IBI GROUP SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN REPORT OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT & SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN The Barton Road Specific Plan is being amended to permit low and moderate-income housing for senior citizens. The City plans to study High Grove as a possible commuter rail station, and also as a hub for public transit to serve Barton Corridor, parks and other activity centers. One of the implementing actions is to work with Omnitrans and SANBAG to improve internal circulation and regional connectivity. To accommodate future traffic volume, some of the major transportation routes that are designated for significant improvements are: • Barton Road corridor • Michigan Street from Commerce Way to Barton Road • Barton Road/I-215 interchange • La Cadena Drive • Mt. Vernon Avenue and Commerce Way proposed to be improved to secondary highway standards • Main Street, west of Michigan The City plans to study High Grove as a possible commuter rail station that would serve as a bus transit hub serving activity centers including the Barton corridor, parks, and schools. Actions to work with SANBAG to ensure access to regional transit and commuter rail are addressed in the San Bernardino County Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Other actions that are planned to be implemented include: • Promotion and facilitation of bicycle usage through citywide network of bikeways. • Development of human-scale buildings to encourage pedestrian movement. • Creation of convenient and affordable bus service by coordination with regional transit agencies. • Improvement of internal circulation and connections by coordination with Omnitrans and SANBAG. The Circulation Element covers five technical memorandums: • Issue Identification • Existing Conditions Analysis • I-215 Freeway Access Analysis • Circulation Improvement Fee Program • Technical Amendments July 11, 2007 331
IBI GROUP SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN REPORT OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT & SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN CITY OF HIGHLAND Overview The “City of Highland General Plan” was updated in March 2006 in association with a consultant (The Planning Center, based in Orange County). Five themes have basically formed the benchmark that shaped the policies and these are: Key Relevant Points • Invigorating key activity centers • Preserving the natural setting • Stimulating jobs and economic health • Revitalizing neighborhoods • Strengthening historic links The Land Use Plan has designated enough land to accommodate 21,000 units and 72,000 residents by 2030. 60% of the city’s 11,948 acres is designated for residential uses and more than 20% is for open spaces. East Highlands Ranch Planned unit development to the east of SR-30 has been the prime shaper of the development in the city. The City plans to promote mixed-use development of the Town Center and Golden Triangle to foster social interaction. Out of the four quadrants formed by the intersection of Baseline and Palm Avenue, significant vacant land exists on the northwest quadrant and this will be the focus of totally new development. Many of the mid-block commercial uses along Baseline, which is the principal east-west corridor through the city, are redesignated to medium-density residential uses. Golden Triangle, formed by two creeks and Boulder Avenue, is a collection of vacant and agricultural lands. The few constraints for a successful master-planning effort are congestion on 5 th Street and the elimination of excellent visual resources. The General Plan aims to mitigate these constraints and facilitate a master-planned, mixed-use development. New uses will be oriented along City Creek and a new specific plan is going to be planned. To encourage the flow of industrial workers from San Bernardino International Airport (SBIA), the General Plan has designated the 5 th Street corridor to be a major employment center that includes Business Parks and other industrial land uses. Victoria Avenue, the prime entry point to the airport from I-210, is going to expand and have a concentration of commercial uses specifically at Baseline, Pacific Street, and Highland Avenue. This avenue is also seen as a potential new interchange for the I-210 Freeway. Another prime residential area known as Seven Oaks area is envisaged in the General Plan to have good access points, trail connections, open spaces, and preservation of existing natural resources. Strong connection to the Historic Village District is being emphasized. The Circulation Element of the City’s Plan mentions the connection of I-210 with SR-30 by 2007 and proposed expansion of SR-30 to six lanes near Highland. Several Omnitrans buses operate in the city. The City plans to provide park-n-ride regional bus and carpool facilities. Other goals are: • Work with Omnitrans to provide more service to the eastern side of the city July 11, 2007 332
