Pedestrian Facilities Census Tract 2 encompasses the Rialto Shopping Center and a Transit First/Last Mile focus area according to the PIPP. Adjacent to the Census Tract is Eisenhower High School. The major arterials, such as Riverside Avenue, Baseline Road, Willow Avenue, Etiwanda Avenue and Walnut Avenue, have a connected sidewalk network and existing curb ramps, as seen in Figure 2-18. According to the sidewalk data from SBCTA, 76 percent of the built-out pedestrian network exists. Crosswalks and curb ramps are present at all signalized intersections. As in the other Census Tracts, there are few crosswalks, even fewer protected crossings for people walking, and relatively large distances to walk to arrive at signalized intersections.

While this study area has a predominantly grid street network, the north-south blocks are roughly twice the length of the east-west blocks. In between these large blocks are cul-de-sacs and a disconnected internal road network where several streets do not intersect at a fourway intersection. Some neighborhood streets, such as Holly Street and Shamrock Avenue, can be found offset to a connecting street, creating challenges to provide safe crossing locations.

Neighborhoods south of Baseline Road and east to Riverside Avenue have missing sidewalks and curb ramps needed to access bus stops along these corridors. For example, the bus stop on Riverside Avenue and Wabash Street is connected by a sidewalk on Riverside Avenue, however, Wabash Street is missing sidewalks on both sides. Neighborhoods to the west and north have a well-connected sidewalk network to access the bus stops on Riverside Avenue and Baseline Road. There have been 18 reported pedestrian related collisions with 10 occurring on Baseline Road.

Ten of the 16 bus stops have bus shelters, and four others have benches. Two bus stops, Riverside Avenue and Wabash Street, lack bus shelters and benches due to narrow sidewalk widths and being located along residential streets.
