Vendor Agreement
XII. RETENTION OF FUNDS
Vendor authorizes Agency to deduct from any amount payable to Vendor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute or that are necessary to compensate Agency for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by Agency, and all amounts for which Agency may be liable to third parties, by reason of Vendor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Vendor’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Vendor, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim, Agency may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of the withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim. The failure of Agency to exercise the right to deduct or to withhold will not, however, affect the obligations of Vendor to insure, indemnify, and protect Agency as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.

Vendor shall not incur nor have the power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability whatsoever against Agency, or bind Agency in any manner.

The anticipated professional service agreement totaling $78,000 will utilize the adopted budget in account (113-4120-020-001) for Charter Oak Mobile Home Park Capital Improvements.
BACKGROUND
On June 12, 2023, The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health (DPH) inspected the swimming pool and spa with a re-inspection on June 15, 2023. Inspection reports found the swimming pool with two (2) violations and the spa with seven (7) violations. (See Attachment 1).
Violations related to chlorine levels, maintenance of equipment and record keeping were addressed immediately; however, violations related to the plaster, coping and skimmer required a pool contractor to make the repairs. Therefore, the Property Management Company obtained three (3) bids for the repairs and submitted them to the City for approval on August 14, 2023.
Since the bids did not include prevailing wage, as required, the City was not able to approve bids and the repairs were not completed.
On February 8, 2024, DPH inspected the swimming pool and spa with a re-inspection on March 6, 2024. Inspection reports found the swimming pool with four (4) violations and the spa with seven (7) violations (See Attachment 1). The violations were similar to the June 2023 inspection.
Violations related to chlorine levels and maintenance were immediately addressed; however, the violations that required a pool contractor to make the repairs, such as plaster and coping repairs were still outstanding from the previous year‘s inspection. At that time, bids were obtained from pool contractors who could do prevailing wage, by the Property Management Company without following informal bidding procedures. Due to the submitted bid amounts, informal bidding procedures would have to be followed to be in compliance with San Dimas Municipal Code section
3.30.030(B)(2) and with the agreement for management services between the City and the Property Management Company. Therefore, the City was not able to award a contract for the work. At that time, City Staff felt it was best for Staff to take on the project to comply with the bidding requirements.
In August 2024, staff reached out to Aquatic Design Group (ADG), the firm used for the design and project management of the San Dimas Swim and Racquet Club in 1990, for a consultation on the repairs needed for the pool and spa at Charter Oak. After review of the project and discussions with ADG, ADG declined working on the project due to their location (Carlsbad, CA) and current workload. ADG highly recommended a solid firm with a substantial amount of LA County experience, Jones & Madhavan Architecture Engineering (J&M). J&M has extensive experience working with over 30 municipalities in design and construction of recreational and competition level aquatic fields such as City of Buena Park, City of Riverside, City of Carson, City of Los Alamitos, City of Seal Beach, City of Los Angeles, as well as the County of Los Angeles.
Thus, staff reached out to J&M and received a proposal for an analysis of the pool and spa at Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates.
J&M along with City Staff conducted a thorough inspection of the pool and spa facility at Charter Oak on January 9, 2025. J&M did a second site visit on February 21, 2025. On March 21, 2025, J&M provided Staff with an in-depth analysis of the pool and spa. (See Attachment 2). The report provided an assessment and recommendation for the renovation of the pool, spa, associated mechanical systems, pool deck and perimeter enclosure. Specifically, the report provided an analysis to determine the feasibility of renovating the existing pool and spa components to make them more functional and bring them into conformance with current building and health codes.
The total costs to complete the renovation project was estimated at $478,238, which was broken down into three categories: Safety and Code Compliance, Increase Longevity, and Improve Functionality. The report also included a replacement option which would create a more usable
PSA with J&M for the design and project management of the COMHE - Pool and Spa Page 3 For the Meeting of August 12, 2025
pool and spa by providing shallower water and easier access. Completely replacing the pool and spa will ensure conformance to all current codes and would eliminate many unknowns that may be encountered with the renovation option. The total costs for the pool replacement option were estimated at $650,000 and would replace the pool and spa, along with associated equipment, the pool deck and perimeter enclosure.
On May 14, 2025, DPH inspected the swimming pool and spa with a re-inspection on May 28, 2025. Inspection reports found the swimming pool with six (6) violations and the spa with three (3) violations (See Attachment 3). Violations related to chlorine levels and maintenance were again cited and immediately addressed; however, the violations of the pool condition, deck and equipment markings became mandated with a corrective date of August 6, 2025. City staff spoke to DPH on May 16, 2025, and informed the inspector that we would be renovating the facility and will stay in contact with DPH during the process.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
As previously mentioned, J&M provided a report that analyzed a renovation and a replacement option for the pool/spa area. After reviewing both options, Staff determined that the replacement option would be the better option, both from an economic and long-term use standpoint. The replacement option would provide a shallower pool and provide safer access, which would be more beneficial for the Charter Oak residents. In addition, proceeding with the replacement option would eliminate unknowns that are typically encountered during renovation projects, specially since there are no construction documents for the existing facility.
The pool and spa replacement project will require design, plans, and project management by a qualified and experienced architecture/engineering firm that is experienced in the design and construction of recreational aquatic facilities. Therefore, Staff is recommending to continue working with J&M for this portion of the project. J&M will design the pool, spa, deck, and perimeter fencing enclosure to meet Health & Safety standards and the Building Code. J&M will provide all associated structure, mechanical and electrical engineering for the pool and spa and prepare the required construction documents. J&M will also work with City staff on obtaining a qualified contractor by following the City’s procurement process and will be the project manager overseeing the construction and completion of the project. The cost for these services is $78,000 which will include, without limitation, all required design documents, assisting the selected contractor with securing permits from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and from the County of Los Angeles Public Health Department, and acting as the project manager for the project (See Attachment 4).
Staff will work with J&M on ensuring all violations are addressed and the pool and spa design meets the City’s standards. The replacement of the pool and spa is already budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Charter Oak Fund 113 budget and will be brought to the Housing Authority for construction approval after the bidding process has been completed. At this time, Staff is only requesting approval of the Professional Service Agreement (see Attachment 5) with J&M in order to proceed with the replacement of the pool and spa at Charter Oak.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives proposed for this request; however, the Housing Authority may choose to not approve the professional service agreement for the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates –
PSA with J&M for the design and project management of the COMHE - Pool and Spa Page 4 For the Meeting of August 12, 2025
Pool and Spa Replacement. This could potentially lead to the closure of the pool and spa by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Pool Facility Renovation Analysis
March 21, 2025
INTRODUCTION
The Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates Pool Facility is located at 801 West Covina Boulevard in San Dimas. The exact date of original construction is not known, but is assumed to be 1962 when the entire development was constructed. The City of San Dimas (City) purchased the property in 1991 and has been responsible for maintaining and operating the facility since then. Though staff did not know of any major improvements, there is evidence the facility has undergone at least one major improvement since its original construction – a separate mechanical system was added for the spa.
This report presents Jones & Madhavan - Architecture Engineering’s (JMAE) assessment and recommendations for renovation of the pool, spa, associated mechanical systems, pool deck and perimeter enclosure. This report does not address the Community Building other than the mechanical room. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the feasibility of renovating the aging pool and spa components to make them more functional and bring them into conformance with current building and health codes.

