OLD BUSINESS: 8.1 REVIEWED THE DRAFT RECREATIONAL TRAILS AND BICYCLE ROUTE MASTER PLAN - Bob Rose gave the following cost for maintenance: urban walkway, consisting of 24 miles, if the system is built out as indicated on the Master Plan the cost would be $1000 for that component. Recreation Trails of 5.6 miles developed cost $1000 per mile to maintain, the total cost would be $5,600 per year. Bike routes, with approximately 38 miles, would cost $524.00 per mile with a total approximate cost of $20,000 at build out. For the trai is heads and rest stop.

That would give the total annual maintenance, depending on what is installed at build out at $59,400 to $76,000 per year.

Trail Heads and Rest Stops With respect to the facilities and equipment installed at trail heads and rest stops, it is estimated that those improvements should be amortized over a 5 - year period. Therefore, an allocation of 207o for a replacement reserve, per year, for each type of rest stop or trail head, should be budgeted. For example, if the improvements for a Class A trail head (less parking) are installed at a cost of between $8,550 and $18,700, a replacement reserve of $1,710 to $3,740 should be allocated in each of the five subsequent years for the normal replacement of signage and facilities. RecreationalTrails Trail maintenance is, however, more difficult to budget due to the lack of the City's experience with this activity. in this regard, an estimate of trail maintenance costs was obtained by utilizing information obtained from the County of Los Angeles, Department of Parks and Recreation, based on their Trails Division's annual budget and the length of trails (in miles) maintained by that division. For their completed budget year (1999-2000), the County of Los Angeles expended $183,129 to maintain 344 miles of riding and hiking trails. This is $532.35 per mile. Given the economy of scale of the Los Angeles County's operation compared to the 5.6 miles of recommended City trails, an estimated maintenance cost of $1,000 per mile of improved trail is anticipated.

So that we can engage in a fruitful and in-depth discussion of the City's priorities for the next fiscal year, you should come prepared for the study session on May 1St to evaluate the enclosed worksheets. If you can rank the goals and objectives and provide to Jim DeStefano prior to the study session, that would be preferred but is not mandatory. If you have any questions on the packet or the process, please contact Jim ` at your earliest convenience.

