026 Because the first Lease Year is expected to be approximately nine months, Lessor’s reimbursement obligation for the first Lease Year shall not exceed $31,500, which represents the prorated amount of the $42,000 annual reimbursement cap. Lessee shall submit an invoice inclusive of complete copies of utility bills for which reimbursement is sought on a monthly basis. Lessor reserves the right to challenge any utility bill at any time.

G. Section 18 (“Right of Inspections”) shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

Lessee further agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the City on account of any such claims, demands or liabilities.

Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any damage to Lessee or the Premises from any cause. Lessee waives all claims against Lessor for damage to persons or the Premises arising for any reason other than the intentional torts or gross negligence of Lessor or its authorized representatives. Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to the Premises or injury to persons in, upon, about, or arising from any cause, including special events held by third parties and the service and consumption of alcohol on the Premises, and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Lessor.

2. NO EXISTING DEFAULTS. Lessor and Lessee represent that there are currently no defaults by either party under the Lease.

3. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in two or more identical counterparts and delivered by facsimile or by .pdf or other comparable electronic format, with the same force and effect as if all required signatures were contained in a single, original instrument.

8.a
Packet Pg. 96
Attachment: City of Barstow RFP Submission (Lasting Image) (6257 : Award of Professional Serices Agreement for Lasting Images Landscape) 5 Our Plan :

Our plan would be to work the weekly sites on Thursdays with Jose Gutierrez and a maintenance laborer. Initially, Sergio will also assist to get Harvey House under control. This site has many planters that are currently in a state of neglect.

The monthly sites would be scheduled by geographic location by day of the week. A schedule will be submitted to the City of approval. Currently there are many weeds, dead/dying plants in these areas.

Juan Hernandez will go through all initial clocks for an irrigation inspection and develop a punch list for repair items. He will also provide direct supervision of Jose, his laborer, and Sergio.

All crews would operate from our Hesperia yard.

Key notes :

Lasting Images will provide more labor for larger clean-up needs or renovation projects.

Lasting Images has a Qualified Applicator on staff and holds a Pest Control Business License to spray herbicides and apply fertilizers in a commerical setting.

Lasting Images has an ISA Certified Arborist with TRAQ qualification on staff and can properly assess all tree concerns and provide written Arborist Reports and consultations.

Lasting Images has multiple Certified Irrigation Repair Technicians on staff and can properly evaluate and correct any irrigation issues.

Lasting Images has never been released from a government contract prior to the term and typically gets the additional extension years awarded.

Lasting Images can begin work upon award without delay.

Lasting Images understands the use of temporary traffic control is needed in some areas and will be used in compliance with CA MUTCD. City landscape maintenance typically does not require lane closures.

AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR MEASURE Q COMMUNITY PROMOTIONAL FUNDS AND FEE WAIVER FOR THE 19TH ANNUAL NEW MEXICO CHILI COOK-OFF AND BELEN FIESTAS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Dos Costas Communications Corporation is requesting Measure Q Community Promotional Funds in the amount of $25,000, along with a waiver of City fees for the use of Foglesong Park, to support the 19th Annual New Mexico Chili Cook-Off and Belen Fiestas scheduled for April 11, 2026. While this event is included on the City’s list of pre-approved community events, the requested amount exceeds the City Manager’s $3,000 approval authority under the Community Promotional Funding policy and therefore requires City Council consideration. Approval of this item would support a long-standing community event that promotes tourism, cultural engagement, and nonprofit partnerships benefiting the Barstow community.

DISCUSSION:

The New Mexico Chili Cook-Off and Belen Fiestas is listed in Exhibit A of the policy as an annual community event that routinely receives City support. The event celebrates the culinary traditions of New Mexico and Barstow’s Sister City, Belen, New Mexico, and has become a signature event drawing thousands of attendees from throughout Southern California and the Southwest.

Dos Costas Communications Corporation organizes the event in partnership with Trinnaz Helping Hands, a nonprofit organization focused on reducing homelessness and improving quality of life in Barstow.

Under City Council Policy Memorandum #2025-22, the City may provide support to community events through cash grants and/or in-kind contributions, provided the expenditure serves a direct public purpose (Policy Section 2.1.2). The New Mexico Chili Cook-Off and Belen Fiestas meets this standard by promoting community collaboration, cultural recognition, tourism, and economic activity within the City.

While annual community events listed in Exhibit A may receive recurring Contributions as determined by the City Manager (Policy Section 2.1.9), applications for event-related Grants and Contributions are generally limited to $1,000, unless an exception is approved by the City Council (Policy Section 2.1.6).

Additionally, the standard maximum Grant and Contribution amounts are $3,000 per applicant per fiscal year, unless the City Council exercises its discretion to approve a higher amount (Policy Sections 2.2.11 and 2.2.12).

Dos Costas Communications Corporation is requesting $25,000, which exceeds both the City Manager’s authority and the standard policy limits. Accordingly, this request is properly before the City Council for consideration and potential approval of a policy exception.

Staff met with event organizer Mr. Roland Ulloa to review anticipated event needs and costs. Staff obtained a quote from H-Pro for a sound system, which staff has identified as necessary for public safety to allow for emergency announcements during the event. Additionally, portable restroom facilities are required based on projected attendance levels to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

Consistent with Policy Section 2.1.8, approval of this request would require execution of a formal Program Agreement outlining deliverables, conditions, and reporting requirements. The awardee would also be 10 Packet Pg. 126

The fiscal impact of this item is unknown at this time and will be determined based on the direction provided by the City Council.

AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:

ADOPTION OF THE LOCAL ROAD AND SAFETY PLAN (LRSP)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Barstow’s Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) is a data-driven strategic document designed to improve safety on City-maintained roadways. The project was awarded and developed by KOA Corporation in collaboration with law enforcement, emergency responders, community stakeholders, and transportation professionals. The LRSP identifies high-risk areas, evaluates collision trends, and prioritizes proven countermeasures to reduce fatalities and serious injuries.

Adoption of the LRSP by the City Council formalizes the City of Barstow’s commitment to roadway safety, enables eligibility for state and federal safety funding (including the Highway Safety Improvement Program), and provides a structured approach to implementing safety projects and improvements. The LRSP aligns with California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance for local roadway safety planning.

DISCUSSION:

A Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is a statewide data-driven traffic safety plan that coordinates the efforts of a wide range of organizations to reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. A Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) is for local and rural roads and addresses unique safety needs in their jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP. Additionally, in the near future, grant opportunities such as Highway Safety Improvement Projects (HSIP) and Vision Zero Action Plans will require a local agency to have a LRSP plan to apply for funding.

On February 1, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to accept a Local Road and Safety Program Grant from the State of California in the amount of $72,000 with an $8,000 city match. A Local Road and Safety Plan (LRSP) provides local and rural agencies the opportunity to address unique safety needs in their jurisdictions to reduce traffic accidents, fatalities, and serious injuries on public roads.

The LRSP uses a data-driven, multi-disciplinary approach to identify safety priorities for City-maintained roadways. Key elements of the plan include:

1. Collision Analysis - Review of historical crash data to identify high-risk corridors, intersections, and roadway segments.

2. Emphasis Areas - Focus on pedestrian safety, bicyclist safety, impaired driving, speed management, and high-collision locations.

3. Proven Countermeasures - Implementation of evidence-based engineering, enforcement, education, and emergency response strategies to mitigate risks.

4. Funding Alignment - Ensures that the City is eligible for HSIP and other state/federal roadway safety grants.

5. Implementation Framework - Prioritization of safety projects based on risk, feasibility, and costeffectiveness; includes mechanisms for tracking progress and updating the plan. 11 Packet Pg. 146

AGENDA ITEM

6. Community Engagement - Input from local stakeholders and agencies ensures that the LRSP reflects local needs and conditions.

Adoption of the LRSP will formalize it as the City of Barstow’s official guidance document for roadway safety, enabling systematic implementation of targeted safety improvements and supporting the City of Barstow’s ongoing commitment to reducing traffic-related injuries and fatalities.

Staff has determined that all the work was found to have been completed in compliance with the requirements set forth in the contract documents. Staff is requesting that the City Council approve final acceptance of the project and approve execution of the attached resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. Funding for the Local Road and Safety Plan (LRSP) was previously approved by the City Council.

The current action is for the adoption of the LRSP and the execution of the associated resolution.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:

1. City Council approve final acceptance of the Local Road and Safety Plan project.

2. City Council formally adopt the Local Road and Safety Plan (Attachment A) by executing Resolution No. __________-2026.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN PAGE 1

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Barstow has developed this Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) to serve as a proactive framework for improving transportation safety across its local roadway network. The plan is guided by the principles of the Federal Highway Administration’s Safe System Approach (SSA), as required under California Senate Bill 932, which emphasizes the elimination of fatal and severe injury collisions through roadway design and operations that anticipate human error, account for human physical limits, and provide multiple layers of protection.

