DREAM EXTREME.
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT A. BRADY
CITY MANAGER
DATE: JANUARY 12, 2010
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION FOR DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS.
Background
The interchange improvement projects at 1-15/Railroad Canyon Road was born from the
need to improve the level of service at that location. Staff has been working through the
Caltrans project review process to develop interchange configurations that convey traffic
efficiently while minimizing the impacts to local property owners.
In the Caltrans project approval process, there are 5 steps: Project Study Report,
Project report, Project Approval and Environmental Document and Plans, Specifications
& Estimate and finally, construction. The Railroad Canyon Road/1-15 Interchange
project has completed the PSR, PR and is in the mid-point of the PA & ED phase. Staff
has been working through the Caltrans approval process for approximately 10-years
Discussion
The original contract for environmental clearance for the 1-15/Railroad Canyon Road
Interchange only included the area of the existing interchange. Because of an
exhaustive review and analysis, the project has evolved to include a proposed
interchange at Franklin and 1-15. With this expansion, the environmental evaluation
area was increased to include the area around Franklin Street and, because of the
substandard spacing between the proposed interchange at Franklin and the interchange
at Main Street, the southbound on-ramp at Main Street was included in the new study
area. This project is largely funded with TUMF monies. Staff discussed this change to
the environmental study area with RCTC and WRCOG staff and the City's request for a
distribution of $1,000,000 to finance the completion of this phase of the project was
approved.
Studies for the environmental document will be completed shortly and the project will be
able to move forward starting an "At Risk" design process by late Spring of 2010. "At
Risk" design simply refers to the preliminary approval of the project's geometry and

Risk" design simply refers to the preliminary approval of the project's geometry and
environmental review. Caltrans allows up to 60% of the final design to be completed
with this preliminary approval. This process will save up to one year off the total
project's time line.
Fiscal Impact
The agreement provides up to $1,000,000 for the completion of the PA & ED phase of
the 1-15/Railroad Canyon Road Interchange Project. Per the agreement, staff time for
administration is not covered by TUMF funds; however, there are sufficient funds in the
project to account for staff time.
Recommendations
1. Approve the agreement with RCTC for the distribution of $1,000,000
for the processing of the Project Approval and Environmental
Document phase of the 1-15/Railroad Canyon.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.
