HomeMy WebLinkAboutGrapevine Spring 1989City of Rancho Spring Schedule 1989 Recreation: Life's Necessity All too often we think of recreation in terms of sports ... softball, swimming, tennis, etc. Also, we frequently tend to think of recreation as something that children are involved in after school or while on summer vacation. But recreation is really much more. It can be reading a book, gardening, taking a class in photography or simply sitting on the beach to watch the sunset. Recreation is basically what each of us does with our leisure time to enhance and make the quality of our lives richer and more enjoyable. Living in Southern California provides a wealth of recreational opportunities for each of us to explore within a relatively short distance. Have you been to the Griffith Park Observatory or Zoo? How about the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, which houses some of the finest art treasures in the world. Have you hiked for a picnic lunch with your family? Or built a snowman in Mt. Baldy? Closer to home ... how about an after dinner stroll around the neighborhood or an early morning bicycle ride before beginning the day's routine. The offerings listed in the following pages provide recreation opportunities offered by your Community Services Department and are one source to consider when thinking of leisure time activities. But think also of the leisure resources available through your library; Chaffey Community College offering classes on a subject that interests you; and your local newspaper or the Calendar Section of the Los Angeles Times, for southland attractions and activities. "Life: Be In It!" is the motto of the National Recreation and Parks Association. It is the concept we should all take to heart . . . Participate . . . Get Involved . . . Enjoy Yourself . . . You're Worth It! ■ . . . � . � � � �. Bulk-Rate���... � � � .. . , . � � . . .. �.,U.S. Postage ..

Its primary focus is to enhance the quality of life for Rancho Cucamonga residents in the areas of leisure and cultural services. Operating under the direction of the City Manager, the Department prepares and presents to the City Council and the Park and Recreation Commission recommenda- for quality community services. Operationally, the Department is made up of three divisions — Administration, Park Development, and Recreation Services. The Administrative Division, in addition to providing general overall direction and support for the activities of the Department, reviews and directs action on related legislative activities, develops the Cit�s quarterly newsletEer, The Grapevine, and provides public information and liaison services for the community. The Park Development Division is concerned with where park facilities are located and what will best rneet the needs of our community today and in the future. Acquisition of park land, site design through community input, and facility construction, are all part of the acfivities of fhis Division. Currently the City has 13 parks totaling 149.75 acres in operation with an additional 13 acres under construction, 148.5 acres under design plus an additional 50 acres under negotiation for acquisition. The Recreation Division plans and conducts a variety of programs auned at providing opportunities for everyone to get involved in Ieisure activities. From sports to educational classes to swim lessons hundreds of classes are offered each quarter at the Lions Park Conununity Center, the Rancho Cucamonga Neighborhood Center, or other locations throughout the city. The most visible section of the Recreation Div'rsion is special events. Special events through the City range from Teddy Bear Teas and Big Wheel Nationals to the Am1ua1 Founders Day Parade, Pep Days and the 4th of July picnic. Two very special events that the City is planning this year is the 3rd seginent of the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution celebration and the 150th anniversary of the land grant for our community. In addition to recreational activities and special events, the Recreation Division also operates an active senior adult program and an information and referral service for senior citizens. Lastly, the Division acts as liaison and coordinator for various social and public service programs for our City. Working toward being aUle to provide leisure and cultural services for all residents of Rancho Cucamonga is truly the motto of the Community Services Department. Whether it be the oppor- tunity for residents of our community to share ideas and dreams with one another, to develop leadership capabilities, or to learn skills for present and future enjoyment, the Community Services Department is here working for you the individuals that make up our community. For fitrther informaiion regarding the Community Services Department residents are invited to contact t11e Department at, 989-1858. � RANCHO CUCAMONGA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Sprlrig �iCt1V1t1eS From a clean sweep to a business directory your chamber has it all Spring is a busy time for the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce, not only with those activities for their membership but for those which include the participation of the entire community.