Pool Facility Renovation Analysis
March 21, 2025
The major components of the facility include:
Swimming Pool – The pool has a surface area of approximately 1,080 square feet and volume of approximately 48,000 gallons. The pool is the shape of an offset “L” with water depths ranging from 3 ½ feet to 8 feet. Approximately 40% of the pool surface area has water depth of 4 ½ feet or less. This is the water depth that is suitable for recreational swim activities. The structure of the pool appears to be reinforced shotcrete with plaster and tile surface finishes. There are two (2) semicircular stairs in the shallow end and two (2) grabrails with recessed steps in the deep end for pool access and egress.

ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDAT IONS
There were no as-built documents to reference for this facility. Consequently, information for analysis of the facility was gathered solely from visual on-site examination and information provided by City staff. Nachi Madhavan of JMAE conducted site visits on January 9, 2025 and February 21, 2025. This information combined with a complete review of applicable California Building Codes (CBC) as well as the California Health and Safety Code (Health Code) provided the background information necessary to analyze the facility and formulate recommendations for its renovation.
The CBC and Health Code are not retroactive codes which means the facility only needs to conform with the codes that were in effect at the time of original construction. However, if a facility is renovated, items in the current code that can be “reasonably attained” should be updated.
The items of concern indicated in the report are separated into three categories:
1) Safety & Code Compliance – These items should be addressed to ensure the facility is operated within the standard level of care for a commercial aquatic facility. Many of the items listed in this section were also identified as being non-compliant in the County of Los Angeles Environmental Health Division’s re-inspection reports dated June 15, 2023 and July 15, 2023. These reports are included in the Appendix of this report.
2) Increase Longevity – Addressing these issues will allow the facility to be more easily operated and maintained, thereby increasing the longevity of the facility.
3) Improve Functionality – It is not essential to address these items. However, they will permit more usability by patrons.

REPLACEMENT OPTION
If there is a strong desire to create a more usable pool for the older user population by providing shallower water and easier access, consideration should be given to replacing the pool and spa. Since there are no record drawings for the existing facility, there are many unknows. Completely replacing the pool and spa will ensure conformance to all current codes and ensure the facility can be operated safely for many decades to come. For comparative purposes, the total project cost to replace the pool, spa, deck and perimeter enclosure would be $650,000.
The appendix includes an illustration for a potential replacement option with the following major components:
A. Swimming Pool
A new pool would have a surface area of 1,100 square feet with water depth ranging from 3 ½ feet to 5 feet and large entry stair. The water depth is suitable for recreational swimming activities including lap swimming and water aerobics.
The large stair area would have shallow 6” risers that facility ease of entry and 14” treads that can provide seating area at varying shallow water depth. The mechanical systems for the swimming pool and spa would be located in the existing mechanical room.
B. Spa
A new spa would be slightly smaller than the existing at 12 feet in diameter. This is still adequate to accommodate up to 10 persons.
C. Pool Deck
The new pool deck area would have a 4-foot band of concrete around the perimeter of the swimming pool and spa with the remaining areas being concrete pavers.
D. Perimeter Enclosure
The new perimeter enclosure on the north side would comprise of a 5-foot tall tubular steel fence. The height of the fence would be measured from the higher grade.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Consultant (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Consultant’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the Agency, Consultant may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Consultant shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Consultant, but in all
Rev. 06/22 Page 14 of 20 Design Professional Service Agreement other terms consistent with the Consultant’s requirements under this Agreement.