The LRSP also aligns with the California Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), integrating statewide safety priorities with Barstow’s local context and needs. By focusing on systemic safety strategies rather than only historic collision hotspots, the plan enables the City to identify risk factors in advance, target improvements where they will have the greatest impact, and support applications for funding opportunities.

1.1 OVERVIEW
A Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) analyzes collision data, evaluates roadway system conditions, and identifies citywide strategies to improve traffic safety. This document supports the City of Barstow’s ongoing efforts to enhance roadway safety through a systematic, data-driven process. The LRSP framework was established by the State to help local agencies develop safety projects eligible for funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). HSIP funding eligibility requires an LRSP or equivalent safety plan such as a Vision Zero Plan or Systemic Safety Analysis Report.

This report was prepared in accordance with Caltrans LRSP guidelines and the Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM), Version 1.7 (April 2024). The general content of this LRSP includes:
 Collision Data Sources and Analysis: Review of Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS).  Collision Trends: Identify highest-occurring collision types and contributing roadway characteristics.  Traffic Safety Analysis: Comparative analysis using Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) data  Systemic Strategies: Potential countermeasures to address common collision types across the network The LRSP fulfills the following purposes:
 Identify the most frequent collision types and the roadway characteristics contributing to them  Pinpoint corridors and intersections with disproportionately high collision frequencies.  Propose safety countermeasures to address identified issues.

1.2 PROMINENT COLLISION PATTERNS
Five years of collision records were utilized from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023, adhering to the maximum period permitted by the HSIP for a safety infrastructure project application for federal funding. The collisions were categorized by severity, collision type, Primary Collision Factor (PCF), involved parties, lighting conditions, and facility type (intersection and mid-block locations). A total of 1,001 collisions were recorded citywide. The following summarizes the collision patterns within the City:
 The most common collision types were identified in the SWITRS data as broadside, hit object, and rear end.
 The most common PCFs were identified in the SWITRS data as unsafe speed, improper turning, and automobile right of way.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN PAGE 2
o Unsafe speed is evaluated in both the context of posted speed limits and the speed that is considered acceptable for the conditions present. Section 6.2 elaborates on this definition.  Pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle collisions collectively account for 12% of total crashes but 44% of fatal and sever injury (KSI) crashes citywide

1.3 SAFETY MEASURES
The following transportation safety emphasis areas were identified based on the collision data analysis:
 Pedestrian Safety
 Motorcycle Safety
 Bicycle Safety
The LRSP recommends engineering and non-engineering countermeasures that address the emphasis areas derived from the City’s collision patterns. Concerns and recommended modifications were discussed with City staff and key stakeholders, including the Barstow Police Department, Barstow Fire Protection District, Barstow Unified School District, and Caltrans District 8.

Some of the engineering countermeasures recommended include:
 Modernizing signal hardware to include back-plates with retroreflective borders, near-side signals, and updated timing or phasing such as protected left-turns and Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs).  Installing raised pavement markers and refreshed striping through intersections to improve visibility and delineation.
 Constructing new ADA-compliant curb ramps and pedestrian push buttons at signalized and nonsignalized crossings.  Installing Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (HAWKs) at key pedestrian corridors and school crossings.
 Upgrading or extending guardrails and end treatments to meet current standards and reduce roadside severity.
 Implementing systemic stop-control improvements, speed feedback signs, and other roadway visibility enhancements citywide.

Additionally, engineering analysis recommended other safety countermeasures to address high-collision locations throughout the City, listed by safety emphasis area. Funding for engineering countermeasures listed in the LRSP are available from the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), which supports signal upgrades, ADA ramps, signage, and systemic intersection safety improvements.

In addition to the infrastructure modifications mentioned above, non-engineering safety measures address traffic safety concerns through education, encouragement, and enforcement. Several state and federal grant programs offer funds for non-engineering roadway safety projects, as shown below:
 USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All
 Highway Safety Improvement Program
 Active Transportation Program
 Sustainable Communities Grant Program
 Office of Traffic Safety Grants
 Caltrans District Partnership and Local Assistance Programs

2.0 INTRODUCTION
CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN PAGE 3

2.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Barstow has developed this Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) to systematically evaluate and enhance roadway safety through a data-driven framework. Aligned with the California Statewide Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), the LRSP prioritizes both engineering and non-engineering strategies to reduce fatalities and severe injuries. By adopting a proactive, systemic approach that examines network-wide crash patterns and risk factors—rather than focusing solely on high-collision locations, the plan enables costeffective safety improvements across broader geographic areas. The LRSP integrates multimodal safety strategies and the Safe System Approach to advance safety for all roadway users, with particular attention to vulnerable populations and equitable implementation of countermeasures.

2.1 VISION, MISSION, AND GOALS
The LRSP embraces the Vision Zero policy framework, committing to the elimination of traffic-related fatalities and severe injuries in Barstow while ensuring safe mobility for all roadway users and transportation modes. The mission of the LRSP is to identify, analyze and prioritize safety improvements that reduce collisions through systemic changes to infrastructure and policy. The plan’s core goals are to eliminate safety disparities for vulnerable road users through targeted corridor improvements; and apply the Safe System Approach to roadway design, ensuring the system accounts for human error and reduces the severity of collisions when they occur.

2.1.1 SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH
The LRSP employs the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Safe System Approach, as required by Senate Bill 932 (Section 65302(b)(2)(B)(i)). This approach shifts the focus from preventing all collisions to preventing fatal and severe injury outcomes by designing a transportation system that anticipates human error and accommodates human limitations. The Safe System Approach incorporates multiple, overlapping layers of protection—such as speed management and vehicle safety technologies—to reduce the likelihood and severity of crashes. In doing so, the LRSP supports California’s broader multimodal safety goals while tailoring its strategies to Barstow’s local conditions through data-informed, engineering-driven solutions.

2.2 LRSP PROCESS
The LRSP systematically identifies and analyzes roadway safety problems to develop targeted improvements through a collaborative process involving City departments and key stakeholders. The results of the LRSP are summarized with a prioritized list of countermeasures. The LRSP offers a proactive approach to addressing roadway safety needs in Barstow.

The LRSP not only focuses on engineering improvements to reduce the likelihood of collisions but also addresses safety improvements in other areas such as enforcement, education, and emergency services.

Making roadways safer requires the Four E’s of traffic safety (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Services). Working together with the Four E’s at the city level will help make city roads safer.

Additionally, Federal and State agencies have also considered Emerging Technologies and Equity as additional E’s to improve traffic safety. For instance, considering the use of emerging technologies such as “smart” traffic signal equipment can serve to connect vehicles and traffic control systems to enhance traffic safety. Also, investing in safety projects in neighborhoods that have higher rates of fatal and severe collisions relative to the rest of the city will ensure that safety planning and implementation is equitably distributed across the agency’s jurisdiction.

CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN PAGE 4

2.2.1 FREQUENTLY USED TERMS
The LRSP analysis is based largely on data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS).

Collisions are entered into this database and classified by severity, Primary Collision Factor, and collision type.

Collision severity types, in order of least severe to most severe, are Property Damage Only (PDO), Complaint of Pain, Visible Injury, Severe Injury, and Fatality. Collision severity is classified by the most severe outcome of anyone involved in the collision; for example, if six people are involved in a collision, with five experiencing a complaint of pain but with one experiencing a severe injury, the collision would be classified as a Severe Injury collision.

Primary Collision Factor (PCF) is the factor deemed to be most responsible for the collision. Although collisions often have multiple contributing factors, a collision reported in SWITRS will only have one PCF. Examples of PCFs include unsafe speed, automobile right-of-way violation, and improper turning. A full glossary of PCF terms is included as Appendix A.

Collision type refers to the manner in which the vehicles collided. Examples include rear end, sideswipe, and broadside.

SWITRS data also includes other information such as movements preceding collision, time of day, lighting/weather conditions, and whether the collision was a hit-and-run incident.

2.3 CITY OF BARSTOW
Barstow is an incorporated city in San Bernardino County, California. According to the 2020 US Census, Barstow had a population of 25,415. Based on the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database, from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023, a total of 1,729 collisions occurred in the City of Barstow, inclusive of both City streets and State highways within the City. Out of these collisions, 69 resulted in fatal or severe injuries. For this LRSP, collisions on State Routes 58 (SR-58) and 247 (SR-247), as well as Interstates 15 (I-15) and 40 (I-40) were excluded as they are not in the immediate jurisdiction of the City of Barstow. Collisions occurring on city roadways at state highway on/off ramp locations were included in the analysis. Once highway collisions are excluded, the resulting total number of collisions is reduced to 1,001. However, the number of collisions resulting in fatal or severe injuries remains unchanged, revealing that 100% of fatal and severe collisions that occurred during the analysis period happened on local streets and not on state or interstate highways.

