CENSUS TRACT 8

Del Rosa Avenue at Highland Avenue

Selection Results The Del Rosa Avenue at Highland Avenue bus stops are located in the City of San Bernardino, approximately 0.4 miles south of State Route 210. The bus stops were selected by the TAC due to its high ridership and the various land uses surrounding it, including commercial, industrial, single- and multi-family residential and the reported crimes in the area. A high number of bicycle and pedestrian collisions have occurred near the bus stops. Several reported crimes near the bus stops have included homicide, assaults, thefts, and narcotics.

Pedestrian Improvements Pedestrian recommendations for the Del Rosa Avenue at Highland Avenue bus stops intend to improve the pedestrian environment around it to ensure safe crossing points, increase visibility of people walking, and continuous sidewalks. As shown in Figure 5-23, improvement recommendations include installing missing sidewalks to close gaps along certain streets, as well as the installation of high visibility crosswalks at major intersections for enhanced safety and comfort. Mid-block crossings are also recommended to provide pedestrians with crossing points between intersections, particularly with the existing longer block lengths.