Prepared by: Peter Jacoy, Assistant Engineer
Subject: Approve the San Dimas Citywide Bicycle Master Plan 2025 and Adopt Resolution 2025-44, Approving the Citywide Bicycle Master Plan 2025 Update ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The Citywide Bicycle Master Plan 2025 Update builds on the foundation of the 2011 plan, presenting a clear vision to expand and improve bicycle routes throughout San Dimas. It offers strategic recommendations to create a safer, more connected transportation network that supports all modes of travel. Informed by input from community members, Transportation experts and City staff. The plan incorporates modern design practices, operational enhancements, and updated safety standards. By leveraging best practices and the latest research, this plan aims to strengthen infrastructure, improve connectivity to public transit, shopping centers, and parks, and promote safe, accessible travel for bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. This document also serves as an essential tool for securing grant funding to support future project implementation and street improvements. The plan has been introduced at multiple community outreach events, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, Traffic Safety Committee and was reviewed by the City Council at the June 24th Study Session.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve the updated San Dimas Citywide Bicycle Master Plan 2025 • Adopt Resolution 2025-44, Resolution approving the updated Citywide Bicycle Master Plan 2025
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No
Approve San Dimas Citywide Bicycle Master Plan 2025 and Resolution 2025-44 Page 2 For the Meeting of August 12, 2025
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action. Approval of the plan does not require implementation. Individual projects that impact traffic lane configuration or parking would require approval by Council and financing will be addressed at project level. Without an updated Bicycle Master Plan, it will be more difficult for the City to obtain grant funding for street improvements.
BACKGROUND
The 2025 Bicycle Master Plan Update responds to significant changes since the adoption of the 2011 plan, including evolving commuting patterns, new active transportation initiatives, advancements in bicycle infrastructure design, and emerging safety concerns. It also incorporates the new A Line train station.
This update provides an overview of relevant plans and facility types, followed by an assessment of existing conditions in San Dimas, including current bikeways, network gaps, bicycle parking, and collision trends from the past five years. The plan also details the comprehensive community outreach process, which involved an interactive website, multi-channel engagement, public meetings, and has been reviewed by the Traffic Safety Committee, Parks and Recreation Commission and Planning Commission.
The plan provides revised goals, objectives, and policies to guide the development of bicycle infrastructure, alongside recommendations for programs promoting cycling and increasing mode share. The update outlines proposed bikeway projects categorized as follows:
• Class I: Shared-use paths
• Class II: On-street bike lanes
• Class III: Bicycle routes and boulevards
• Class IV: Protected bike lanes
Projects are prioritized into three timeframes:
• Short-term (1–5 years): Class III Bicycle Boulevards and Routes in the central area of the City.
• Medium-term (5–10 years): Class II Bicycle Lanes in the central and southern areas of the City.
• Long-term (10+ years): Class I Shared-Use Paths in San Dimas Avenue (Near A Line Station) Puddingstone Drive and Via Verde.
Implementation timelines may be adjusted based on funding, street improvement projects, or changing community priorities. This Bicycle Master Plan Update serves as a strategic guide to implementing cost-effective, feasible projects that enhance mobility options and ensure a safe and accessible transportation network for all residents.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Existing Bikeways
The City of San Dimas features approximately 20 miles of designated bikeways, including about 7 miles of Class II bicycle lanes and approximately 13 miles of Class III bicycle routes.
Opportunities exist to further enhance the City's bikeway network by introducing additional
Approve San Dimas Citywide Bicycle Master Plan 2025 and Resolution 2025-44 Page 3 For the Meeting of August 12, 2025
facilities that improve connectivity and accessibility. Expanding bikeways between Foothill Blvd. and Cienega Ave. could strengthen regional connections, while new north-south routes would create more seamless travel options. Additionally, improving east-west connectivity across the CA-57 Freeway can further integrate the City's bicycle infrastructure.
With a well-connected Downtown grid that supports short trips, these potential enhancements will build on existing strengths, making San Dimas more accessible for bicyclists with the overall goal of increasing safety and fitness and reducing congestion for modes of travel.
Community Outreach
To ensure broad community representation in developing the Bicycle Master Plan, the City conducted a series of outreach efforts to advertise the plan, gather feedback on existing bicycle infrastructure, and identify priorities for future improvements. A key component of this outreach was an interactive project website hosted through Social Pinpoint, a platform designed for public engagement through surveys, interactive maps, project timelines, and event calendars. The website was promoted via the City’s official social media channels and business card-sized flyers with QR codes distributed at outreach events and various facilities. Community feedback was collected over a four-month period from October 2024 through February 2025.
At the annual Halloween Spooktacular event on October 19, 2024, and the Holiday Extravaganza event on December 7, 2024, City and consultant staff engaged with the community to promote the bicycle infrastructure plan update. At both events, they distributed candy, business card flyers, and maps highlighting existing conditions and proposals, while encouraging attendees to visit the project website and provide feedback. QR codes were also used at these events to facilitate online participation. The outreach efforts led to approximately 50 new website visitors within 24 hours of the Halloween event and 30 new visitors within 48 hours of the Holiday Extravaganza event.
Two public workshops were held as part of the Bicycle Master Plan Update to engage the community and gather feedback. The first workshop, held on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, at City Hall, introduced attendees to the project and provided an opportunity to share their vision for the future of bicycling in San Dimas. The second workshop took place on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at City Hall, where community members reviewed and commented on the proposed bicycle improvements in the draft plan. Both events were promoted through paper flyers and social media, with the first workshop drawing three community attendees and the second attracting six, in addition to City and consultant staff.
Goals
The Citywide Bicycle Master Plan is structured around central goals, which is supported by policies and objectives to be achieved through specific projects and programs.
Goal 1: Develop a comprehensive bicycle network that supports all riders and all modes of transportation.
Goal 2: Make bicycling a more convenient option for more people.
Goal 3: Make bicycling safer for cyclists of all ages and abilities Goal 4: Accommodate bicyclists of all backgrounds and skill levels Goal 5: Secure funding to rapidly develop the bicycle network Goal 6: Continuously evaluate and monitor progress