The City of Barstow has made significant investments in recent years towards improving roadway safety for travelers within the City. In addition to regular maintenance and repaving of existing streets, a number of new projects have taken place, with more currently underway. These efforts include enhanced crosswalks with Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), improved bicycle facilities, pedestrian gap closures, and traffic signal improvements.

2.4 LRSP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
The following sections include a brief description of the tasks associated with the development of this LRSP, with a more detailed description of each task in subsequent sections of this document. Figure 2.1 and Figure

2.4.2 SAFETY DATA ANALYSIS
Following collection of spatial and contextual data, the collision data was analyzed for Barstow. Collisions were compared to the safety emphasis areas as defined in the California SHSP. The safety data analysis is summarized in Section 4 of this document. The transportation emphasis areas are identified based on the collision data analysis and are discussed in Section 5 of this document.

2.4.3 IDENTIFY SAFETY MEASURES
In coordination with City staff, a list of engineering-related safety countermeasures and non-engineering safety measures were developed for use as recommendations in this LRSP. These countermeasures are discussed in Section 6 and Section 7 of this document.

2.4.4 CALCULATE BENEFIT/COST RATIOS
To better contextualize and prioritize the recommended countermeasures, potential collision reduction benefit totals were calculated for each countermeasure based on citywide collision data. This information would be used to help prioritize recommended countermeasures, as well as to support a Benefit/Cost Ratio component of a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding application. These safety projects are discussed in Section 8 of this document.

2.5 EXISTING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS
As part of the preparation for this LRSP, existing planning documents for the City of Barstow were evaluated to determine how existing City policy addresses roadway safety.

2.5.1 CITY OF BARSTOW GENERAL PLAN (2015)
The City of Barstow General Plan establishes goals and policies consistent with the City’s vision and defines specific actions to achieve the community’s objectives. The defining principle of the General Plan Vision Statement is focused on protecting and enhancing existing neighborhoods, as well as establishing newly developed land uses designated to better serve current residents, attract new residents to the community, and provide a wider range of employment opportunities.

CIRCULATION ELEMENT
The Circulation Element provides a comprehensive overview of the transportation infrastructure and trends within the City of Barstow, while also informing strategic transportation planning efforts. The Element mentions high rates of bicycling and walking being present throughout the City, suggesting the need for infrastructure supporting active transportation. Strategies for addressing this need include connecting discontinuous sidewalks and installing a network of bicycle routes, including at least one segment of Class I bikeway. The following policies covering non-motorized transportation are included in the Circulation Element:
 Policy 3.A: Encourage pedestrian travel by improving the means by which residents and visitors may walk throughout the community.
o Strategy 3.A.1: An inventory of discontinuous sidewalks on all qualifying roadways shall be compiled and individual improvement projects shall be funded through the Capital Improvement Program to connect these sidewalks.
o Strategy 3.A.2: Install pedestrian enhancements along and in the vicinity of the route of the Old Spanish Trail.
 Policy 3.B: Establish a network of bicycle routes.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN PAGE 10
o Strategy 3.B.1: Endeavor to designate and install at least one segment of Class 1 bikeway (i.e. separate pathway running parallel to existing roadway) within the 2015 – 2020 time horizon of the General Plan.
o Strategy 3.B.2: Provide striping of Class 2 bikeways. o Strategy 3.B.3: Install signage along routes designated as Class 3 bikeways.

LAND USE ELEMENT
The Land Use Element establishes the vision of Barstow for its long‐term land development. It mentions how most expected growth during the General Plan timeline (2015-2020) will consist of infill development already served by existing roadways, with pedestrian and/or bicycle pathways integrated into developments designated as residential. At the same time, the Element also includes the following guideline regarding possible annexation of unincorporated lands:
 Strategy 6.A.2: Expand circulation and public utilities infrastructure to enhance the feasibility of annexation of the remainder of Barstow Heights at the earliest feasible date beyond the 2020 General Plan horizon date.

2.5.2 BARSTOW ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN (ATP) (2018)
The Barstow Active Transportation Plan (ATP) was adopted in 2018 to improve the overall walking and bicycling environment of the City. Goals of the Plan include expanding the safety and efficiency of the current circulation network, improving traffic flow and air quality by implementing facilities designed to encourage non-motorized transportation, and outlining the community-wide benefits of active transportation through education and outreach.

EDUCATIONAL SAFETY PROGRAMS
The Plan includes a supplemental Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan, which aims to make improvements regarding the safety, well-being, and health of youth by making walking or bicycling to school more accessible.

School-based educational programs recommended by the SRTS Plan include bicycle rodeos, walk/bike to school days, and enforcement campaigns. Beyond children’s education, the Plan recommends a pedestrian education campaign where posters/signs related to speeding and yielding to pedestrians can be placed around the community, as well as bicycle safety and repair training for all ages. Educating law enforcement officers on new regulations that impact walking and biking is also encouraged.

IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING FACILITIES
The Plan identifies a ranked list of corridors throughout the City that require improvements to their active transportation-related infrastructure. These corridors were ranked by greatest improvement need and were judged on criteria such as number of schools present, number of residents who walk/bike to work, and number of bike/pedestrian-related collisions. It is the goal of the Plan that these corridors link together to form a complete network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Figure 2.5 illustrates the proposed bicycle facilities identified in the Barstow ATP.

bicycle, and public transportation travel. Proposed implementations include the creation of a Class I bicycle pathway along the east side of Spanish Trail Parkway connecting to the citywide bicycle network, as well as designating the proposed axis of the internal roadway network, Armijo Drive, as a Class III bicycle route. City sidewalks within the specific plan area will additionally be augmented by an interpretive pathway approximately one-quarter mile in length that intersects with a linear pedestrian pathway on the eastern periphery of the project area.

BARSTOW INTERNATIONAL GATEWAY PROJECT
The Barstow International Gateway Project calls for the construction of a master-planned integrated rail facility on the west side of the City of Barstow. This facility will allow shipping containers arriving to/from the Ports of Long Beach/Los Angeles via the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) mainline to be processed and shipped either east or west more efficiently. The intended goal of the Project is reducing the need for inefficient truck trips, which can positively impact Barstow residents by removing large trucks from the roadway and minimizing the risk of collisions with non-vehicular road users. The proposed Project area, located west of the City’s main downtown area on undeveloped land, was similarly chosen to reduce the risk of collisions between trucks and residents.

3.0 METHODOLOGY
This section describes the methodology involved in collision analysis and countermeasure recommendation.

3.1 COLLISION DATA SOURCES
Collision data was collected for all citywide collision trends between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2023, from the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database. The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), which tracks safety trends statewide, contributed collision summaries for the years 2020 through 2022 for Barstow and cities in California with a similar population.

3.1.1 SWITRS
The California Highway Patrol’s SWITRS collects and processes data on reported collisions throughout the State of California. The online SWITRS application provides geographically and temporally targeted collision reports in an electronic format. SWITRS was used to evaluate data on collisions in the City of Barstow between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2023, both in aggregate and classified by control type (signalized, non-signalized, and mid-block locations).

The SWITRS dataset is hierarchical, and is composed of three tables, Collision, Party, and Victim. The Collisions table contains information on each collision, with only one entry per collision. The Party tables contain information from all parties involved in the collision, one line per party. Parties are the major players in traffic collisions - drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and parked vehicles. The information includes personal descriptors and vehicle descriptors. The Victim table contains information about the people associated with each party. For example, a collision where both a driver and their passenger were injured will have separate entries for each victim in the Victim table. Injury severity is included in the Collision and Victim tables.

Collision analysis for the LRSP includes information primarily from the Collision and Party tables. If there is a specific need, information from the Victim tables will be aggregated to the Party or Collision level as required.

3.1.2 OTS
The OTS Safety Rankings compare traffic safety statistics among cities in California with similar populations, with a focus on the number of collisions where people are killed or seriously injured (KSI). Cities can use these comparisons to see the areas in which they are improving traffic safety outcomes, and where they can make improvements. It is important to note that the OTS Safety Rankings use a count of collisions, not individual people, when creating their rankings. Unless specifically noted, this report will use the same approach, referring to the number of collisions that have occurred.

3.2 STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH
In addition to using analytical methods to identify locations for treatments and make recommendations, the LRSP also focuses on partnerships with the community to give input into this process and provide feedback on areas that the LRSP should focus on. Stakeholders were contacted after completing the initial collision analysis but before selecting emphasis areas or specific infrastructure improvements or programs. Stakeholders were asked to provide feedback about traffic safety issues they have observed through their work and possible approaches to resolving these issues. For the Barstow LRSP, feedback was provided by Barstow Police Department (BPD), Barstow Street Committee (BSC), Barstow Unified School District (BUSD), Caltrans (District 8), Barstow Fire Protection District (BFPD), Barstow Community College (BCC), and Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA). This outreach group served as an advisory committee to inform the LRSP team about other

roadway safety issues they were aware of but did not necessarily arise from collision data analysis alone.