NEW BUSINESS: None 9.1 INTRODUCTION OF DRAFT RECREATIONAL TRAILS AND BICYCLE ROUTE MASTER PLAN - The Parks & Recreation and Traffic & Transportation Commissions have worked together to develop the draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan. This Plan will provide staff and Council with guidelines and proposed' programs/projects to be considered for the City wide trails system. The Commissions conducted an extensive public outreach process that included an information booth' at the 2000 City Birthday Celebration, a survey mailed in the March 2000 issue of "The Windmill" (609 responses received), two public workshops in February 2001 and seven public meetings held jointly by both Commissions. The Planning' Commission reviewed the Plan at their April10, 2001 meeting and voted unanimously to recommend its approval to Council. Staff suggests that Council review the document,1 obtain public comments and have questions' answered. Staff will make a formal presentation on the Master Plan at the Council Meeting of May 1, 2001 and seek Council's approval of the document. Continued to May 1, 2001. APRIL 17 2001 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL 9.2 RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PROPOSED LEGISLATION: (a) SB 72 (Kuehl) — Stormwater Monitoring. This bill is similar to last year's AB 2492 (Kuehl), except that it does not require numeric outflow limits. The League opposed AB 2492 and it stalled in the Legislature. SB 72 would establish a statewide standard monitoring program for stormwater runoff and would prohibit so-called group monitoring. The League, CSAC, and the California Association of Sanitation Agencies oppose SB 72, unless it is amended to delete the requirement that municipalities comply with the new, standardized monitoring program. Large municipalities are already subject to individual monitoringprograms tailored to community circumstances and srhaller`communities will soon be under similar requirements under Phase II of the federal stormwater regulations. Both the League of California Cities and the Council Legislative Subcommittee recommend opposing SB 72. (b) AB 896 (Aroner) - Developmental Services: Unified System. As proposed, this measure would combine both the state and community institutional networks into one unified developmental services system. AB 896 would also revise the financing and budgeting processes of California's developmental services system to include the creation of a state budget line item to be allocated to regional centers for specified purposes. A final element of AB 896 establishes a fund (The Lanterman Trust) which redirects monies generated from the sale or lease of existing state facilities to provide services and support for members of the developmentally disabled community. The Council Legislative Subcommittee recommends that City staff work with its lobbyist in Sacramento (Anthony Gonsalves) and monitor the bill for any future developments. Sue Sisk requested that the City follow AB 896 more closely than what is proposed. C/Chang moved, C/Ansari seconded, to oppose AB 72 and AB 896 as recommended by the Legislative Committee and to monitor AB 896 closely with weekly reports with monthly updates to the Council Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS- Ansari, Chang, O'Connor, MPT/Herrera, M/Huff NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None 9.3 CITY MANAGER PURCHASING AUTHORITY - CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 213 (1995) "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AMENDING THE PURCHASING SYSTEM On April 3, 2001 a member of the City Council requested a review of the City Manager purchasing authority. At its June 1, 1999 meeting, Council adopted Ordinance 2A, amending the City's purchasing system to increase the City Manager's purchasing authority to $15,000 and the purchase order requirement for purchases to $500. At this time a survey of 18 'cities was conducted to determine the average City Manager purchasing authority and the purchase order requirement. The survey revealed that the average City Manager purchasing authority was $21,250 and that the average amount required for purchase orders was for purchases $1,60 or greater. On April 12, 2001, the City Council Finance subcommittee reviewed the matter of the City Manager purchasing authority and an updated survey of other cities. The survey revealed APRIL 17, 2001 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL that the average City Manager purchasing authority is now $25,000 and the average requirement for purchase orders is $1,370. Based on review and discussion of current practices and the survey, the Finance Subcommittee recommends an increase to the City Manager's purchasing authority to $20,000 and an increase to the Purchase Order requirement to $1,000.

There were also concerns expressed by residents about speeding on other streets. The entire length of Decorah Road as it turns into Navajo Spring Road is a very long stretch of road and with no controls at any point, other than the curve in the street, people speed. Residents would like the Commission to consider more than one stop sign. Ray Hallenbeck, 208 Navajo Spring Road, asked the Commission to consider placing speed humps at the curve where Decorah Road and Navajo Spring Road intersect. He finds it difficult to back out of his driveway on Sundays. He does not believe the placement of the radar trailer helped the speeding issue. He believes the trailer should be placed near the curve in the road. He asked the Commission to read his letter and consider his concerns. Grace MacBride, 435 Willapa Lane, has seen people cross the yellow lines at the curve coming up the street at about 50 miles per hour: She is especially interested in having a stop signs at Del Sol, El Encino and Platina. When cars are parked along the street drivers have a tendency to cross over the yellow lines. Decorah Road is a nice speedway for young drivers.

Chair/Morris asked that staff's study include the entire length of Decorah Road as well as Navajo Spring Road and Briar Creek Road. He further suggested that the radar trailer be placed at the curvature of Decorah Road near Navajo Spring Road to get a better accurate speed reading.

Traffic Concerns Around Chaparral Middle School DSA/Smith presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Traffic and Transportation Commission review the information provided by staff, receive public testimony and discuss traffic conditions at the intersection of Spruce Tree Drive and Ironbark Drive in front of Chaparral Middle School. Martin Ramirez, 1446 Spruce Tree Drive (directly across from Chaparral Middle School) stated that over the past five years the traffic has become unbearable and he feels like a captive in his own home. People park in his driveway and when he asks them to move their cars they get upset. He believes the traffic can be relieved through use of a busing system, crossing guards or sheriff's deputies. David Little, 22910 Aspen Knoll Drive, suggested that the City consider a "no right turn on red" at Diamond Bar Boulevard during school drop off/pick'up hours similar to the situation at Lorbeer'Middle School; install a three-way stop at Spruce Tree Drive and Mountain Laurel Way which will allow the Spruce Tree Drive traffic to clear and reduce traffic on Ironbark Drive; install a three-way stop at Ironbark Drive and Spruce Tree Drive; install a "No U-Turn" sign at the junction of Aspen Knoll Drive and Spruce Tree Drive; and stripe Ironbark Drive near the school.