Programs
This section of the Bicycle Master Plan outlines a focused set of high-impact programs designed to enhance bicycle safety and increase ridership. While infrastructure improvements are crucial, these programs play a key role in fostering a bicycle-friendly culture by equipping cyclists with essential resources and promoting safer interactions between all road users. The recommended programs were identified based on input from City staff, key stakeholders, and community feedback gathered through in-person and digital engagement efforts. The following initiatives are detailed below:
1. Bicycle Safety Education
2. Bicycle Safety Educational Flyers for Events
3. Bicycle Donation and Refurbishment
Network and Project Development
This section provides a detailed list of proposed project locations aimed at enhancing the bicycle network by filling gaps and incorporating dedicated bicycle facilities where feasible. The project recommendations are informed by an analysis of existing conditions, collision and safety data, prior planning efforts, and input from the community and stakeholders.
Additional considerations influencing project locations and design include surrounding land use, roadway right-of-way, parking availability and demand, and traffic data from 2017 and 2024. Most proposed projects are designed to fit within the existing roadway space, requiring only signage and striping, without necessitating right-of-way acquisition or curb modifications. However, two locations, Bonita Avenue, where the City plans curb modifications, and San Dimas Avenue north of the Metro “Gold Line/A Line“ Station, where the potential acquisition of right of way would provide a safe Class 1 facility through this busy section of San Dimas Ave. The Class 1 facility would provide a physical separation of the bicycles from vehicular traffic.
Community Boards and Commissions
The draft 2025 Bicycle Master Plan was presented to the following boards and committees:
• The City of San Dimas Parks and Recreation Commission (March 18, 2025) • The City of San Dimas Traffic Safety Committee (March 19, 2025) • The City of San Dimas Planning Commission (May 15, 2025) The City Council reviewed the Bicycle Master Plan Update which incorporated feedback received from the commissions at a Study Session on June 24, 2025.
Project Level Design
While the Bicycle Master Plan is a planning document for the overall City, implementation of projects that impact parking or reducing lane widths will require engineering design and engineering plans which would be brought back to City Council for approval before construction.
Approve San Dimas Citywide Bicycle Master Plan 2025 and Resolution 2025-44 Page 5 For the Meeting of August 12, 2025
ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect not to approve the 2025 Bicycle Master Plan Draft. However, lack of an updated Bicycle Master Plan may negatively impact the City ‘s competitiveness for future street improvement grants.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

1 City of San Dimas - 2025 Citywide Bicycle Master Plan Update The previous Bicycle Master Plan for the City of San Dimas was adopted in August 2011. The 2025 Bicycle Master
Plan Update is a response to the many changes that have occurred in the intervening years: Changing commuting
patterns, new initiatives related to active transportation, new developments in best practices for building bicycle infrastructure, and concerning safety trends that require proactive safety countermeasures.
This Bicycle Master Plan Update contains an overview of types, followed by a summary of existing conditions in the City related to bicycling: Existing bikeways, gaps in the bicycle network, bicycle parking facilities, and analysis of collision trends involving bicyclists in the last 5 years. This is followed by a summary of the community outreach efforts that were undertaken as part of the Bicycle Master Plan Update, which included an interactive website, outreach via multiple channels, and a series of community meetings and other events.
This is followed by revised goals, objectives, and policies intended to guide the provision of bicycle infrastructure in the City, as well as recommendations for programs that may encourage bicycling and increase the mode share. Finally, the Bicycle Master Plan Update presents a list of proposed bikeway projects intended to achieve these goals and
objectives. The projects are grouped under the following categories:
(shared-use paths)
(on-street bike lanes)
(bicycle routes and bicycle
boulevards)
The listing of proposed bikeways is followed by a
prioritized project list which applies an established
prioritization methodology to organized projects into
the following potential timeframes:
–
Class III Bicycle Boulevards and Class III Bicycle
Routes in the central area of the City
–
Class II Bicycle Lanes in the central area of the City
Class III Bicycle Routes and Class II Bicycle Lanes
in the southern area of the City
Class I Shared Use Paths in the Puddingstone and
Via Verde areas.
Class IV facilities may be considered in the event of
increased bicycle demand.
The City does not necessarily have to move in this
order when implementing projects; depending on
circumstances, it may be possible to move ahead
with lower-priority projects if they are part of a street improvement project, if funding becomes available,
or if community priorities otherwise change. Given
the important role bicycling plays in San Dimas, this
Bicycle Master Plan Update is intended to guide the
City in implementing a series of feasible, cost-effective projects to offer residents a range of mobility options in a safe and comfortable environment.