3.3 IDENTIFYING LOCATIONS FOR ENGINEERING COUNTERMEASURES Collision data analysis for this LRSP was conducted using collision data from the SWITRS collision database. The collision records include a variety of information about each collision, including the location, date, time of the day, collision type, collision severity, primary violation category, transportation mode of the involved parties, and movement of the involved parties prior to the collision. Per California state law, motor vehicle collisions must be reported when vehicle or property damage exceeds $1,000, or when any of the parties suffer an injury or fatality. Traffic collisions that had little or no property damage and no apparent injuries are often not reported; even though they do occur, they are not entered into SWITRS and are not reflected in the analysis.

Caltrans’ Local Roadway Safety, A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners, Version 1.7, April 2024 (LRSM) encourages a pro-active, rather than reactive, approach to safety issue identification. Traditionally, agencies using a reactive approach have located and implemented safety projects solely based on recent collisions, specific collision concentrations, or safety issues raised by stakeholders. A pro-active approach is preferred, according to the LRSM, because with traditional methods, “collision concentrations and collision trends may be missed if local agencies rely exclusively on these identifiers for their roadway safety effort.” A proactive approach would identify safety improvements by analyzing the safety of the entire roadway network. For this document, the process for identifying candidate locations for safety improvements considers any of the following three factors:
 An extensive collision history at high-collision frequency locations providing insight into which roadway characteristics are associated with certain types of collisions.  Professional engineering judgment regarding the availability of feasible engineering countermeasures to address identified safety issues.
 Applicability of the engineering countermeasures at other locations with roadway characteristics associated with similar types of collisions regardless of their collision history.

Locations that conform to one or more of the three factors above can be considered "high-risk" for the purposes of the LRSP's analysis; “risk” is assessed within the context of all locations within Barstow. This does not discount the fact that other individual behaviors of a roadway can also contribute to increased risk when driving, riding or walking. The LRSM guidelines require analyzing at least three to five years of the most recent collision data. Five years-worth of collision data from January 2019 to December 2023 was reviewed for the Barstow LRSP. Five years of collision data usage adheres to the maximum threshold permitted by HSIP for a safety infrastructure project application for federal funding.

3.3.1 RANKING FUNCTION
A candidate intersection or roadway segment for safety improvements does not necessarily need to demonstrate a history of high or severe collisions to be considered for further evaluation. However, locations with high numbers of collisions are often good starting points for safety analysis due to the rich information provided by the collision history. Three ranking methods were utilized to identify high collision frequency intersections and roadway segments: Average Collision Frequency, Collision Rate, and Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) scores. A brief description of each of the methods is provided in the following sections.

3.3.2 AVERAGE COLLISION FREQUENCY
Average Collision Frequency is the most basic method for assessing collision incidence. The analysis tallies the

Packet Pg. 172 Attachment: Barstow_LRSP_FINAL_(Attachment A) (6232 : Resolution to Adopt the City's Local Roads and Safety Program (LRSP))

3.0 METHODOLOGY
CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN PAGE 16
numbers of collisions at each location in the roadway network, both in aggregate and by a category of interest (e.g. level of severity, collision type, and others). The analysis then ranks intersections or roadway segments based on the collisions’ frequency.

3.3.3 COLLISION RATE
The Collision Rate method goes a step beyond average collision frequency, normalizing facilities’ collision frequency by the amount of vehicle traffic or travel. This method divides the number of collisions (or collisions in a particular category) by the quantity of Million Entering Vehicles (for intersections) or 100 Million Vehicle Miles Traveled (for roadway segments). While the Collision Rate method accounts for differences in facilities’ length and traffic volume, it may instead unduly favor low-volume and low-collision roadways where countermeasures produce the lowest net benefit for the largest number of roadway users. Collision rates are typically normalized using automobile traffic volumes or VMT; bicycle and pedestrian volumes (or accurate estimates) are often not available across the majority of intersections in most cities.

3.4 PROPOSING ENGINEERING COUNTERMEASURES
After ranking intersections and roadway segments based on collision frequency and severity, the following steps were taken to identify and propose appropriate engineering countermeasures:
 Develop citywide collision maps to visualize concentrations of broadside, rear-end, pedestrian, bicycle, and unsafe speed-related collisions. Locations with high crash density by type are prioritized for further evaluation.
 Analyze collision records, including movement prior to collision, primary collision factor (PCF), lighting conditions, and involved parties. Special attention was given to nighttime crashes, vulnerable road user incidents, and crashes involving visibility or turning conflicts.  Reviewed fatal and severe injury collisions through available SWITRS data, including reviewing narratives and details where accessible to assess contributing roadway or behavioral factors.  Conduct field visits to high-collision locations to assess traffic control devices, signal visibility, crosswalk placement, intersection geometry, and driveway access.
 Review current conditions and recent historical conditions via Google Map Street View, whenever necessary, to check whether any geometry, signal, or signage changes have been made in the past few years.
 Use the CMF Clearinghouse and Safe System principles to screen and match countermeasures with observed collision patterns and roadway configurations.  Compared lower-volume intersections that share geometric or operational characteristics with highcrash sites to identify proactive locations for systemic countermeasures.

3.3.4 EPDO SCORES
EPDO scores assign weighting factors to collisions by severity relative to property damage only (PDO) collisions. The weight generally reflects an order of magnitude difference between the cost of fatal/severe injury collisions and non-severe injury collisions. The weights by collision severity come from the 2024 Local Roadway Safety Manual.

Table 3.1: Collision Values and EPDO Score
Collision Severity Location Type Collision Cost EPDO Score Value Fatality (K) and Severe Injury (A)
Signalized Intersection $2,162,000 119.93
Non-Signalized Intersection $3,440,000 190.81
Combined (KA) Roadway $2,978,000 165.17
Evident Injury - Other Visible (B) $193,000 10.73
Possible Injury–Complaint of Pain (C) $110,000 6.10
Property Damage Only (O) $18,000 1.00
Source: Appendix D of the Caltrans LRSM, 2024
EPDO scores are useful for a benefit-to-cost analysis as collision costs can be translated into measurable benefits from installing improvements that reduce the collisions in question. However, EPDO scores may place undue weight on the injury outcomes of previous collisions rather than overall trends suggested by collision patterns regardless of injury outcome. Furthermore, a location’s EPDO score could be inflated by a fatal or severe collision caused by Driving Under the Influence (DUI), which may not be related to the collision location's safety risk factors (i.e. high-speed arterial or blind curve), traffic safety infrastructure or other contributing factors in the collision.

4.0 SYSTEMIC SAFETY ANALYSIS – COLLISION TREND AND PATTERNS Collision data from the California Highway Patrol’s SWITRS database was reviewed to evaluate the City of Barstow’s collision trends for a five-year period between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2023. Additionally, the California OTS data from 2017 to 2022 was reviewed.

4.1 TOTAL COLLISIONS AND KSI COLLISIONS
The collision trend analysis draws from five years of data obtained from the SWITRS database. From January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023, a total of 1,729 collisions occurred within the City of Barstow, including both City streets and state highways. However, for this analysis, the collisions are only reported for local streets, as state highways fall outside the City’s immediate jurisdiction. When excluding collisions on SR-58, SR-247, I-15, and I40, a total of 1,001 collisions occurred on local streets, 69 of which resulted in fatal or severe injuries.

Overall, collision totals remained relatively consistent between 2019 and 2023 as illustrated in Figure 4.1 Starting in 2022, collisions declined to a larger degree, by 34%, and again increased slightly in 2023 by 3%.

Over this period, automobile collisions showed variability, with an increase in 2021 of 14%, followed by a notable decrease in 2022, as shown in Figure 4.2.

Collision data for 2020 may have been affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, between December 2019 and December 2020, travel in California dropped by nearly 66%.1 Furthermore, collisions resulting in injury or fatality dropped 42% statewide when comparing March 2019 to March 2020 after restrictions were enacted.2 Due to this, there is less emphasis placed on time-series analysis of the data, and a reduction in collisions should not be wholly attributed to recently implemented countermeasures alone, especially for 2020.

Figure 4.3 highlights pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, and truck-involved collisions per year. Pedestrian collisions exhibited variability, with a significant decrease between 2019 and 2020 (a decline of 60%), followed by a sharp increase in 2023, which reached a five-year high. Bicycle collisions trended downward, with no reported incidents in 2023, marking a 100% decrease compared to 2019. Motorcycle collisions remained relatively steady, with minor fluctuations, showing a slight increase between 2019 and 2021, followed by stable figures in 2022 and 2023. Lastly, Truck collisions followed a general decline over the five-year period, decreasing by 85% from 2019 to 2023.

