BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 2021, the ARPA CLFRF program provided $350 billion in funding to state, local, and tribal governments. The funding assisted the United States with economic recovery from the continued impact of COVID-19 and the ongoing recession, and provided funding for critical capital projects, investments in property, facilities, or equipment, which needs to be obligated by the end of 2024.
The Project has been identified as a need in an unincorporated area of the county. The Project will improve the safety of motorists and pedestrians by creating a right-hand turn pocket from east-bound Riverside Drive onto Riverside Terrace in Chino. The turn pocket will allow motorists to decrease their speed and turn safely onto Riverside Terrace and enable traffic travelling east from Peyton Drive and the State Route 71 off-ramp to continue at the posted speed limit.
The purpose of the proposed design for the Project is to provide roadway improvements, which is an eligible use of ARPA CLFRF.
The recommended action will approve Public Works Transportation Project No. H15237 and allow the Department to oversee and manage the design analysis.
PROCUREMENT