1.1. Setting and Background
The previous Bicycle Master Plan for the City of San Dimas was adopted in August 2011. Since then, many changes
have taken place. Commuting patterns have changed, partly related to the COVID-19 pandemic; the regional population has continued to grow; and some of the improvements
recommended in the 2011 plan have been implemented.
Many new initiatives related to active transportation have begun across the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), from the
planned SGV Greenway Network to the GoSGV regional
e-bike share program and Active Streets events in various cities.
At the same time, cities throughout Southern California and elsewhere have shifted their practices toward building new types of bicycle infrastructure that were rarely seen in the United States before the 2010s, such as protected bike lanes, bike boxes, two-way on-street cycle tracks, and bike signal heads. A new edition of the California Manual published, containing guidance for several new types of bicycle-related marking and signage.
At a national level, bicycling safety trends have been
concerning. According to data provided by the National
Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA),
annual bicyclist fatalities in the United States increased by 55 percent between 2008 and 2023. Proactive safety
countermeasures combined with the latest and best practices in the Four E’s (engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency response) are needed in order to continuously improve San Dimas’s status as an enjoyable and safe place to ride a bike.
Given the important role bicycling plays in San Dimas, this Bicycle Master Plan Update presents recommendations
to offer the City’s residents a range of mobility options in a safe and comfortable environment. This Bicycle Master Plan Update was supported by input from a wide range of stakeholders and informed by public input from series of community engagement events designed to reach as much
developments in best practices with regard to bicycle facility design, operations, and safety, drawing upon the latest research.
1. INTRODUCTION

1.2. Relevant Documents
1. – the
recommended projects from the 2011 Bicycle Master
Plan are shown in Exhibit 1. The Class I paths in
the 2011 Bicycle Master Plan (one along the Metro
line, and the other connecting Cypress Street to San
Dimas Ave) are not carried over to the current plan
2. 3.
- Although it does not include proposals
that directly enter San Dimas due to jurisdictional
boundaries, Los Angeles County is currently
developing their Bicycle Master Plan update for 2025.
Their proposals include improvements to multiple
roadways that connect directly to San Dimas. While
their proposals were all considered in the development
of the San Dimas Bicycle Master Plan update, only
the Class IV bikeway on Valley Center Ave from Arrow
Hwy to Cypress St was included. Due to complications
Class IV bikeways on Cypress St, Covina Blvd, and
Arrow Hwy are not proposed to be extended into San
Dimas.
The following existing plans were incorporated into or considered in the development of the Bicycle Master Plan Update:

6. (DTSP) in fall 2024, which covers the entirety of the Downtown area, encompassing the entirety of Bonita
Ave and areas just north and south of it. The plan
focuses on encouraging transit-oriented development
and designs that promote multimodality and connect
with the upcoming A Line station. The DTSP contains
multiple proposed improvements to the bicycle
network, all of which have been either incorporated
or considered in the proposals for the Bicycle Master
Plan.

1.3. Definitions
Typical examples of these classes of bikeways are illustrated in the following exhibits. – Class I bikeways, otherwise known as shared-use paths, are facilities that are designed exclusively for use by pedestrians, bicycles and other micromobility devices. These paths are fully separated from the automobile right-of-way and can run alongside roadways or through areas unreachable by cars such as parks or wooded areas. Class I bikeways are normally paved and accessible to all types of bicycles (as distinct from mountain biking trails and other types of unpaved trails) and are often striped with a centerline for two directions of The minimum width per Caltrans design standards is 8 feet, with 10 feet being the preferred width.
Exhibit 2. Class I bikeway (shared-use path)
8 City of San Dimas - 2025 Citywide Bicycle Master Plan Update – Bike lanes are striped along existing streets, typically with one lane on each – These do not provide any separated space on the road for bicycles, but indicate a preferred route for bicyclists using existing roads. The Class III route is typically indicated with signs and may include sharrows (shared lane markings).
– Distinct from Class III routes designated on higher-volume roadways, which should be 25 mph at the highest, which is the prima facie speed limit for residential streets per CVC §22352(b).
Exhibit 3. Class II bikeway (bicycle lane)
Exhibit 4. Class III bikeway (bicycle route)
9 City of San Dimas - 2025 Citywide Bicycle Master Plan Update – A Class IV bikeway is designated for the exclusive use of bicycles can consist of a two-way bikeway (with opposing lanes adjacent to each other) or a bike lane for each direction on each side of the street. The example below shows one Class IV bike lane in each direction.
Exhibit 5. Class IV bikeway (protected bicycle lane)
1.4. E-bikes
In recent years, the use of e-bikes (bicycles with an electric motor that assists the user’s pedaling, therefore allowing higher speeds with less effort) has greatly increased. The bike industry has developed a 3-class system for classifying e-bikes:
permits it. People under the age of 16 are prohibited from operating a Class III e-bike (CVC 21213).
10 City of San Dimas - 2025 Citywide Bicycle Master Plan Update
2.1. Existing Bikeways
This section contains an overview of the existing bicycle facilities in San Dimas, including the existing bicycle network and bicycle parking facilities, followed by an analysis of bicycle-involved collisions.
The City of San Dimas contains
approximately 20 miles of designated
bikeways, including about 7 miles of Class
II bicycle lanes and about 13 miles of
Class III bicycle routes. A list of existing
bikeways is shown in Exhibit 1, and a map
of existing bikeways is shown in Exhibit 2.
The Downtown area and nearby blocks
are organized in a grid pattern, providing
strong connectivity for short trips within
the area. To improve bicycle connectivity
for longer trips, the focus should shift
toward developing well-designed facilities
in key parts of the city. These include
enhancing north-south routes between
Downtown and southern recreational
areas, establishing east-west links across
CA-57, and creating connections to the
San Dimas Metro station to facilitate multimodal travel.

