RE: Base Line and Greenspot Road Connected Smart Corridors Grant Application The City of Highland is pleased to respond to SBCTA’s Request for Information for the Development of Smart Arterial Corridors in the San Bernardino Valley. The City has identified several connected corridors within the City of Highland that are prime candi dates for becoming “Smart Arterial Corridors”. These corridors which include Caltrans intersections at Base Line/SR-210 and 5th St/SR-210 are as follows:
• Base Line – Sterling Avenue to Church Street
• 5th Street/Greenspot Road – Del Rosa Drive to Weaver Street • Boulder Avenue – San Manuel Village to Greenspot Road • Victoria Avenue – Pacific Street to 5th Street
• Palm Avenue – Base Line to 3rd Street
• 9th Street – Del Rosa Avenue to Victoria Avenue
It is important to note that
Base Line, Boulder Avenue,
Greenspot Road, and
Victoria Avenue are all
Omnitrans Priority Transit
Corridors. Additionally, all
the corridors listed are part
of the San Bernardino
Valley Coordinated Traffic
Signal System (SBVCTSS).
The Victoria Avenue
corridor is also a key
corridor that leads to San
Bernardino International
Airport. The project
corridors are shown in the
figure to the right.

Project Summary
The City of Highland currently maintains a total of 40 signalized intersections with 4 additional signalized intersections maintained by Caltrans. The City currently manages the traffic signals via the McCain QuicNet Pro Traffic Management System located at City Hall. The traffic signals communica te to the central system via fiber optic, Ethernet over copper, wireless, and cell modem communications. This project proposes to encompass the Base Line, 5th Street/Greenspot Road, Palm Avenue, 9th Street, Boulder Avenue, and Victoria Avenue corridors whi ch cover 38 City of Highland maintained signalized intersections, and 4 Caltrans maintained signalized intersections. The City maintained traffic signals utilize a mix of Model 170 and 2070 controller units with McCain 233 and 2033 software which have been in use for over 10 years. As part of this project, it is the City’s goal to upgrade aging traffic signal communication equipment including controller units and the traffic management system to position the City for future Transit Signal Priority projects.
Proposed Improvements
The proposed improvements identified for this project are illustrated in the attached figure .
Improvements include the following:
- Traffic Signal Controller Unit upgrades to TSP-Ready Controllers - Traffic Signal Communications
o Fiber Optic Cable in Existing Conduit/New Conduit
o Wireless Ethernet Radios
o Video/Radar Detection Systems
o Fiber Ethernet Switches
- Upgrade central system to Swarco MyCity Traffic Management System - Traffic Signal Coordination Timing with Traffic Responsive System for Project Corridors Base Line and Greenspot Road Connected Smart Corridors

Benefits of Project
The proposed improvements identified in this project will greatly benefit the City of Highland, its residents, and adjoining agencies. The project will provide the City with the resources to replace out -of- date equipment with a new state of the art traffic signal system. This new equipment will allow for the implementation of smart corridors and the implementation of new traffic signal coordination timing with a Traffic Responsive System. Traffic signal coordination has shown to provide 10% -15% improvement in travel time reduction providing important air quality benefits.
Financial Plan
A preliminary cost estimate for the proposed improvements has been prepared and is presented in the attached table. It is estimated that the total project cost, which includes engineering design, construction, construction management, and signal timing preparation will be $1,399, 484 which includes an agency match of $339,484 (39.95%).
Project Schedule
The City intends to fast track the implementation of this project if awarded. The proposed project schedule is summarized below.

Maintenance of System
The City of Highland currently allocates adequate resources to maintain its traffic signal system. With the implementation of “Smart Corridor” improvements, the City intends to allocate additional resources to maintain the “Smart Corridors” to benefit its residents and the motorists who travel those corridors.
The City of Highland looks forward to partnering with SBCTA for the implementation of this important project. If there are any questions on our proposed project or if you want to discuss it further, please feel free to contact me.