Figure 4.4 illustrates the total number of traffic injuries and deaths over the five-year period. The number of injuries showed variability rather than a steady decline, with visible injuries remaining consistent between 12 and 16 collisions annually. However, complaints of pain dropped significantly from 28 collisions in 2019 to 12 in 2023, representing a 57% decrease. Property damage-only collisions also experienced a decline, dropping from 177 incidents in 2019 to 121 in 2023, a 32% reduction. In comparison, the number of deaths and severe injuries over the same period were less predictable. Fatal collisions fluctuated, with only three collisions in 2020, but peaked in 2023 at six collisions.

Figure 4.5 illustrates the percentage of fatal and severe injury (KSI) collisions relative to the share of all collisions by mode, illustrating that more vulnerable road users – such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists – are disproportionately represented in severe and fatal collisions compared to their overall collisions rate. Pedestrians account for 7% of all collisions but 41% of KSI collisions, while bicyclists represent 1% of all collisions and 3% of KSI collisions. Motorcyclists make up 3% of all collisions and 12% of KSI collisions, whereas automobiles comprise 85% of all collisions and 45% of KSI collisions. While automobile collisions dominate the overall crash data, their lower proportional share of KSI incidents suggests that vehicle occupants benefit from greater protection. These results highlight the disproportionate severity of collisions involving pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists compared to other road users.

Figure 4.6 summarizes all collisions by type, as well as each collision type’s share of KSI collisions. Even though broadside collisions are the most frequent collision type, accounting for approximately 32% of the total collisions, it represents only a 5% share of the KSI collisions. Hit object collisions follow closely, making up 27% of total collisions, but also only 5% of KSI collisions. Rear-end (22%) and Sideswipe (18%) collisions, although have similar frequency in overall collisions, both have a rate of 1% KSI, suggesting less severe outcomes.

Collision types with a higher share of KSI collisions include head-on (10% KSI), vehicle/pedestrian (32% KSI), and overturned (22% KSI) collisions. Most notably, vehicle/pedestrian collisions, which account for only 10% of total collisions, contribute to 32% of all KSI collisions, making them the most severe crash type. Overturned crashes also show a significant disparity, with only 2% of total crashes but 22% of KSI collisions.

Figure 4.7 summarizes all collisions by Primary Collision Factor (PCF), as well as each factor’s share of KSI collisions. PCF is the one element or driving action that best describes the primary or main cause of the collision, based on the conclusion of the responding officer after completing the investigation and preparing the report. Among all collisions, Unsafe Speed (29%), Improper Turning (17%), Automobile Right-of-Way (14%), and Traffic Signal and Signs (8%) were the top four primary collision factors.

However, when comparing the share of total collisions to the share of collisions where a person was killed or severely injured (KSI), several concerns stand out. If the level of risk for all roadway users was equal, it would be expected that the share of KSI collisions would be equal for various PCFs, regardless of mode. However, since non-automotive roadway users are more vulnerable to injury and death than those in vehicles (due to the presence of multiple safety systems in most vehicles, including seatbelts, airbags, and the vehicle frame and body which absorb impact forces), some PCFs will carry a higher share of KSI collisions versus all collisions.

Pedestrian violation collisions comprise only 4% of all collisions, but are 23% of KSI collisions, indicating that there is a higher risk of injury or death for people walking. This is worth noting because pedestrian collisions only occur when they come into conflict with vehicles within the roadway. Vehicle paths of travel are entirely within the roadway, where they primarily conflict with other automobiles, motorcycles, or bicycles.

Other factors such as driving or bicycling under the influence (7% of total crashes, 1% of KSI crashes), traffic signal and sign violations (8% of total crashes, 6% of KSI crashes), and unsafe starting or backing (3% of total crashes, 1% of KSI crashes) appear to have relatively lower risks of severe outcomes.

Of the top four collision types (broadside, hit-object, rear-end, and sideswipe), the main causes of these types of collisions are summarized in Figure 4.8. The leading primary collision factor (PCF) overall is Unsafe Speed, accounting for 29% of all crashes, particularly dominant in rear-end (53%) and hit-object (40%) collisions.

Improper Turning is the second most common PCF, contributing to 17% of all crashes and playing a key role in sideswipe (32%) and broadside (17%) collisions. Automobile Right-of-Way violations make up 14% of all collisions and are the primary cause of broadside crashes (38%). Driving or bicycling under the influence appears in 7% of all collisions and is consistently present across all four top collision types, reinforcing its ongoing role in traffic incidents. Traffic Signal and Sign violations account for 8% of all crashes and are a significant factor in broadside collisions (23%), suggesting a need for improved intersection control measures.

Additionally, right-of-way violations and improper turning movements appear across multiple collision types, highlighting the need for targeted interventions such as improved signage, striping, and enforcement strategies. In Figure 4.8, PCF categories highlighted in color are present across multiple collision types, indicating common behaviors that may require countermeasure approaches focusing on driver decisionmaking.

Figure 4.9 assesses lighting conditions for all collisions and KSI collisions. Most collisions occur during daylight (560 collisions); however, only 4% of these result in KSI collisions. Collisions that occur in dark conditions with streetlights (324 collisions) have a higher likelihood of being severe, with 14% resulting in KSI collisions.

Similarly, collisions in dark conditions without streetlights (64 collisions) account for 7% of KSI collisions.

Dusk/dawn conditions (42 collisions) also show a 4% KSI rate. Notably, there were no reported KSI collisions in areas where streetlights were not functioning or where lighting conditions were not stated. The data suggests that while the highest number of collisions occur in daylight, the risk of severe injury or fatality is elevated in dark conditions, particularly in areas with streetlights.

4.2 COLLISIONS BY FACILITY TYPE
Collision patterns by facility type (intersections vs. mid-block locations) were analyzed by using SWITRS data from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023. This analysis was used to determine the effect of access control and intersection geometry on collision frequency. Intersections are defined as crossing points involving streets, alleyways, or signalized commercial driveways. The analysis classifies collisions by facility type as follows:
 Collisions that occur within 150 feet of an intersection are considered intersection collisions.  Collisions that occur more than 150 feet away from an intersection are classified as mid-block collisions.

Table 4.1 shows the total number of collisions associated with each type of facility. Between 2019-2023, 80% of Barstow’s reported collisions occurred within 150 feet of an intersection, while the remaining 20% took place at mid-block locations.

and 73% of pedestrian collisions occurring at intersections.

Notably, pedestrians experienced a relatively higher share of mid-block collisions (27% of pedestrian incidents) compared to bicyclists (9% of bicycle incidents). This overall distribution indicates that intersections represent the predominant collision location for all road users, while mid-block locations remain an area of concern particularly for pedestrians.

Table 4.2 shows how the collision type share varies by location. Broadside collisions comprise the largest share of collisions at intersections (28%), followed by hit object (19%) and rear-end (16%) collisions. At mid-block locations, hit object collisions are most prevalent (27%), with rear-end (21%) and sideswipe (13%) collisions representing the second- and third-largest categories. Vehicle/pedestrian collisions account for similar proportions at both intersections (7%) and mid-block locations (8%), while overturned collisions occur more frequently mid-block (3%) than at intersections (1%).

Table 4.3 tabulates the PCFs by facility type. Unsafe speed was the most common factor citywide, representing 28% of intersection collisions and 33% of mid-block collisions. At intersections, the most frequent PCFs were unsafe speed, improper turning (18%), automobile right-of-way violations (16%), and traffic signal and sign violations (9%). At mid-block locations, unsafe speed, improper turning (17%), and DUI (9%) comprised the largest categories. Traffic signal and sign violations occurred almost exclusively at intersections, while DUIrelated collisions showed a more even distribution between intersection and mid-block segments. Pedestrian

Broadside collisions were the most prevalent collision type, accounting for nearly one-quarter (25%) of all reported collisions. This type of collision is commonly associated with right-of-way violations, unsafe turning movements, and failure to observe traffic controls—conditions often concentrated at intersections and complex conflict points. Table 4.5 indicates that intersections were the predominant setting for broadside collisions, with 220 recorded incidents. Of these, 37% were attributed to Automobile Right-of-Way (Auto ROW) violations, while mid-block locations, though fewer in number (27 incidents), exhibited a higher proportion (48%) of Auto ROW-related collisions.

While less frequent than right-of-way violations, left-turn movements were associated with 20% of intersection broadside collisions and 26% of mid-block broadside collisions. These movements represent a recurring conflict type across both facility types. The observed patterns suggest that intersection control, signal timing, and access management strategies remain critical to reducing broadside collision risk within Barstow’s roadway network.

4.3 CITY OF BARSTOW – SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY COMPARISON
SWITRS data was extracted for all of San Bernardino County using the same five-year period (2019–2023) to analyze trends in Fatal and Severe Injury in the City of Barstow compared to the rest of San Bernardino County.