2.2. Network Gap Analysis
Through site visits, data analysis, and community input, the following principal gaps in the bicycle network were There is a desire in the community for better bicycle connectivity to Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park and Raging Waters.
Existing bicycle connectivity to the future site of the San Dimas Foothill Gold Line Metro station is limited, and there is a desire in the community for a strong north-south bicycle connection between the Metro station and Bonelli Park.
There is a lack of options for cyclists to get between Downtown and areas west of CA-57, which include major commercial developments and residential areas.
Arrow Highway, although a major east-west corridor for the City, is not bike-friendly.
Neighborhoods south of the Walnut Creek Regional Park area are not well connected to areas to the north, especially on the west side of CA-57.
Much of the City’s existing bicycle network consists of Class III bicycle facilities, and the opportunity exists to close gaps in this network by building more Class II lanes.
There are opportunities to connect to existing bicycle facilities in neighboring cities.
Exhibit 8 shows the existing bicycle facilities in San Dimas alongside existing bicycle facilities in adjacent cities to which there is an opportunity to connect or to improve the existing connection. The map also shows existing unpaved trails and major destinations such as the future Metro station, Frank G Bonelli Regional Park, City parks, schools, and the San Dimas Sportsplex.

2.3. Bicycle Parking
In November 2024, GTS conducted site visits to assess and inventory bicycle parking across San Dimas. The locations number of spaces, is shown in Exhibit 9.2, and a map of their locations is shown in Exhibit 10.
Bicycle racks were found in 22 locations for a combined 181 grid (36 spaces), post & ring (20 spaces), wave (85 spaces), inverted-u (20 spaces), and wheelwell-secured (20 spaces).
The different types of bicycle racks are shown in Exhibit 9.1.
The City maintains an ongoing commitment to enhancing
bicycle parking compliance through enforcement of
municipal code § 18.156.060, which covers bicycle parking requirements, including short-term bike parking minimums (coverage for 5% of vehicle occupancy with a minimum of one 2-space rack) and long-term minimums (buildings with over ten-tenant occupants require racks for 5% of vehicle parking capacity with a minimum of one two-bicycle space).
As shown in Exhibit 9.2, while many major retail centers contain bicycle parking, there are also opportunities to install more racks and improve bicycle parking at various locations.
The municipal code also stipulates that bicycle parking facilities “may be an approved bicycle rack where a user can secure both wheels and the frame of the bicycle or
may be a fully enclosed space or locker accessible only to the owner or operator of the bicycle, which protects the bike from inclement weather.” As such, opportunities exist to upgrade racks at some locations with older bike rack designs that only secure the front wheel of the bicycle.
The bicycle is locked to a single
vertical post which includes
a ring structure for additional
support, allowing the frame
and wheels to be secured.
A simple, sturdy structure
where bikes can be locked
to the U shape, securing the
frame and the wheels.
A series of curved, wavelike structures that can
accommodate multiple bikes
by allowing them to be locked
at various points.
A rectangular frame made up
of several parallel bars. This
design allows multiple bikes to
be locked in a row.
An older type of design that
secures only the bike’s front
wheel. The bicycle (minus the
front wheel) can potentially be
stolen, and/or the front wheel
can be bent.

2.4. Collision History
Prior to identifying locations for new projects and network expansions, GTS conducted an analysis of bicycleinvolved collisions over a 5-year period (January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2023). Collision data for the 5-year analysis was collected from the California Highway Patrol’s The analysis includes all reported collisions involving a bicycle and a motor vehicle within the City of San Dimas jurisdiction during that timeframe.
According to the available data, there were 40 bicycleinvolved collisions from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2023. The distribution of bicycle-involved collisions year by year, categorized by the severity of injury, is shown in Exhibit 11. Consistent with statewide and nationwide trends, there has been an increase in collisions since the COVID-19 pandemic. Bicycle-involved collisions increased by 125% in the City from 2019 to 2021.

