SUBJECT: Update for the Design of the Entrance Bridge to the Equestrian Arena at
Heritage Park.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Trails Advisory Committee receive and file an update on the Heritage
Park Bridge Replacement Project, including the design features incorporated into the bridge
construction plans currently in the design phase.
BACKGROUND:
Heritage Park is in the northwest area of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, southwest of Hillside
Road and Beryl Street. This update is to provide the Committee with the latest information on the
progress of the replacement of three bridges at the Park, previously identified as bridges E, F,
and G at the entrance to the equestrian center with a single multi use bridge. The design was last
presented at the Trails Advisory Committee on February 12, 2020 and recommended for City
Council approval by the Planning Commission on March 11, 2020. The focus of this update is to
highlight some of the design features that have been incorporated into the plans for the new
replacement bridge. Currently, the project plans are developed to a 65% complete stage.
ANALYSIS:
The bridge construction plans that are developed to the 65% complete stage include the following
features:
1) A combined pedestrian, equestrian, and vehicle bridge, with uses separated by an
integrated solid concrete barrier.
2) Two post top lighting fixtures have been added to the bridge entrance with the addition of
one new light pole and one pole relocated from nearby.
3) The existing drive aisle double swing gate will be reused and reset to the new elevated
grade about 8 inches above the ground. Automatic gate openers are not included at this
time because a sustainable funding mechanism for maintenance costs has not been
identified.
4) A pedestrian stairway has been added to accommodate an 8-inch increase in grade with
the new bridge.

5) A solar powered web accessible security camera with night vision will be installed on a
post on the bridge and aimed towards the arena parking lot.
6) Eight trees will be removed and replaced with four trees near the bridge and four trees
where needed elsewhere on the Heritage Park site.
The new bridge construction requires additional improvements for ADA compliance that includes
a compliant pathway to be incorporated through the new bridge along with a continuous concrete
pathway to the public use areas of the equestrian arena building—utilized by the Alta Loma Riding
Club for meetings and fund-raising activities—and two ADA compliant parking stalls in the
equestrian arena parking lot.
The next steps for the project include bringing the project plans to the 95% stage and proceeding
forward with obtaining required San Bernardino County Flood Control District and United States
Army Corps of Engineers permits before staff solicitates bids for construction. It is anticipated that
the permitting process will take 12 months and anticipate construction beginning in Fall 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adequate funding is available in the Park Development District No. 85 (PD-85) and Fire Capital
Projects (288) if permits and construction bids can be obtained as early as this fiscal year, FY21-
22. Otherwise, it is anticipated that similar funding would need to be budgeted in FY 22-23.
