Sapphire, Carnelian, �� Archibald, Day Creek, Hellman, Milliken, Rochester, Etiwanda, East, Hermosa and Haven—eleven of Rancho Cucamonga's 13 bridges for the new I-210 Freeway have been completed. The two remaining, at Beryl and Amethyst, should be complete September 2002, just in rime for the freeway opening at the end of that year. The 1-15/210 interchange opens late this summer. The I-210 was unfunded until voters in San Bernardino County passed Measure I, a half cent sales tu� for transportation in 1989. The 28.2 miles I-210 price tag is $1.1 billion and once completed, the freeway will connect Route 66 in La Verne with I-215 in San Bernardino. A new storm drain from Deer Channel and Church Street south �rmosa to Foothill is complete. The orm drain from Church to just north of Baseline is underway. Together these two phases will cost $10.1 million, derived from both the San Bernardino County Flood Control District and the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency, and the project will support industrial development which will create more local jobs. When funding becomes available, Phase 3 from Baseline to the Alta Loma Channel north of 19th Street will begin design. � �� *�� c� a, .:-� .�,..�,....:: � RANCHO GUARDS � AGAINST ENERGY CRISIS , `TRAFFIC JAMS Don't look for Rancho on the late night news when rolling blackouts snarl traffic, turning signaled intersections into four way stops. T'he Rancho City Council has responded to the energy cxisis by allocating $700,000 to create a battery back- up system that will keep the lights working and drivers safe. The installadon required not only a battery system but also the conversion of signal lamps to the LED type of �lamp. As well as Rancho's own 94 signals, the City is also installing the systems on the 30 signals the state owns with- m the ciry.

"We enhanced the resources of Rancho's parks by bringing a recreation staffperson with an 18' trail- er full of games, crafts, and fun to area parks.

RANCHO READS- LIBRARY'S LITERACY PROGRAMS RECII'E FOR SUCCESS ,�. �� ;�?� ;� � . ,. �F %F,r 1-� ,. � � {�� ,r"---=: � � � It's never too late—or too soon, for that matter—to learn or '' improve reading and writing skills. Three literacy programs run by ' the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library help would-be readers, from `� toddlers to adults, master the skill that will open up the world of ; learning fox them. "There are a couple of important things to remember about liter- ; acy. First of all, not being able to read can be a cycle in a family;' ; explained Library Director Deborah Clark. 'A parent who doesn't read never introduces his or her child to books and there are no books in the home. The child probably doesn't get a library card �; doesn't go to story time, and is behind when he or she starts school. �� . That can lead to low self esteem and frustration. So now the child "�� avoids reading and the cycle perpetuates itself. The Rancho -� ' Cucamonga Public Library sponsors a literacy program for adults and ', also offers those adult learners the opportunity to participate in � Families for Literacy:' Adult literacy is volunteer based where a trained ' tutor works with the learner two nights a week for two hours. Families for Literacy offers monthly storytimes and craft acrivities to children ' who are five years old or under. Families are also able to get free children's books and parents are able to take parenting workshops. Literacy programming doesn't stop with five year olds, however, the library also supports the school system with reading tutoring. Children between 7 and 12 are eligible to participate in Back to Basics. "Back to Basics began with a Library Services and Technology program grant. We have four workstarions that have special software for improving reading and math skills as well as volunteers who tutor reading. The idea is to help children attain their grade level for reading;' described Clark.