In addition to our fine parks, our trail system greatly contributes to this image. They benefit all of the City in a number of ways, including increasing property values and enhancing general community pride. One of the most recognizable features in our community are the Community Trails which line many of our streets. These Community Trails help to preserve the rural character of the City and are a reminder of our proud agricultural heritage. But Community Trails do much more than create a sense of community identity. Ti�ails Promote an Alterrlative to Cars. The trail system plays an iinportant part in the City's commitment to reducing our dependence on the automobile. The trails are designed to accommodate many types of different users, including joggers, walkers, bicyclists and horseback riders. When completed, the trail system will provide convenient and safe access to schools, shopping and employment centers. Trails Provide Access to Recreational Facilities. Coupled with the City's goal to establish the finest parks in Southern California, is the creation of an interconnected system of trails which will link the various parks. The City's Master Plan of Trails lays the foundation for an overall network of trails that connect the recreation areas, such as the San Bernardino National Forest in the foothills, City parks, and open spaces. As our population increases, so too will the need for trails which provide recreational opportunities for bicycling, running, wallcing, and horseback riding. Trails Help Protect the Environment. As puUlicly dedicated lands, the Community Trails help to conserve open space and environmentally sensitive areas. Many of the trails follow naturai drainage courses and scenic canyons. By providing access to public lands, the trails serve as a means for residents to experience and enjoy nature and a diversity of plants and animal life that is rare in a city setting. Trails Contribute to a Quality Comniunify. The Community Trails are an asset for the community which contributes to a higher quality of life. As a recreational opportunity and attractive streetscape, trails help reinforce community identity and increase property values. During the process of developing the City's General Plan, residents placed a very high priority on open space and providing well thought-out recreation facilities such as trails.

The goal of the competition is to not only provide the Civic Center with a quality The City of Rancho Cucamonga's trails are a distinctive contribution to the quality image that has made Rancho Cucamonga the premier community in the Inland Empire. The trails feature white rail fencing that is reminiscent of fine country estates. This fencing not only provides a more attractive trail, but also promotes safety for the trail user by separating the trail from the cars. Trail fencing in the equestrian area provides a controlled path for the horses to follow rather than using the public street. Attractive landscaping completes the trail system and promotes a quality image. It is important that the trails in the equestrian areas are not exclusively designed for horses, but are designed to be used for walking, jogging and bicycling as well. The equestrians that use these trails provide an important contribution to the sense of high quality that benefits us ail. Watching others use the trails is nearly as much fun as using them ourselves. ■ _, _ , piece of art, but to promote cultural awareness in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The Foundation is exploring the possibility of sponsoring an Arts Festival during 1989, featuring both visual and performing arts. The Foundation hopes to continue its tradition of promoting local groups and individuais during the coming year. Interested citizens are encouraged to contact City Hall at 989-1851 for details. � COMMUNITY AWARENESS Rancho Cucamonga's Working to maintain standards of Street Sweeping Program excellence The City's Street Sweeping Program consists of five sweeper operators working on a 4-10 hour day work week, three vacuum sweepers and two broom sweepers (one broom sweeper is maintained as a backup) servicing an estimated 640 curb miles. There are at least four sweepers on the road five days a week between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. sweeping a scheduled area which follows local refuge pickup schedules. The City is broken down into seventeen different areas in relationship to the refuge pickup schedule and is swept as follows: • Residential areas are swept every two weeks, the day following refuge pickup. • The Civic Center area is swept once a week on Mondays. This area includes those portions of the City that are south CORNERSTONE of Foothill Boulevard, east of Haven Avenue, north of Arrow Route, and west of Rochester Avenue. • Major arterial streets are swept once a week on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. These include such streets as Carnelian Street, Hellman Avenue, Archibald Avenue, Beryl Street, Haven Avenue, Fourth Street, Arrow Route, Etiwanda Avenue, San Bernardino Road, Base Line Road, Banyan Street, and Hillside Road. • State routes such as Foothill Boulevard, 19th Street, and Highland Avenue are swept once a week on Fridays. • The industrial area of the City including south of Arrow Route, east of Hermosa Avenue, north of Fourth Street, and to the eastern boundary of the City limits, Cucamonga Waystation — The Site of Today's Sycamo�e Inn Cornerstone, a stone forming a part of a corner or angle in a wall; a basic element; a foundation 'Cornerstone' is a regular feature column of The Grapevine which is being published to inform new residents and to recall fond memories for native residents of the rich heritage that makes up the city of Rancho Cucamonga. With all the traffic in and through Rancho Cucamonga today, it is hard to imagine what it.was like during the time of the Rains family's span here. In 1861 when John and Merced Rains with their three children moved into the new brick house (Casa de Rancho Cucamonga), the Civil War was just beginning. Cucamonga was a little past half way on the route from Pueblo de Los Angeles to San