3.1. Interactive Project Website
To ensure adequate representation of the community in the development of the Bicycle Master Plan, the City conducted a series of outreach events and efforts. The aim of conducting outreach was to advertise the plan, collect critical feedback on what residents and visitors viewed as shortcomings with existing bicycle infrastructure, and receive input on where the City should focus their efforts on bicycle infrastructure and program improvements. This chapter outlines the efforts conducted throughout the development of the plan.
To advertise the Bicycle Master Plan update, educate the community, and collect feedback on both existing bicycle infrastructure and desired improvements, an interactive project website was hosted through Social Pinpoint. Websites both upcoming and previously hosted events.
Feedback was collected for a 4-month period from October 2024 through February 2025.
During the period that feedback was collected, the website saw 976 unique visitors and received 84 survey responses and 48 comments on the interactive map.Screenshots of the homepage and interactive map are shown in Exhibit 17 and Exhibit

3.4. Public Workshops
Two public workshops were hosted for the Bicycle Master Plan Update. The workshops are described in this section. introduced to the project and given the opportunity to give feedback and express their visions for the future of bicycling attendees from the community in addition to City and GTS staff).
The following is a summary of the comments provided
by the community at this workshop:
Buffered bike lanes are preferred, especially to
provide safety from trucks.
Construction projects can be hazardous for bicyclists
since the road surface can be uneven in addition to
other obstacles. This has been an issue on Bonita
Ave between San Dimas Canyon Rd and Walnut Ave.
Road rage is sometimes an issue.
Bicyclists may be safer on sidewalks in some areas.
Connectivity is needed to major destinations,
including Costco and neighborhoods on opposite
sides of the railroad tracks.
There may be safety issues for cyclists crossing the
new Metro tracks.
A participant suggested maintaining existing vehicle
lanes while adding bike lanes to help prevent road
congestion and potential driver frustration.
Puddingstone Drive is narrow and curvy, with visibility problems.
There is a choke point on San Dimas Ave (southbound)
between Bonita Ave and the Metro tracks.
The turn from San Dimas Ave into Bonelli Park can
San Dimas Avenue needs bicycle improvements
south of Via Verde.
A Class II bike lane on Bonita Ave would connect to
the existing Class II in the adjacent City of La Verne, Gladstone St is challenging for bicyclists, especially
west of Amelia Ave.
San Dimas Canyon Road is narrow and curvy with
potential hazards.

35 City of San Dimas - 2025 Citywide Bicycle Master Plan Update More green paint is desired to make bike lanes more
prominent. While the City of La Verne implemented
green striping, its appearance has deteriorated over
two years, making it less visually appealing.
Consider sustainability and maintenance cost of
bicycle lanes prior implementing.
The General Plan should include a statement that
bike lanes or facilities should be considered in all
cases of road resurfacing or reconstruction.
Nearby communities may have good examples of
signage types, lights, and paint, such as downtown
La Verne.
Subsequent materials should include a map
highlighting the changes from the old Bicycle Master
Plan.
The Class IV lanes on Bonita that are proposed in
solution, especially if parking needs to be removed;
Class II may be preferred.
Reach out to Incycle and others for feedback.
Regional bicycle connections are desired
An attendee raised concerns about presenting to
or receiving feedback from bicycle groups, noting
that the comments would be biased toward
bicyclists rather than considering all road users
Lower-down bicycle racks may result in more theft,
because they do not allow the frame to be secured;
higher racks are preferred.
Potential bike lockers at Metro station
Accessing the new Metro station and bike parking
there may be challenging, especially at the adjacent
intersection.
The second public workshop was hosted on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at City Hall. Members of the community were given the opportunity to comment on the proposed bicycle improvements in the draft Bicycle Master Plan Update. This event staff.
The following is a summary of the comments provided by the community at this workshop, organized into a few major categories.
E-bikes sometimes overtake regular bicycles in the
bike lane and this may be unsafe.
Bike path along Flood control channel can be
accessed around the intersection of Amelia Ave and
Baseline Rd. Any access opportunities in the City?
Bicyclists ride southbound through Bonelli Park to
avoid the hill climb on San Dimas Ave.
Golden Hills Road was previously better for bicycling
and is now more challenging with the steeper slope.
Walnut Ave and North San Dimas Ave are good
alternate routes for bicycling (compared to parallel,
busier roads).
Arrow Hwy is dangerous for bicyclists with high speed
vehicles.
On San Dimas Ave south of Bonita Ave, the newly
implemented streetscape does not accommodate
bicyclists due to Metro station design requirements.
The left turn from San Dimas Ave to Puddingstone
are desired.
Consider San Dimas Canyon north of Foothill Blvd
for bicycle improvements.
Maimone Avenue and Arrow Highway experience high
a bicycle lane may exacerbate congestion and

5.1. Bicycle Safety Education for Bicyclists and
Drivers
Proper training can help bicyclists to ride more safely and avoid collisions. Multiple options exist for community bicycle safety education, from “bicycle rodeos” and other bicycle safety programs in K-12 schools to the Smart Cycling courses offered by the League of American Bicyclists.
In addition to these skills, bike rodeos often offer bike safety brakes and tires). They are typically organized by schools, community groups, and law enforcement agencies working
together.
to encourage safe
behavior around bicyclists is also important. Communities have targeted cyclist safety efforts toward drivers using billboards, posters, vehicle stickers, social media,
enforcement programs, and professional driver training
programs.
Educate cyclists about riding safely and
educate drivers about safely sharing the roads.