In order to make a meaningful comparison of the two datasets, collisions on all highways were excluded from the San Bernardino County data, as they were for City data. Highway speeds and operating conditions are significantly different from those on local roadways, with fewer turning movements, bicycle and pedestrian prohibitions, and an overall higher design and travel speed.

As shown in Table 4.6, between 2019 and 2023, the City of Barstow had a total of 1,001 collisions on City streets. With a 2020 population of 25,415, this amounts to 39,386 collisions per million residents per year over the five-year period. In comparison, San Bernardino County recorded a total of 79,777 collisions during the

same period, at a rate of 36,567 collisions per million residents per year. Although Barstow’s collision rate is only slightly higher than the countywide average, this is significant given the city's smaller size and lower vehicle miles traveled. A rate comparable to a large, diverse county suggests a disproportionate number of traffic incidents, highlighting potential roadway safety concerns.

San Bernardino County has a lower percentage of KSI collisions than the City of Barstow (311 vs. 543). However, the share of pedestrian-involved KSI collisions was slightly lower in the County (29.8%) compared to Barstow (37.3%). Conversely, bicycle-related KSI collisions were more prevalent in Barstow (18%) than Countywide (14%), likely due to roadway conditions that present higher risks for cyclists. Factors such as wide arterial roads, limited designated bicycle infrastructure, and high-speed traffic corridors contribute to these elevated risks.

Table 4.7 focuses on the distribution of KSI collisions in San Bernardino County and Barstow. Barstow also has a greater proportion of fatal KSI collisions (6.9% vs. 4.3%) and a slightly higher percentage of severe injuries (7.6% vs. 3.0%) compared to the County. Additionally, pedestrian-related collisions account for a larger share of KSI incidents in Barstow (37%) than in the County (30%), and bicycle-related KSI collisions make up 18% of incidents in Barstow, exceeding the County's 14%. These figures indicate that while pedestrian and bicycle collisions represent a smaller portion of overall crashes, they pose a historically higher risk of fatal or severe injury in Barstow compared to the broader County.

Table 4.8 compares the distribution of collision types on local roads (2019-2023). Relative to the County, Barstow shows lower shares of broadside and rear-end collisions and higher shares of head-on, hit-object, and vehicle/pedestrian collisions—indicating more roadway-departure/segment conflicts and greater pedestrian involvement, even though intersections remain the predominant crash context. The Difference column (Barstow count as a % of County count) reinforces this pattern: vehicle/pedestrian presents the highest relative contribution (3.1%), while most other types cluster around 1–2%. Read alongside Table 4.8, these results point to prioritizing speed management, centerline/edge delineation and access control on key segments, and high visibility/protected crossings at locations with concentrated pedestrian risk.

5.0 TRANSPORTATION SAFETY EMPHASIS AREAS
CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN PAGE 36

5.0 TRANSPORTATION SAFETY EMPHASIS AREAS
Transportation safety emphasis areas provide a strategic framework for developing and implementing the LRSP. The emphasis areas provide the City of Barstow with areas to focus on when developing projects and programs based on the LRSP. The implementation of the emphasis areas should directly relate to the goals, policies, and strategies of the LRSP.

Based on the collision data analysis and trends in the OTS rankings, the following transportation safety emphasis areas were identified:
 Pedestrian Safety
 Motorcycle Safety
 Bicyclist Safety
According to Table 5.1, the 2019-2023 collision data show concerns of high KSI rates for pedestrians and motorcyclists similar to OTS’s comparison in Table 4.10. While the previous table compared to similar sized cities, Table 5.1 compares to the entire state of California for an additional perspective of Barstow’s roadway safety. When comparing to the statewide rates, Bicyclist KSI rates also rise to the top, inferring that Barstow’s emphasis areas should focus on Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), users who rely on transportation modes aside of the vehicle. While Intersection-related collisions are very common in Barstow, KSI rates are lower compared to statewide KSI rates for intersection collisions.

5.1 PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
Pedestrian-involved collisions are a concerning issue at multiple locations throughout the City. Despite accounting for only 7% of total recorded cases, collisions in this category make up approximately 40% of all KSI collisions recorded during the study period. As shown in Figure 5.1, many of these KSI collisions took place at intersections found along major corridors and on smaller neighborhood streets. As with collisions involving unsafe speeds, both Figures 5.1 and 5.2 also reveal a high number of pedestrian-involved collisions along Main Street.

5.4 MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
Similar to pedestrian-involved collisions, motorcycle collisions were also overrepresented in the KSI category.

Although accounting for 3% of total collisions, these cases made up 12% of collisions resulting in a fatality or serious injury. Note that about half of all motorcycle collisions were associated with Unsafe Speeds as a PCF.

Figures 5.3 and 5.4 confirm that most motorcycle-involved collisions are categorized KSI and took place at a variety of locations ranging from the Main Street corridor to smaller intersections located in neighborhoods.

5.5 BICYCLIST DRIVER SAFETY
Collisions involving bicyclists saw a slight overrepresentation in their share of total KSI collisions compared to total overall collisions (3% vs. 1%, respectively). While bicyclist collisions are relatively few in number, they have a high risk of resulting in KSI, similar to pedestrian and motorcyclist collisions. Both Figure 5.5 and 5.6 reveal a high concentration of collisions (both KSI and non-KSI) along Main Street.

6.0 ENGINEERING COUNTERMEASURES
CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN PAGE 43

6.0 ENGINEERING COUNTERMEASURES
The City of Barstow has made ongoing efforts to improve roadway safety, particularly focused on reducing severe and fatal collisions involving vulnerable road users. Multiple pursuits have been secured through California’s Active Transportation (ATP) and federal HSIP opportunities.

6.1 EXISTING PROJECTS AND CONTEXT
Some existing locations identified by the City that are slated for improvements:
 East Main Street & Yucca Avenue: systemic intersection improvements  Barstow Road & Rimrock Road: systemic intersection improvements, and left-turn phasing implementation at the signal (with Caltrans assistance)  Main Street, from Muriel Drive to Yucca Avenue: active transportation improvements Note that since these locations are already identified for improvements, they are not included in this LRSP as showcase projects.

The recommended engineering countermeasures (physical or operational improvements made in the public right of way to enhance transportation safety) build upon ongoing safety efforts and aim to address the most common collision patterns identified in Barstow from 2019 to 2023, based on a comprehensive analysis of SWITRS data:
 Rear-end collisions due to unsafe speeds
 Sideswipe collisions due to improper turning or passing  Broadside collisions due to automobile right-of-way violations  Broadside collisions due to failure to obey traffic signals and signs  Hit-object collisions due to improper passing
Countermeasure recommendations are targeted at intersections and unsafe speeds, the most common facility type, and the most common PCF associated with Barstow’s collisions. Countermeasures focusing on Safety Emphasis Areas as established in Section 5 are also included. Safety countermeasures should be seen as a toolkit of potential countermeasures for their corresponding category. Their applicability for specific locations will depend on the following:
 Physical context
 Collision severity
 Involved parties, especially bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists  Primary collision factors
 Movements of the involved parties preceding the occurrence of the collision Each toolkit table summarizes each countermeasure’s applicable collision types, collision reduction factor (CRF), project life of the recommended improvement, maximum federal reimbursement percentage, and the opportunity for a systemic approach. The project life is used to estimate the number of collisions to include in Benefit-Cost Ratio (e.g. a project life of 20 years would mean that the number of collisions estimated to occur in a 20-year time frame should be included in the benefit calculation).

The countermeasure numbers (far left column) in Table 6.1 represent the ID number for the types of improvements that are eligible for HSIP funding. Throughout this document, countermeasures eligible for HSIP funding will have the ID number, and those that are not eligible will not have an ID number.

6.1 PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLIST SAFETY

6.1.1 COLLISION TRENDS AND PATTERNS
While pedestrian-involved collisions comprised only 7% of total collisions in Barstow, they accounted for 41% of fatal and severe injury (KSI) collisions. Of these collisions, approximately 49% were attributed to pedestrian violations, while 24% were caused by drivers failing to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, with the remainder associated with other driver-related factors. Bicycle-involved collisions represented just 1% of all reported collisions, yet they accounted for nearly 3% of KSI collisions. Most bicycle collisions (91%) occurred at intersections, with broadside and sideswipe crashes being the most common patterns.

SWITRS data on pedestrian-involved collisions is limited by the way these crashes are categorized. Unlike other collisions, which may be coded with a wide range of Primary Collision Factors (PCFs) such as unsafe speed, DUI, or improper turning, all pedestrian-involved collisions are classified under either “pedestrian violation” (indicating the pedestrian was at fault) or “pedestrian right-of-way violation” (indicating the driver was at fault).

Similarly, all pedestrian-involved collisions are grouped into the “vehicle-pedestrian” collision type. This categorization simplifies the typical range of PCF and collision type information and limits the availability of secondary details that could provide additional context to individual crashes.

6.1.2 COUNTERMEASURE RECOMMENDATIONS
Countermeasures to address pedestrian safety should focus on increasing visibility both at intersections and mid-block crossings, create delineated spaces within roadways and intersections for pedestrians, and make geometric changes to intersections when necessary to place pedestrians in a safer position that reduces movement conflicts with vehicles. Table 6.1 describes these countermeasures.

6.2 UNSAFE SPEEDS

6.2.1 COLLISION TRENDS AND PATTERNS
The most common combination of collision type and Primary Collision Factor (PCF) in Barstow are rear-end collisions due to unsafe speeds. Among collisions with unsafe speed as the primary factor, hit-object collisions were the second most frequent, followed by smaller shares of sideswipe, broadside, and head-on crashes.

Overall, unsafe speed was the leading factor citywide, contributing to nearly one-third of all reported collisions between 2019 and 2023. These patterns highlight the role of excessive or inappropriate speeds in both highfrequency crashes such as rear-ends and in more severe outcomes such as head-on collision.

6.2.2 COUNTERMEASURE RECOMMENDATIONS
Reduction in unsafe speed-related collisions can be achieved through countermeasures that calm traffic, increase driver reaction time, and create physical protections from objects and other vehicles. Table 6.2 describes these countermeasures.

6.3 INTERSECTION SAFETY

6.3.1 COLLISION TRENDS AND PATTERNS
Broadside collisions are the most prevalent crash type at intersections in Barstow, accounting for 220 crashes (28% of all intersection collisions). They are most commonly associated with Automobile Right-of-Way (Auto ROW) violations (37% of broadside crashes) and traffic signal or sign violations (25%). Improper turning

contributed to 175 collisions (17% citywide), reinforcing that turning movements and conflicting right-of-way are frequent concerns at intersections. This safety emphasis area is therefore focused on reducing broadside collisions through improvements to intersection control, visibility, and turn-movement management.

6.3.2 COUNTERMEASURE RECOMMENDATIONS
Enhanced intersection safety countermeasures should work to minimize driver error, mitigate the impacts of driver error, and provide drivers with a greater sense of awareness about upcoming decisions they will need to make and hazards to look out for as they approach intersections.

7.0 NON-ENGINEERING SAFETY MEASURES
This section presents a list of potential non-infrastructure solutions to Barstow’s roadway safety needs. The programs will promote safe behavior in each plan’s identified transportation safety emphasis areas through education, law enforcement, and encouragement.

7.1 PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
Pedestrians are a highly vulnerable set of road users when it comes to vehicle-involved collisions. While motorists have a responsibility to drive safely, pedestrians can also take steps to enhance their own safety through increased awareness and measures to make themselves more visible.

The following safety (non-engineering) programs or program elements can be considered and/or continued to address pedestrian and bicycle collisions:

7.1.1 EDUCATION
 Implement a “See and Be Seen” campaign through signage, social media, and advertising.  Promote Barstow Police Department (BPD) Bicycle Safety Classes.  Offer student pedestrian and bicycle traffic safety education in schools. Lessons related to walking can include the danger of walking with distractions, while bicycle lessons can include helmet and bicycle fit, hand signals, and riding safely with traffic.

7.1.2 ENFORCEMENT
 Offer Bicycle Safety Classes as a diversion for bicycle riders who have been cited for traffic violations.

7.3 INTERSECTION SAFETY
While intersection safety is primarily a consideration of infrastructure, non-engineering measures can be integral to the successful implementation of intersection upgrades. Through outreach programs, members of the public can be made aware of changes, offer their input, and learn more about the benefits of upgraded amenities at intersections.

7.3.1 EDUCATION
 Create a pop-up demonstration using SCAG’s Go Human Kit of Parts, which is a set of physical materials that demonstrate potential street design elements in a temporary manner. These are made of portable, light-weight materials that are easy to transport and assemble.  Create educational materials to teach drivers how to use unfamiliar intersection features, such as mini roundabouts.

7.4 MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
Because they are classified as motor vehicles by California law, motorcycles must share the roadway with larger cars and trucks, making them susceptible to vehicle-involved collisions. Programs aimed at educating motorcyclists on how to safely navigate roadways and intersections where larger vehicles are present can be helpful in reducing accidents.

7.4.1 EDUCATION
 Implement a safety campaign through signage, social media, and advertising.  Promote Barstow Police Department (BPD) Motorcycle Safety Classes.

7.4.2 ENFORCEMENT
 Deploy special enforcement in areas with high amounts of recorded motorcycle collisions that focuses on high-risk violations (speeding, improper turning, running red lights, etc.)  Offer Motorcycle Safety Classes as a diversion for motorcycle riders who have been cited for traffic violations.

This section provides the project scope, collision reduction benefits calculation, cost estimation, and Benefit to Cost (B/C) ratio analysis. This section also discusses and summarizes the project prioritization for the HSIP application.

8.1 PROJECT SCOPES AND BENEFIT CALCULATIONS
Project scopes were developed by identifying countermeasures that directly address Barstow’s predominant collision patterns. Each scope represents one or more countermeasure types that can be applied individually or combined as corridor or intersection packages.

Expected benefits will be derived by applying the proposed countermeasures and corresponding Collision Reduction Factors (CRFs) to the observed collision totals. The process will include:
 Identifying the baseline number of collisions by type and severity  Applying CRFs to estimate preventable collisions
 Applying standard collision cost values by severity (per LRSM v1.7)  Calculating the annual collision reduction benefits and multiplying by the project life in years Caltrans has established some key requirements and procedures for its calls-for-projects to allow agencies maximum flexibility in combining countermeasures and locations into a single project while ensuring all projects can be consistently ranked on a statewide basis. These include:
 Only a maximum of three individual countermeasures may be utilized in the B/C ratio for any single project.
 For a countermeasure to be included in the B/C ratio calculations, it must represent at least 15 percent of the project’s total construction cost. This requirement ensures that minor project elements and not over-represented in the safety analysis.

To determine the benefit of a proposed improvement, the engineer first identifies the number of collisions that could potentially be prevented. A Collision Reduction Factor (CRF) is then applied to estimate the percentage of collisions expected to be avoided. This reduction is multiplied by the standard collision cost values by severity established in the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual (2024) to calculate the project’s total benefit.

The resulting “benefit” represents the estimated reduction in collision costs that would occur once the improvement is implemented.

8.2 BENEFIT/COST RATIO
A Benefit/Cost Ratio (BCR) is the ratio of a project's benefits relative to its costs, and both are expressed in monetary terms. The BCR is calculated by taking a project’s overall benefit and dividing it by the overall project cost. Projects with a higher BCR mean greater benefits relative to costs, while a lower BCR means fewer benefits than costs. Note that projects with a lower BCR are not disqualified from all funding opportunities. For grant opportunities that rely on higher BCR numbers, these projects may be combined with relevant projects with a higher BCR to increase competitiveness. Once a project is selected for further development, a detailed design concept and cost estimate should be created, including costs for all project phases from planning to construction completion.

Based on Caltrans’s need for a fair, data-driven, statewide project selection process for HSIP call-for-projects, the benefit and cost calculations should be completed using the same process shown in the HSIP Analyzer to calculate the B/C ratio of the project. The calculated BCR can then be refined by expanding or reducing the project scope elements, to deliver the most safety benefit with a project that is highly competitive in future HSIP cycles.

8.3 SHOWCASE LOCATIONS
This section highlights six representative locations selected from the City’s collision analysis and stakeholder discussions. These showcase projects illustrate the range of safety issues addressed through the LRSP and demonstrate how data-driven improvements can align with future HSIP, ATP, and SS4A funding. Each location includes a conceptual cost estimate and calculated Benefit/Cost (B/C) ratio. Four citywide recommendations were also included as general projects that may improve safety.

Below are the six showcase locations alongside the four city-wide recommendations:

8.4 GENERAL CITYWIDE IMPROVEMENTS
In addition to the location-specific projects identified in this plan, several citywide safety improvements are recommended to address systemic issues observed across Barstow’s roadway network. These upgrades focus on improving multimodal visibility, pedestrian accessibility, and roadside safety through consistent application of proven countermeasures. The following subsections summarize the proposed citywide enhancements.

8.4.1 CITYWIDE BICYCLE LANE SIGNAGE AND STRIPING UPGRADES Systemic improvements are recommended across Barstow’s existing bicycle network to enhance visibility and safety for cyclists. Upgrades include refreshed lane striping, replacement of faded or outdated pavement markings, and installation of new bicycle signage that meets current standards. These improvements will provide consistent wayfinding and delineation throughout the City, helping to reduce conflicts between bicyclists and vehicles. The project aligns with Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and Active Transportation Program (ATP) funding objectives focused on network-wide multimodal safety.