Bernardino and was a convenient rest stop on what was an all day stage coach trip. The route started at the Bella Union Hotel in Los Angeles which was loeated a few blocks from today's Olivera Street. (John Rains was part owner of the Bella Union Hotel.) The stage departed at seven in the morning on Mondays and Thursdays in Los Angeles. The return trip to Los Angeles began at the Jacobs Hotel in San Bernardino on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Eight dollars bought you a one-way ticket. By comparison, it cost two hundred dollars to travel by stage from Tipton, Missouri to San Francisco. In good weather, passengers rode in leather slung Concord Coaches. In bad weather, the people traveled in what was called a mud wagon which was rougher but somewhat faster on the rain soaked roads. Because the Civil War had closed the southern Oxbow Route, many passengers and some mail came inland by stage after their ships had docked in San Pedro and San Francisco. San Francisco was also the terminus of the northern Butterfield Overland Route. This interrelation of routes brought many interesting people through the Cucamonga Waystation. The arrival of the passenger and mail stage was a big event of the day. Regular army officers, both Union and Confederate, came through Cucamonga from desert outposts to sail for the eastern battlefields. Some of the officers of the local garrisons were later to become famous generals; Armistead and Hancock who faced each other across the lines at Gettysburg had stopped in Cucamonga. Major Carleton, who fought local Indians and controlled riots in San Bernardino, eventually became a Brigadier General. Carleton also led California volunteers on campaigns to clear Confederates and Apaches from outposts in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The freighters with wagons loaded with supplies for the military, for miners, and for frontier settlements thought Cucamonga a favorite overnight camping spot. One of the most unusual sites for residents of this area, however, must have been the coming of the fast but lumbering camel mail and military messenger service to the desert outposts. The arrival of Hadji Ali, Greek George, or Elias Calles in their is swept once a month. • City owned parking lots are swept weekly on varying days. • New subdivisions are not swept until the developments are accepted by the City. This can create a delay in the City providing sweeping service to these areas after occupancy, but before acceptance. The goal of the City's Street Sweeping Program is to provide residents with a clean environment in which to live, work and play. Residents wishing additional information concerning this Program are encouraged to contact the Engineering Division's Maintenance Section at, 989-2813. ■ colorful outfits thundering through the Cucamonga Waystation on their way to deliver the express mail must have caused great excitement in Cucamonga. Travel modes and times have changed greatly since the time of John and Merced Rains. What was then a slow and cumbersome full day's journey from Los Angeles to San Bernardino is now just a little more than an hour's trip. One thing, however, has remained constant over the past hundred and fifty years — many interesting people have and will continue to pass through what is now the city of Rancho Cucamonga continuing to make our city rich with local history and folklore.

V.'s and trailers are as prevalent in the City of Rancho Cucamonga as is the case in most Southern California cities. Nearly every household has a need for transportation, recreation or a vehicle which is essential to our livelihood. Sometimes, we just take pride in owning a unique or classic vehicle. It is a fact of life however, that our ability to acquire vehicles often exceeds the space that is available to properly park or store them. The quality of life that we experience is related to the maintenance of a pleasant environment where we live and work. The accumulation of vehicles in residential neighborhoods and commercial centers can detract from the appearance of these areas. To ensure that vehicle parking and storage does not become a neighborhood problem, the city has adopted rules and regulations to help control parking, on both public and private property. The size or type of vehicle, or the location on the property where it can be legally parked is set forth specifically in the City Municipal Code. The following are examples of parking regulations which are frequently enforced within the City. Oversize Commercial Vehicles and Equipment: Large trucks, semi-tractor/ trailers, and specialized work related vehicles and equipment are not permitted to be parked or stored in residential districts. The only time such vehicles are even permitted in these areas is when they are in the process of doing work, or making a pick-up or delivery. Large commercial vehicles are required to be parked and stored on private property in the industrial areas of the City. Recreational Vehicles: Motorhomes, campers, boats, trailers and other large recreational equipment are required to be stored away from streets within interior side yards or rear yard areas, and to be screened from view by at least a five foot high view obscuring fence. These vehicles may be parked in the driveway in front of a residence only for limited periods of time not exceeding 24 hours. Recreational vehicles are not permitted to be stored on City streets or to be parked on the street overnight. They may be parked on the street temporarily for loading or unloading. In the case of a trailer being parked on the street, it must at all times be attached to a towing vehicle. • Passenger Cars and Light Trucks: Parking requirements for passenger vehicles are applicable to all vehicles in addition to other more specific requirements. The most basic parking requirement is that vehicles must be parked on a paved surface. Permanent paving material such as concrete or asphalt is required. Areas such as a paved driveway at a residence or parking lots when constructed of permanent paving material are considered appropriate parking areas. When increasing the size of a driveway or parking