A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF A
RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO CALTRANS FOR REQUIRING RAISED
LANDSCAPED MEDIAN ISLANDS ON FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AS
DEVELOPMENT OCCURS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL
BOULEVARD DESIGNATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN.
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has adopted a General
Plan; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan recognizes Foothill Boulevard as
a major thoroughfare and scenic highway and thus is designated as a
special boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan circulation element presently
recognizes that four or six lane thoroughfares with continuous left-
hand turning lanes are unattractive and intimidating to pedestrians
and that landscaped median islands would provide an opportunity to
improve streetscape and control circulation improvements; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan indicates that detailed plans are
required setting forth the design standards for each special boule-
vard. Therefore, the City Council of Rancho Cucamonga finds that:
1. Requirement of raised landscaped median islands on
Foothill Boulevard is needed for implementation of the
General Plan.
2. That such median islands will provide the necessary
improvements for proper traffic circulation as the
City develops and will tend to promote better traffic
safety and control along Foothill Boulevard.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. That the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
hereby sets forth a requirement for the implementation
of raised landscaped median islands along Foothill
Boulevard.
2. That a certified copy of this Resolution be forewarded
to CALTRANS indicating the policy of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga relative to raised medians along Foothill
Boulevard.