8.4.2 CITYWIDE GUARDRAIL UPGRADES
Citywide guardrail upgrades are proposed to bring existing installations up to current Caltrans and AASHTO standards. Improvements will address substandard end treatments, damaged or incomplete sections, and insufficient runout protection, particularly along corridors such as Riverside Drive and Outlet Center Drive.

These upgrades are intended to reduce the severity of roadway departure collisions and enhance roadside safety. The improvements are eligible for HSIP funding as part of a systemic liability-reduction approach.

8.4.3 CITYWIDE UNCONTROLLED CROSSWALK UPGRADES
Citywide pedestrian safety upgrades are proposed at uncontrolled crossings where marked crosswalks lack adequate visibility or control devices. Improvements may include high-visibility striping, advance signage, and pedestrian warning beacons where appropriate. These upgrades are designed to increase driver yielding behavior and improve crossing comfort for pedestrians, especially near schools and neighborhood centers. The improvements align with SS4A and HSIP funding opportunities that prioritize systemic pedestrian safety countermeasures.

8.4.4 CITYWIDE ALL-WAY STOP SYSTEMIC IMPROVEMENTS
Systemic all-way stop enhancements are proposed to improve visibility and compliance at uncontrolled or lowvisibility intersections. Recommended upgrades include larger stop signs, advance warning signage, and refreshed stop bars or markings to reinforce intersection awareness. These improvements aim to reduce broadside and angle collisions and are suitable for HSIP or SS4A funding that targets low-cost, systemwide intersection safety measures.

9.0 EVALUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
CITY OF BARSTOW | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN
PAGE 70

9.0 EVALUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
This section describes the process that will be used to evaluate the success of the plan, ensure implementation, and establish when an update is needed.

9.1 EVALUATION AND UPDATE TIMEFRAME
The LRSP should be evaluated annually to ensure that objectives are being met. The LRSP collision analysis and recommendations should be revised and/or updated, at a minimum, every five years, per Caltrans requirements for maintaining a valid LRSP. The safety emphasis areas may be adapted or revised as safety priorities in the City evolve over time and as additional safety infrastructure or programs are implemented.

In developing and evaluating any performance measures for traffic safety improvement, it is important that measures are established within the context of the safety emphasis areas, and that the data needed to measure them is readily available. For example, if the City wants to use fatal collisions per million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the City, both the collision data and accurate VMT estimates will need to utilize a consistent methodology over each year that is measured. It is also important to note that longer term safety infrastructure projects and education campaigns can take several years to show clear improvements over time. Year-to-year safety trends may even show short-term increases but measuring outcomes over the long term will also help the City determine if it is making steady progress towards increased traffic safety.

9.2 OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
Oversight of LRSP implementation and evaluation should be overseen by a Technical Advisory Committee or incorporated into an existing committee. This committee should include stakeholders within the City, which may include the City of Barstow Public Works Department, Barstow Police Department, Barstow Fire Protection District, Barstow Unified School District, and other City departments with transportation, planning, or public health responsibilities. External coordination should also include Caltrans District 8, San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), and other regional or community partners as appropriate.

The Technical Advisory Committee should utilize data-informed evaluation methods and measures to ensure that the goals of the LRSP are continually met. Data from SWITRS and OTS is released annually, and the City can supplement that with data from its Police Department collisions database or other information that Public Works maintains. NHTSA also releases annual data on fatal collisions through the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). As other related documents like General Plan elements, specific plans, Safe Routes to School programs, or other transportation studies are completed, they should be added to the list of references that are supported by, and support, the LRSP. Where possible, the LRSP’s goals should be incorporated into other planning documents for consistency across City policies and procedures.

9.3 FUNDING SOURCES
Several state and federal grant programs offer to fund engineering and non-engineering roadway safety projects. The California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) Active Transportation Program (ATP) encourages bicycle and pedestrian use in the state by funding programs that increase bike or pedestrian mode share or improve bicycle or pedestrian safety. Caltrans also administers the Sustainable Communities Grant Program, which awards grants to municipal projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support multimodal transportation. The Sustainable Communities Program prioritizes projects that solicit stakeholder and community engagement and support state policies like the 2040 California Transportation Plan. The California

Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) awards grants for projects addressing one or more of the ten priority areas, including Alcohol-Impaired Driving, Drug-Impaired Driving, Motorcycle Safety, Police Traffic Services, Roadway Safety and Traffic Records, Distracted Driving, Emergency Medical Services, Occupant Protection, Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety, and Public Relations.

At the federal level, the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Program funds technology to promote safety and efficiency in the transportation system. The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds roadway safety improvements on any public roadway, but the funds are distributed by Caltrans through a state discretionary program. USDOT has also recently created the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program, which can fund a broad variety of roadway safety projects and studies. USDOT and FHWA are in the process of revising the guidance and priorities of many funding programs, which may open new opportunities for safety funding that were not considered a good fit for projects in the past, but may be strong candidates based on the revised guidance.

Table 9.1 provides a list of eligible programs and funding sources related to transportation safety. These programs, and others that stem from new revenue sources in the State of California, should be considered as they are programmed and incorporated into the City’s infrastructure funding strategies. For Barstow, these sources will be used to advance the intersection and systemic improvements identified in Chapter 8; Table 9.1 provides a high-level alignment between the recommended improvements and potential funding programs.

COUNCIL ORDINANCE
AGENDA MATTER:

FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW AMENDING CHAPTER 2.24 REGARDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION; AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. ____-2026, AMENDING PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED RULES FOR THE

CONDUCT OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS, PROCEEDINGS AND BUSINESS AND REPEALING PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 467
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council is requested to consider amendments to Barstow Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 2.24 to improve the operational efficiency and continuity of the Planning Commission. The proposed amendment would authorize the appointment of two alternate Planning Commissioners, allow alternates to receive the same $100 per-meeting stipend as regular commissioners, and establish eligibility requirements requiring residency and voter registration within the City of Barstow.

The last comprehensive update to Chapter 2.24 occurred in July 2024. Since that time, staff has identified the need for additional clarity regarding alternate members and compensation, particularly to address quorum challenges and ensure consistent participation in Planning Commission proceedings.

DISCUSSION:

The Planning Commission plays a critical role in advising the City Council on land use, zoning, development applications, and long-range planning matters. Under the current provisions of BMC Chapter 2.24, the Planning Commission is composed solely of regular members, with no express authority for the appointment of alternates.

When a regular commissioner is absent or at times may need to recuse themselves from voting on an item, the Planning Commission may experience difficulty achieving a quorum, which can result in delayed hearings, continued items, and increased administrative burden on applicants, staff, and the public.

Additionally, while regular Planning Commissioners currently receive a stipend of $100 per meeting, the Municipal Code does not address compensation for alternate members, as alternates are not presently authorized.

The City last amended Chapter 2.24 in July 2024, and the proposed changes build upon that update by addressing operational gaps identified through the Planning Commission meeting experience.

The proposed amendment to BMC Chapter 2.24 would implement the following changes specific to the Planning Commission:

1. Appointment of Alternate Planning Commissioners
The amendment would expressly authorize the City Council to appoint alternate members to the Planning Commission. Alternate commissioners would serve when a regular member is absent or disqualified, ensuring the Commission can maintain a quorum and conduct scheduled business.

2. Stipend for Alternate Members
The amendment would authorize alternate Planning Commissioners to receive a stipend of $100 12 Packet Pg. 234

COUNCIL ORDINANCE
per meeting, equal to that received by regular commissioners. This ensures fairness, recognizes the time commitment involved, and supports consistent participation by alternates.

3. Residency and Voter Registration Requirements
The amendment would require that all Planning Commission members and alternate members:
 Be residents of the City of Barstow, and
 Be registered voters within the City of Barstow.

These requirements ensure that individuals serving on the Planning Commission have a direct and vested interest in the community and are eligible participants in the City’s civic process.

4. Consistency with Prior Amendments
The amendment acknowledges that Chapter 2.24 was last updated in July 2024 and reflects a continued effort to clarify and modernize the City’s governance structure.

Staff believes these changes will enhance the Planning Commission’s ability to operate efficiently, reduce meeting disruptions, and ensure consistent representation and decision-making.

Attachment 1 - Ordinance amending Ch. 2.24 (Planning Commission) Attachment 2 - Redline of Planning Commission Rules Resolution Attachment 3 - Resolution Amending Planning Commission Rules FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of preparing these amended policies and procedures is within the existing budget and is estimated to be a $4,000 annually. Increasing the Planning Commission’s efficiency and reducing the risk of adverse litigation will help the City’s budget, in an indeterminate amount. Alternates only receive a stipend when serving in place of a regular member, so the addition of alternates causes no change.
