Re: Date Palm Drive Pavement Rehabilitation Project Moving Cathedral City Forward Together
Dear Andres and Other Selection Committee Members,
When deciding to improve a vital City arterial such as the Date Palm Corridor, the City needs to have a design team that is aware of not only the requirements to improve the street now, but also consider the future enhancements to the surrounding area. As Cathedral City continues to grow in population, infrastructure improvements beyond street rehabilitation should also be considered. Additionally, since Date Palm Drive is a primary route for SunLine Transit, consideration should be given to incorporating concrete bus pads. Also, since the City’s 2040 General Plan identifies proposed on-street bike lanes, this is the perfect time to review potential enhancements to the proposed design.
This is where HR Green Pacific, Inc. (HR Green) can assist and guide Cathedral City through the process of developing plans for the short-term and long-term projects.

City of Moreno Valley
CHALLENGE: The City of Moreno Valley, with a population of 200,000+ is a rapidly growing community with hundreds of miles of deferred pavement maintenance. With additional funding incoming for infrastructure improvements, but limited in-house staff, the City needed consultant assistance to prepare plans for the much needed Citywide Pavement Rehabilitation Program.
Sample Project
2021-2022 Citywide Pavement Rehabilitation: The City engaged HR Green to provide full plan preparation for 135 arterial/collector street segments. HR Green provided the street improvement and signing and striping plans for more than eighty (80) miles of arterial/collector streets between two projects and ten phases. The project included the grind and overlay or slurry seal of arterial or collector streets throughout the City.
In addition to the rehabilitation or maintenance of existing pavement, the project also included new signing and striping of all streets, including the addition of new Class II and Class III bikeways as well as several bicycle boulevards. HR Green had to take into the account the City’s adopted bicycle and pedestrian master plan and existing on-street parking to design the most effective and efficient corridors.
To expedite the project at the City’s request, HR Green assigned a full service design team to provide extensive field reviews, base mapping, utility coordination, pavement rehabilitation recommendations and design, and signing and striping plans per the City’s General Circulation Plans and Bicycle Master Plan. HR Green was able to complete the design of the first project within six months and the second four months after that.

Pavement Rehabilitation Projects
City of Rancho Cucamonga
Since 2019, HR Green has provided design and engineering of public improvements to the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Sample Projects
Foothill Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation: HR Green provided improvement plans, including separate signing and striping plans with the addition of buffered Class II bike lanes, specifications, and cost estimates for the rehabilitation of the 2.5 mile stretch of Foothill Boulevard between Milliken Avenue and East Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. This segment of Foothill was experiencing some minor distress, mainly longitudinal and block cracking of the existing wearing course with potholes throughout.
The City’s preferred rehabilitation strategy was a 0”-2” edge grind and 2” overlay.
The City was initially fine with the existing raised median losing 2” of curb face, but after a thorough field review, HR Green noted that the existing median had several curb cuts throughout the project limits carrying storm water from one side of the median to the other. The existing street was also in need of a full depth cold mill in several areas not previously identified. After further discussion with City staff, it was agreed to perform a uniform 2” cold mill and ARHM overlay. The replacement of existing ADA facilities was also provided with a detailed survey and design of each individual access ramp.
Hermosa Avenue Widening: HR Green designed the widening of Hermosa Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Effen Street. The project widened the corridor to include two travel lanes in each direction as well as a center left turn lane, new curb and gutter, and sidewalk. Improvements at the Stafford street intersection were required to accommodate the widening, including ADA upgrades, utility coordination and relocation.
A new development, recently built along the south end of the project, required extensive on-street parking. During the design phase the on-street parking was added, and in order to maximize spacing reverse back-in angled parking was the elected alternative. “I would like to express our sincere
appreciation to HR Green for
their contribution to delivering
Civil Design project plans to our
Engineering Department. We thank
HR Green for their professionalism
and experience in providing Civil
Design for various projects. We
highly recommended the HR Green

