OmniTrans Bus Stop Safety Improvement Plan

Bus Stop Safety Improvement Plan

Bus Stop Improvements The westbound bus stop on Highland Avenue at Eucalyptus Drive supports a moderate volume of riders and should be developed as a Standard Bus Stop per Omnitrans’ Transit Design Guidelines. The bus stop is in a mixed-use zone with retail stores directly adjacent to the stop with small pockets of residential units to the north and east. The stop is adjacent to restaurants that have a large turf frontage area as shown in Figure 5-28. Due to the lack of space along the sidewalk to install a shelter, there is no bus shelter, bench and other amenities, and is only identifiable through signage. Coordination with the adjacent property owner would be required for the potential space acquisition required for a small concrete pad and shelter that could extend over the private property line. It may also be possible to install a bus shelter slightly east of the stop location in the turf area but still outside of the private property line. Streetlights and adjacent parking lot lights provide lighting at night. A concrete bus pad would help with road maintenance and damage caused by frequent bus activity at the stop. Bus stop improvements to be made to all bus stops at the intersection.

RECOMMENDED BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS

Provide Standard Bus Stop amenities including the following: -Bus shelter -Seating -Trash receptacle -Posters for transit code of conduct -Poster for smartphone app with real-time bus arrival, schedules, and payment option -Lights integrated into the bus shelter

1. Coordination between Omnitrans and City of San Bernardino to pursue funding to install bus shelter

Explore opportunities for placemaking near this stop due to ridership, safety concerns and ongoing activity by the nearby restaurants and retail. Art, additional lighting, and a small pocket park are options to explore within the available turf space.

1. Purse programs to install a demonstration project such as SCAG’s Go Human campaign 2. If well received, incorporate the placemaking space into a future redevelopment project for the vacant parcel. 3. Pursue funding to create a design and implementation

Conduct traffic analysis to evaluate a potential future bus-bicycle only lane.

City of San Bernardino to coordinate with Omnitrans on feasibility of bus-bike only lanes. Implementation is the responsibility of San Bernardino.