Working together, the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana and Rialto have master planned a 21-mile corridor along the former rail line whose right of way was assigned to the San Bernardino Associated Governments in 1991. Together, under a Joint Powers Agreement, the same entities are work- ing to raise the grant monies to build it. At 45 feet wide, the corridor can accommodate future transit uses in addition to a planned 11-foot wide muldpurpose hard surface with two foot wide crushed gravel shoulders on each side. Where passengers enjoyed the open air andgroves and vineyards of the Inland Empire as they tra�eled from Santa Monica as far as Redlands, future trail users will enjoy convenient access to public facilities and in some cases even shopping as they explore the trail and its history. Want to participate? Call Principal Planner Dan Coleman at (909) 477-2750. Foo7'xII.i. FocusEs oN Fu'ruxE, EMBRACES PAST NISTORIG ROTUE 6 America's first transconrinental highway, Route 66 was constructed in 1926 and linked communiries as diverse as Chicago and Santa Monica, Winona and Oklahoma City. Rancho's 6 miles of Route 66, Foothill Boulevard, is the heart of the city still, producing $557 million a year in taxable sales or 72% of Rancho's total retail sales. The Foothill Focus Group was formed last year by city staff, the Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses to examine how to reinforce Foothill's idenrity as a shopping desdnarion while improving the retail environment and aesthetics of the corridor. Over the last eight months the focus group and Urban Design Studios have come up with concepts to tie some of the more disparate elements of Foothill together and give it a stronger sense of place through a unified and unique streetscape. The con- �cepts include elements which focus on Foothills Route 66 heritage, the factor that makes Foothill truly unique. Rancho will likely undertake some of the milepost features at the eight major intersections and other aspects of the new streetscape will be implemented as a part of developing new projects along the corridor. � -I ' Costco to Move Choosing to stay in Rancho when it expands, Costco will move from " its current location at Foothill and the I-15 to Fourth and the I-15. The store will expand to 150,000 square feet and hopes to capture a larger share of the region- �� al market with its increased freeway exposure and proximity to Ontario Mills. History of Alta Loma to be Re-issued The original author of the History of Alta Loma has turned the copyright for the publication over to the City of Rancho Cucamonga which will be re-issuing the publicarion later this year. The 100+ page book wi11 be reprinted in an 8" x 10" format and will be for sale for $35 at City Hall. Proceeds will benefit the Library Scholarship Foundation. �' ��,� � , �r�� ,� ��...�w �a�r Calls for Service 98,558 Part I Crimes Reported 3,536 Part II Crnnes Reported 6,735 Reports Taken 14,194 Traffic Collisions Reported 1,883 PUBLIC WORKS Emergency Ca110uts • Streets (staff hrs) • Facilifles (calls) Equipment maintenance (staff hrs) Street Sweeping (curb miles) picked up 9,926 culncyds of debn's Street Sweeper Maintenance (staff lus) Graffid Removed (sraff lus) 32,520s.f. removed Protec(ive Measm•es for Rain (sraff tus) Rain Debris Clean-Up (loads) School Crosswalks/ Legends painted (s,f.)

Crime has dropped an average of 5% per year over the past five years and the Police Department continues to support successful crime reduction programs such as Neighborhood Watch and child safery programs including bicycle safery, personal safery, and fingerprinting. Each year more than 350 volunteers in Rancho's Neighborhood Watch groups come together for a barbecue sponsored joindy with the Fire Department as a National Night Out celebration. Rancho continues to receive an annual $375,000 federally funded COPS grant to support commu- nity-oriented policing efforts including new patrol officers. In 2000-2001, Rancho added 5 new patrol personnel to its roster. STUDENTS LEARN CONSEQUENCES OF DRUNK DRIVING �i '�` �� °�� '�'� Every 15 Minutes is the name of a program that is a grim � �� ` but effective reminder of the damage caused by drunk drivers. ` `'`"' �� " Named after the frequency of drunk driving fatalities in the U.S., Evety 15 Minutes is held annually at one of Rancho's ��f � � � � three high schools. -, ��,�; The senior class pardcipates in a simulated fatal drunk "'��'{ driving accident. Student "victim(s)" are carried away by students > who become ambulance attendants for the day. The "drunk driver" ' ,E •� '�� is arrested and booked. "Witnesses" give their accounts. "Families �1� �k�r;��-, and friends" are informed about the fatality. ' About 20 students take on roles for the acrivity and the rest of the senior class watches. The participants are housed in an area hotel and counseled about what for some, is an upsetdng experience. The last step is an assembly where the participating students speak to the classmates about their e�erience. FIRE MASTER PLAN CLOSE TO COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION The opening of Rancho Cucamonga's new fire maintenance faciliry adjacent to Fire Starion 174 on Jersey brings Rancho three quarters of the way toward completion of its Master Plan developed in the early 1990s. That plan called for the acquisition of land for three faciliries and the construcdon of two new fire starions, the maintenance facility, and the relocation of a temporary station housed in modular buildings on Baseline. A bond issue in the early 1990s paid for the relocation and the Jersey parcel that houses both one of the new starions and the brand new fire maintenance facility."We acquired a large enough parcel to accommodate both the station and the maintenance facility. The station has a training drill tower and, the maintenance faciliry has all the equipment necessary for us to support our own fire service and where it's a win-win situation, to service fire equipment from neighboring jurisdictions," explained Fire Chief Dennis Michael. � ? What's next for Rancho°s Fire Department? "We are '� �`: ��;� �.� �;�. in negotiation on the properry for a station in the north- east sector of the ciry now," continued Michael. "There has been money collected to fund the station from a spe- �" � „ cial tax district since 1989. Today, there's about $2.1 mil- ��'� ' r ��=;b�� lion to build and equip a station that will be complete in f; � � ,� �'�`�;_ . the winter of 2002-2003:' In addition, the Department has '�� 4 �� ` ,�� recently completed a Strategic Plan as part of the update °�"�� s,�� --� ` `- -� ;, � of the Ciry's General Plan currendy underway. _ ,�,,,,�...— �,,,�� t ��
