San Bernardino has received a $5.28 million federal grant to construct safety improvements at locations with high traffic collision rates in the city, officials announced last week.
The funding is from the Safe Streets and Roads for All program via the U.S. Department of Transportation.
“San Bernardino is working hard not only to pave our streets, but to make them safer for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians,” Mayor Helen Tran said in a statement. “This grant will make a huge difference at five locations that have a history of accidents and injuries.”
The city’s “Revitalizing Roadway Safety in San Bernardino” proposal identified five locations with high collision rates, a high rate of traffic-related fatalities or serious injuries or are near schools and residential neighborhoods.
The five locations are:
- The intersection of Highland Avenue and Eucalyptus Drive;
- Ninth Street between Waterman Avenue and Del Rosa Avenue;
- 30th Street from San Gabriel Street to Cedar Street;
- Meridian Avenue from Etiwanda Street to Rialto Avenue; and
- Kendall Drive between University Parkway and H Street.
