Census Tract 9

Highland Avenue at Eucalyptus Drive

Selection Results The Highland Avenue at Eucalyptus Drive bus stops are in the City of San Bernardino adjacent to the City of Highland. The bus stops were selected due to the various land uses surrounding it, including commercial, vacant, and single- and multi-family residential. A high number of bicycle and pedestrian collisions have occurred near the bus stops. Several reported crimes near the bus stop have included vandalism and multiple assaults.

Pedestrian Improvements Pedestrian recommendations near the Highland Avenue at Eucalyptus Drive bus stops are intended to provide safe crossing points and provide continuous sidewalks to bus stops. As shown in Figure 5-26, recommended pedestrian improvements include the installation of missing sidewalks to close gaps within half a mile from the bus stop. 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 by the local jurisdiction 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. The City of San Bernadino should explore the feasibility of formalizing the desire line for walking along the “goat path” in the northeast corner of this intersection with some sort of walking facility.