Pavement Rehabilitation Projects
City of Jurupa Valley
Upon new City incorporation in 2011, the City of Jurupa Valley (100,000+ population comprised of 9 diverse communities) inherited aging infrastructure and no formal municipal building assets. Since incorporation HR Green has provided full departmental management and on-site staffing for Public Works, Building and Safety, and Engineering. Jurupa Valley is considered one of the most cost-efficiently run communities in the County based on level of service, while consistently exceeding performance metrics.
Sample Projects
Van Buren Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation: HR Green provided design engineering and construction inspection for approximately 310,000 square feet of much needed pavement rehabilitation on Van Buren Boulevard between Jurupa Road and Rutile Street.
We proposed two rehabilitation strategies, a traditional grind and overlay with the inclusion of a geosynthetic paving mat, or a grind and overlay with the use of fiber reinforced asphalt concrete. The fiber reinforced asphalt concrete provides equivalent section strength and has the potential to be more economical. Van Buren Boulevard is classified as a regional expressway in the City’s General Plan, there-fore, any disruption in traffic has a compounding affect. The work needed to be performed quickly and safely for the traveling public as well as the workers. Additionally, to reduce future travel delays, the road needed a lasting rehabilitation strategy. HR Green staff provided daily observation of contractor’s operations; monitored materials in-spection and testing; monitored compliance with the contract documents, including temporary construction traffic control, preparation of monthly progress payment reports, and performed various administrative activities related to the project.
Mission Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation and Traffic Signal Improvements: HR Green prepared street improvement plans, signing and striping plans, and traffic signal modification plans for this 1.5 mile stretch of Mission Boulevard between Pyrite Street and Valley Way. A pavement evaluation report was prepared to provide rehabilitation recommendations for the roadway which ultimately led to the decision to place a fiber reinforced asphalt concrtete (FRAC) leveling course and fiber reinforced asphalt rubber hot mix (FR-ARHM) overlay in addition to a 2” cold mill of the entire roadway surface. The project also included improvements at the Valley Way intersection to modify the existing raised center median to include a pedestrian refuge with signal actuation to allow pedestrians to make the crossing of Mission Boulevard in two movements. This upgrade allowed for the traffic signal to be re-timed to improve overall traffic operations and pedestrian safety through the intersection. “The City of Jurupa Valley
continues to be very pleased with
the services that we are receiving
from HR Green. HR Green provides
highly competent and experienced
staff at reasonable hourly rates.
In an active and fast-growing

Project Understanding and Approach
Date Palm Drive’s importance to the City of Cathedral City cannot be overstated as it serves as one of the primary arterials between I-10 and the community and it’s also a major source of economic development connecting businesses on Dinah Shore, Ramon Road and East Palm Canyon to the community. Car dealerships, retail, restaurants, and the new Agua Caliente Casino all take access from Date Palm Drive making it critical that it be maintained in a high condition as many customers may not use any other roads in the City.
Additionally, all residents, including those with accessibility issues, must have access to the public facilities, places of worship and health services located along the corridor.
HR Green understands that the City has performed initial studies to identify the needs and constraints in the corridor to further develop its usefulness for economic, transportation and pedestrian circulation as well as a shopping and commercial mixed use destination corridor. To facilitate the City’s vision the one-mile section of Date Palm Drive between Ramon Road and Dinah Shore Drive needs pavement rehabilitation, limited drainage improvements, and ADA compliant ramps. The intersection with 30th Avenue will be evaluated for 100’ to 200’ concrete approaches on Date Palm Road to address rutting from trucks. Additionally, the southerly crosswalk will be evaluated for ADA accessibility.

HR Green’s approach will be to conduct preliminary research including identifying core locations to verify existing conditions, preliminary and final design, cost estimates and bidding support to ensure a successful construction project.
Our design team will work with the City’s geotechnical firm to identify existing pavement sections critical to our recommended rehabilitation methods. We will also work with our surveyor to provide new base maps for the City providing updated existing cross sections and drainage patterns on Date Palm Drive.
POTENTIAL ISSUES/SOLUTIONS
We have driven the project limits and performed a visual observation and assessment of the existing conditions. The existing pavement surface experiences varying degrees of longitudinal and block cracking. The following are some examples of key issues we feel should be addressed with the design and our corresponding solutions.
1. Rutting/Shoving at intersections: For a major arterial roadway like Date Palm Drive we would typically suggest a rubberized asphalt overlay. Although there are great benefits to rubberized asphalt, including being a “green” product and reducing traffic noise, the downfall is that it tends to be more susceptible to rutting at intersections. This can pose a major problem, especially along a major corridor and transit route like Date Palm Drive. We feel the City is taking a smart approach by recommending the analysis of concrete approach lanes at major intersections, particularly controlled intersections.
2. Existing raised median
The existing sections of raised median on Date Palm Drive prevents the City from being able to do a traditional overlay without losing a portion of curb face in that median. Most agencies require a minimum 4” curb face to remain after the completion of an overlay. We would typically recommend completing a full width cold mill and overlay, including crack sealing after completion of the cold mill for cracks still existing greater than ¼”. This method will remove and replace the existing wearing surface while maintaining the existing curb height while also avoiding the need to adjust most utilities. HR Green will evaluate existing height of the raised medians for discussion with City staff and if the existing surface allows, we may be able to complete a traditional overlay with just edge grinding along the outside curb.
3. Traffic signal detection loops
There are several signalized intersections throughout the project corridor that appear to have existing loop detection. The signing and striping plan should identify the location and type of traffic loops in accordance with City standards, including bicycle detection. We understand that eventually the intersections will be upgraded to video detection with CVAG’s Valley-wide Signal Synchronization project, however we will replace per standards unless directed by the City.
4. Bus pads
There are several existing bus stops or bus turnouts throughout the project limits. Most of these locations are experiences substantially greater pavement distresses than the rest of the roadway.
We would recommend removing the existing AC pavement, base material and replacing these locations with new PCC bus pads. This solution prevents premature deterioration of the roadway adjacent to bus stops.
