Selection Results The Golden Avenue at Highland Avenue bus stops in the City of San Bernardino, are in a mixed-use area that includes residential to the north and commercial and civic facilities to the south. The bus stops were selected through input from Omnitrans’ On-Board Passenger Survey and Focus Group Meetings, and project surveys and stakeholder interviews, collisions near the bus stop, demographics, and Technical Advisory Committee input. Several reported crimes near the bus stops have included assault and robbery.

Pedestrian Improvements Pedestrian recommendations near the Golden Avenue at Highland Avenue bus stops are intended to provide safe crossing points, provide additional pedestrian visibility and continuous sidewalks to bus stops. As shown in Figure 5-20, recommended pedestrian improvements include installation of missing sidewalks to close gaps within a half a mile from the bus stops. High-visibility continental crosswalks, with lines spacing to avoid wheel paths to help reduce re-painting frequency, are recommended at all major intersections. Curb ramps with truncated domes and improved lighting should be installed to ensure safety and access for all users. Identified existing curb or missing curb ramps to be replaced with ramps that meet minimum ADA requirements. A midblock crossing is recommended on Highland Avenue approximately a quarter mile to the east to provide a safe pedestrian crossing point at Mountain Avenue intersection. The midblock crossing includes either a RRFB or PHB (See section 4.2.3 for a description).
