City Branding and Landscaping Along Interstate 15 Corridor Prepared By:
Jimmy Chung, City Engineer
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the Council approve the proposed phasing of branding and landscaping along the Interstate 15 corridor.
Summary
During the August 25, 2021 City Council Mee%ng, Council directed staff to inves%gate the design and implementa%on cost es%mates to improve landscaping and branding along the Interstate 15 corridor.
Staff inves%gated several design and beau%fica%on concepts, phasing concepts, localized and focused improvement locations, and branding options.
Any work along the freeway will require a permit from California Department of Transporta%on (CalTrans) and improvements will require a maintenance agreement with CalTrans. The maintenance agreement dura%on depends on the level of improvement, meaning basic improvements require maintenance of such improvements by the City for 2 years. While more elaborate level of improvements will require a maintenance agreement in excess of 12 years.
Based on discussions with and direc%on from Real Property Ad Hoc Commi4ee, staff proposes spli5ng the beau%fica%on project into four (4 )phases. The following is a list of the improvements proposed and required maintenance agreement duration for each phase:
Phase 1 - Trees planted from Silverlakes to Bellegrave at mixed density and spacing (average 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752
951.361.0900 | eastvaleca.gov
2693
spacing of approximately 35 feet) plus mulch and irriga%on. Maintenance agreement dura%on is maximum 3 years.
Phase 2 - Trees planted from Bellegrave to 60/15 interchange (Riverside Drive overpass).
Maintenance agreement duration is maximum 3 years.
Phase 3 - Branding monument at 60/15 interchange southbound I15 slope. Maintenance agreement duration needs to be negotiated with CalTrans.
Phase 4 - Ground cover bushes and shrubs at Cantu Galleano I15 on/off ramp. Maintenance agreement duration is 2 years.
To implement the phasing plan, future contracts with vendors and contractors, and any required amendment to the CalTrans Maintenance Agreement will be brought to the City Council for approval.
Background
On October 25, 2017, the City of Eastvale and the State of California entered into a Maintenance Agreement (A4achment 1 - 2017 Freeway Maintenance Agreement) for maintenance responsibilities on and near the freeway, overpass, and interchanges.
The Limonite Interchange construc%on is essen%ally complete and the project is nearing close out.
The City has taken over the maintenance responsibili%es effec%ve September 2021 for landscaping and watering of the interchange landscape improvement area. City Maintenance responsibili%es are generally near the overpasses and near the interchanges but not within the the Interstate 15 freeway corridor within the freeway right of way along the private/state property line.
During the January 8, 2020 Strategic Workshop, two of Council's Ac%on/Schedule as part of Priority #2, Target #2, Goal #4, was to "Develop branding and iden%ty for Eastvale"; and Target #6, Goal #6, was to "Create appealing signage/landscaping at entry/exit points in the City to welcome residents and guests to Eastvale". On July 13, 2021, we received an amendment to the Maintenance Agreement request from the Riverside County Transporta%on and Land Management Agency (RCTLMA) with an expanded scope for maintenance. Although the City is not obligated to agree to an expanded scope it provided a segue to start the dialogue with California Department of Transporta%on (CalTrans) to improve landscaping along the Interstate 15 corridor from the 15 freeway and the 60 freeway interchange to the southern city limit near Silverlakes Sports Park.
CalTrans was open to the idea and provided steps and requirements to proceed with the review and approval of the landscape plans by CalTrans and the maintenance terms (A4achment 2 - Maintenance Terms).
Environmental
The proposed inves%ga%on is not a project as defined by the California environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and as such, no environmental review is required.
