12. CONSIDERATION OF ROUTE 30 TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION FOR ACCEPTANCE OF AN
AT GRADE/DEPRESSED PROFILE FOR THE PROPOSED ROUTE 30 FREEWAY Staff report presented by
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer.
Gary Cohoe, Caltrans, gave a brief description of the design of the freeway.
Gary Moon, SANBAG, stated they have worked together with everyone to address the concerns of the
residents and have a plan he hoped everyone would be happy with. He stated both SANBAG and
Caltrans support the principal recommendations regarding the freeway main line vertical profile, and
encouraged the Council to approve these recommendations. He stated this endorsement of the Ad
Hoc Committee's recommendation does not extend, however, for the proposal for the Sapphire
crossing. He stated this proposal alone will add $17,000,000 to the total project cost for the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. He stated they believe the proposal deserves further consideration from both
a cost and design standpoint. He stated an option is under development which has not been previously
reviewed and that there might be others that are not yet identified. He felt this new proposal should
be given further consideration so that everyone can be assured that this or any other option that is
finally adopted truly meets the needs of everyone. He asked that the Council delay a decision on this
portion of the proposal, the Sapphire crossing portion, in order to allow time to consider this in more
detail.
Mayor Alexander asked when is an actual action by the Council necessary on the profile of the freeway to
coincide with the needs-of putting together the whole package. He stated he hated to split this action up and
leave the impression that the Council is in favor of SANBAG's new proposed changes.
Gary Moon, SANBAG, stated they have already operationalized the recommendations of the Ad Hoc
Committee relative to the general profile throughout the community. He stated on the segment
extending from Haven Avenue eastward, they are already assuming that portion of the Ad Hoc
Committee's recommendation will be approved and will be the actual design so they are proceeding
with the final design activity. He stated a final decision by the Council is necessary relative to the entire
remaining design issues which the Council may have optimistically around March, April or May when
they have the final environmental impact statement, at which point they will be able begin acquiring
right-of-way. He stated deferring action from Haven west will not slow them down or impact them in
any way. He stated their only concern would be that they arrive at a final and mutual decision on what

the freeway is going to look like in all regards, including frontage roads, local access and interchange
locations, etc. that might hold up the Council's decision to move forward with the freeway agreement
with Caltrans, which is the key trigger to proceed with implementing the freeway.
Councilmember Williams asked when is the last time that line items on the budget were really looked at
regarding mitigating measures being taken, different things that are happening, to see if possibly some of the
priorities have changed. She thought prices for different things may have changed and that maybe some of
the money could be reallocated to other areas such as the Sapphire portion if this is the priority at this time.
Gary Moon, SANBAG, stated what she is describing is a continuous process. He stated they are
constantly re-evaluating their forecast of revenues and constantly trying to refine their estimate of costs.
He stated they are constantly re-evaluating the basic construction sequencing plan which is the shifting
of priorities Councilmember Williams was talking about. He stated this is a constant ongoing activity
that they are engaged in.
Councilmember Williams stated there are budgeted mitigation measures and other budgeted items, and asked
if each of those budgets has been re-evaluated.
Gary Moon, SANBAG, stated no, those will not be changed.
Councilmember Biane asked if the Task Force was aware of the changes Mr. Moon was proposing for
Sapphire.
Mr. Moon stated no, but that he was not ready to discuss any thing at this time.
Councilmember Curatalo asked if Mr. Moon had expressed his concerns for Sapphire during the Committee
meetings.
Mr. Moon stated yes that they were aware of his concerns, and that he is asking for a little more time
on this portion of the freeway. He felt it would be a good idea for the Task Force to review the Sapphire
area again and to reconsider this portion. He stated they are happy with everything else, but would
appreciate a h.o d on the Sapphire portion so the Task Force could reconsider his new proposal.
Mayor Alexander stated Rancho Cucamonga is not trying to build a "Taj Mahal". He felt it was a good idea to
at least listen to Mr. Moon's proposal.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public input. Addressing the City Council were:
Karen Schmauss, 6290 Morning Place, stated Mr. Moon has stated that Rancho Cucamonga is holding
up things and that now he is wanting to present a new plan for Sapphire. She stated she did not agree
with the newspaper article and that the Task Force represents the whole community. She did not think
it was good to hold up the vote tonight.
Gary ChrislJan, Upland resident and Rancho Cucamonga Chamber member, stated he was opposed
to the Task Force's vote on the freeway design because of the additional $17,000,000 it would cost to
do what the Task Force wanted. He stated he would like to See the other options for Sapphire.
Mr. Lansdale, Sapphire, felt they should get on with the freeway and thought they should go over
Sapphire.

what is going to happen with the freeway near his street.

He also felt the Task Force should listen to Mr. Moon's proposal.
Don Donnelly, Transportation Committee of CLOUT, felt the Council should go with SANBAG's
recommendation and listen to what they have to say in order to reach a compromise on this issue.
Bryan Mulligan, 5709 Turquoise, felt the Council should go ahead and vote for the Task Force's
recommendation in its entirety.
Al Hudgens,. Caltrans, asked that the Council not vote tonight on the Sapphire portion as was
recommended by the Task Force.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he is very skeptical about waiting to hear what SANBAG wants to propose.
Mayor Alexander asked Mr. Hudgens how long it would take for a presentation to be prepared for their
proposal.
Mr. Hudgens stated' it could be done at the September Task Force meeting.
Councilmember Williams felt it would only be fair to present the proposal to the whole Task Force instead of
doing it tonight.
Mr. Hudgens stated he felt SANBAG and Caltrans have always tried to be professional and fair.

matter tonight and then possibly modify it if the Task Force liked SANBAG's idea.

Councilmember Gutierrez stated he opposed the initiative and felt the Council should be involved in the decision
making process for this matter.
Councilmember Biane stated he felt the Accord was important to the residents of the City and felt the City
should reject the measure for the ballot.
Councilmember Williams wondered how this ever got approved to go on the ballot and felt possibly it might
have been the "tricky" wording. She felt the City needed to ban together with the community to fight this
initiative.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he agreed with Councilmember Williams. He felt this should be the first step
and for the residents to be proactive and do something about this.
Mayor Alexander opened the matter up for public input. Addressing the City Council were:

be looked at.