5.3. Bicycle Donation and Refurbishment
sharing the road. Flyers may include information regarding safety statistics, wearing safety equipment, riding near vehicles, proper signaling, bicycle handling, and more.
Many communities have successfully operated bicycle donation and refurbishment programs, where old or donated bikes are repaired and given to individuals who need them. The repairs are typically carried out by volunteers, community members, or professional mechanics. The recipients could include low-income families, students, individuals facing transportation challenges, or those experiencing homelessness. Some programs also sell refurbished bikes at low prices, making them affordable for a wider range of people. In some cases, volunteers can receive a bike after completing a certain number of volunteer hours.
Bicycle donation programs are often coupled with “bike kitchens” – a co-operative type of space where tools, replacement parts, and mechanics are available for cyclists to repair their bikes at low or no cost, while learning repair skills. The City can support this effort by providing booth space at community events for local bicycle shops and community volunteers.
Improve bicycle safety by informing cyclists
of how to ride safely, and informing drivers of how to drive safely when bicyclists are present.

6. NETWORK AND PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT
6.1. Proposed Bikeways
Based on consideration of the existing conditions,
collision and safety analysis, existing plans, and
community and stakeholder input, this section
contains a comprehensive list of proposed project
locations to expand the network and close gaps while
installing dedicated bicycle facilities where feasible.
Other considerations that impacted project locations
and types include surrounding land uses, roadway
right-of-way, parking availability and demand, and
proposed projects is shown in Exhibit 35 and a map
is shown in Exhibit 36. Cross section renderings of
a selection of Class II and Class IV proposals are
shown after the map.
For most of the projects, right-of-way acquisition is not expected to be necessary and the projects would take
place within the existing roadway space, requiring
primarily signing and striping without movement of
curbs.

7. PROJECT PRIORITIZATION
7.1. Prioritization Methodology
The improvements to the bicycle network recommended in this plan are prioritized in this section according to a twoimprovement projects, namely:
In the second tier, projects are prioritized according to the following additional metrics:
in terms of crash
reduction, determined using the methodology
established by Caltrans for estimating the societal
cost of crashes and the established crash reduction
factor (CRF) for each type of bicycle facility. Note: A CRF for Class III facilities has not been established
due to a lack of research on the topic.
The following societal crash costs were used for cost1 Fatal & Severe Injury: $11,200,000
To what extent would the project improve connectivity in the City’s bicycle existed?
Is the project supported by the community, based on public comments and input from stakeholders?
How much, and how effectively, would the project expand the City’s bicycle network? Other Visible Injury & Complaint of Pain: $167,000
Property Damage Only: $16,000
The following crash reduction factors (CRFs) were
used:2
Class I Bicycle Path: 0.8
Class II bicycle lane: 0.35
Class III Bicycle Boulevard: 0.37
Class III Bicycle Route: No CRF available

53 City of San Dimas - 2025 Citywide Bicycle Master Plan Update For planning purposes, the following approximate project costs were used:
$1,500,000 per mile
$50,000 per mile (this estimate assumes that class II bicycle facilities will not be constructed as standalone projects but will be incorporated into regularly scheduled resurfacing projects; the estimate is intended to cover the additional cost of adding the class II facility beyond the cost of the regular resurfacing.)
$10,000 per mile
$20,000 per mile
These planning-level cost estimates were developed based on research of the approximate cost of similar types of primary reference sources were other cities’ capital improvement plans, bicycle master plans, and active transportation plans.
To prioritize projects, the factors listed above were assigned scores between 1 and 3 points as follows:
Network expansion and connectivity improvement (measured by project length):
Less than 0.5 mile: 1 point
0.5 to 1 mile: 2 points
More than 1 mile: 3 points
Estimated project cost:
Under $10,000: 3 points
$10,000 to $100,000: 2 points
More than $100,000: 1 point
multiplying the estimated 5-year cost of crashes by the crash reduction factor. Note: Crash reduction factors have not been established for Class III bicycle facilities.
Over $1,000,000: 3 points
Under $1,000,000: 2 points
Based on the above factors, the following section contains an Implementation Plan that prioritizes projects according to the number of points assigned. Projects are also organized into short-term (1-2 years) and long-term (3-5 years) time ranges as well as a non-constrained implementation plan for the next 10-15 years following the high-priority projects.
54 City of San Dimas - 2025 Citywide Bicycle Master Plan Update In addition to considering the prioritization metrics
described in the previous section, this Implementation
Plan organizes the Bicycle Master Plan projects into the following phases:
Class III Bicycle Boulevards and Class III Bicycle
Routes in the central area of the City
–
Class II Bicycle Lanes in the central area of the City
Class III Bicycle Routes and Class II Bicycle Lanes in
the southern area of the City
Class I Shared Use Paths in the Puddingstone and
Via Verde areas
Possible Class IV Bicycle Lanes in Downtown San
Dimas
The prioritized list of projects, organized by these
phases, is shown on the following page. The ranking
of projects serves as high-level guidance and does not
mean the City will necessarily implement each project in this order. Depending on circumstances, some projects
may be implemented sooner or later than what is
indicated on the list.