area it is best to check with the City first, as the size and location of parking areas is often limited. The second most common parking problem is the storage of a vehicle on the public street. Leaving a vehicle on the public street for more than 72 consecutive hours is prohibited. Any vehicle which is used infrequently should be parked in the garage or driveway, rather than on the street. Inoperative VehiclesNehicle Repair: An inoperative vehicle is any vehicle which is unregistered, wrecked, dismantled, disabled or unable to be legally operated on the public street. Inopera- tive vehicles and vehicles which are undergoing repairs must be parked within the enclosed garage or a yard area which is completely screened from view. • Parking Vehicles for Sale or Display: When selling a vehicle it may only be displayed "For Sale" at the owners residence. Parking a vehicle with a"For Sale" sign in a shopping center parking lot, or on a vacant lot, is not permitted. The owner of a property cannot even give permission for this activity. The Planning Division/Code Enforcement Office responds to com- plaints and acts on parking violations which occur on private property. Code Enforcement also assists the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office with the enforcement of parking violations occurring on public streets. The objective is to obtain voluntary compliance with Municipal Code requirement by providing information and assistance to our residents. Gaining the cooperation of the vehicle owner in correcting the problem is always the goal. For most violations a warning will be posted on the vehicle or given to the owner by a Code Enforcement Officer to inform them of code require- m�nts, and allow them time to correct the problem. Unfartunately, it is sometimes necessary to issue a citation for repeated violations, or for violations of the California Vehicle Code occurring on City streets. Your cooperation and support is needed to maintain the quality environment of Rancho Cucamonga. Understanding and complying with the City's parking regula- tions, and passing along that information to others is an essential part of this process. For further information regarding vehicle parking and storage, and other Municipal Code requirements, you may call the Planning Division/Code Enfarcement Office at, 989-1861. ■ STOP THE SPREAD! Tl�e Eucalyptus Longhorn Borer Beetle The Eucalyptus Longhorn Borer, introduced into Southern California in 1984, is now a well established pest throughout Rancho Cucamonga. It threatens the continued existence of our historic windrows and all other species of eucalyptus used in the City's residential and commercial landscapes. The female beetle is nocturnal, live 40- 180 days and lays up to 300 eggs in a lifetime. There can be 2 to 3 generations per year. After the eggs hatch on the tree trunk, the larvae move down into the trees cambium tissues where tree growth and nutrient movement occur. There the larvae create feeding galleries that can extend several feet from the point of origin. Multiple feeding galleries can eventually girdle the tree causing rapid death. We have found that by the time symptoms are visible (branch die-back and general decline) the tree is too far gone to save. The larvae will pupate in the tree even if it's cut down and emerge as adults to mate and reinfest other susceptible trees. Unfortunately, there are no pesticides available to combat the beetle. The most susceptible trees are those which have become stressed for one reason or another, but moisture stress (lack of sufficient soil moisture to maintain vigor) seems to be the main stress causing factor. What can you do to keep your trees in good health and reduce the spread of this destructive pest? • Keep trees from becoming stressed by providing summertime irrigation. Water slowly and deeply around the tree's dripline, not against the tree's trunk. Irrigate every 2 weeks or so depending on temperature. o Prune branches and cut firewood during winter and early spring months when adult beetles are not active. • Fresh wounds attract the beetle, so all trimming should be done during winter months whffe the adults are less active. • If you have Eucalyptus firewood, keep it tarped to the ground for a minimum of six months sealing the tarp edges with soil to prevent emerging adults from reinfesting other trees. Do not move firewood out of the City. • If your tree dies from Borer attack, have the tree removed and buried at a dump ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Pilot Residential Recycling Program You can make the difference The City of Rancho Cucamonga began a pilot residential recycling program on January 7, 1989. The residential recycling program involves residents voluntarily dropping off their recyclable commodities each Saturday at one of three designated locations. The City's franchised haulers, Rancho Disposal, Yukon Disposal, and Western Waste Industries, provide dumpsters for commodities along with personnel to help monitor the program. Selected service clubs/organizations coordinate the activities at each of the designated locations. All of the monies collected for recycled commodities are returned to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The City then ♦ ♦ ' allocates 75% of the funds received to the service club/organization; 25%o of the funds are earmarked for an educational project to be determined by the residents of Rancho Cucamonga. Residents are encouraged to participate in this pilot program by dropping off their recyclable commodities, e.g., glass, aluminum and newspapers on Saturday mornings between 9:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. at either Lions Park Community Center (9161 site or be sure to tarp all wood as described above. Trees should be removed as quickly as possible after death to prevent further infestation from the pupae in the dead tree. The University of California Cooperative Extension (714) 387-2171, California Department of Food and Agriculture (714) 387-2105 and the California Department of Forestry (714) 782-4162 are agencies which can be contacted for further information concerning this pest.