Financial Summary The City Council has allocated $105,000 in the 2000/01 Fiscal Year budget for the design and construction of this project. Total cost for this project, per the following detail, will be $87,895. Design: $27,800 Construction Contractor $46,115' 10% Construction Contingency: $ 4,610 Plan Check & Inspection: $ 4,370 Geotechnical Test during Construction Not to Exceed: 1 5,000 TOTAL $87,895 Background At its meeting on March 6, 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution No 2001-15 approving plans and specifications for the repair of two landslides in the natural area of Sycamore Canyon Park. The project was subsequently advertised in local newspapers, as prescribed by law, and in three different construction project newsletters. Bid packages were purchased by 15 different contractors, 7 of which submitted sealed bids., The 7 bids were opened and publicly read on Tuesday, April 3, 2001 at 2:00 p.m. in the lobby of Diamond Bar City Hall, 21825 E. Copley Drive, Diamond Bar. Bid prices ranged from a low of $46,114.50 to a high of $318,050. The two landslides are located on a graded slope on the north side of homes that were constructed on Rio Lobos Road. The over -steepened slope of 1-1/2 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) was built by the developer of the homes. The City's geotechnical engineer determined that since construction, the compaction of the slope degraded from the required 95% to the current 82%. This set up the scenario that when the slope gets saturated with rain, it is subject to sloughing (failure of the top 4 to 6 feet of surface material). This has happened twice in two separate locations on the slope in the past 8 years, first in 1993 and then again during the EI Nino storms of 1998. Because the slopes were graded for the construction of homes, repair costs are eligible for partialreimbursement from F.E,M.A. Discussion The lowest responsible bidder for this project is Brongo Construction, Inc. References have been checked and this company is highly recommended for this type of project. The contractor's license has been checked with the State of California and it is active and clear.

ISSUE STATEMENT: To address the safety concerns for pedestrians and motorists in the residential neighborhood near Chaparral Middle School by installing a stop sign at the intersecting leg of Ironbark Drive and Spruce Tree Drive and three "No - U -turn During the Hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 1:40 p.m. to 4:00 p.m." signs on Spruce Tree Drive from the intersection of Ironbark Drive to the end of the cul-de-sac. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and adopt Resolution No. 01 - XX entitled: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar Installing a Stop Sign at the Intersecting Leg of Ironbark Drive and Spruce Tree Drive and Three"No-U- turn During the Hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00, p.m." Signs on Spruce Tree Drive from the Intersection of Ironbark Drive to the end of the cul-de-sac. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: The installation of the stop sign and No U-turn signs will be funded under the City's signing and striping maintenance budget allocated for this FY 2000.2001. BACKGROUND: There have been concerns raised by Chaparral Middle School and residents regarding congestion and how to better the traffic flow in the neighborhood during school morning drop -.:off and dismissal pick-up times. These issues were reviewed and discussed at the .Traffic and Transportation Commission Meetings of February 8, 2001 and April 12, 2001. As a first phase solution, while continuing to study the traffic patterns and community suggestions' for mitigation measures in the neighborhood encompassing Chaparral Middle School, staff recommends the installation of a stop sign at the intersecting leg of Ironbark Drive at Spruce Tree Drive and three "No -U-turn During the Hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m." signs on Spruce Tree Drive from the intersection of Ironbark Drive to the End of the Cul-de-sac. Ironbark Drive is a T -intersection with Spruce Tree Drive. Per the California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 21800(b)(1), motorists on Ironbark Drive are ,required to stop and yield the right-of-way to motorists on Spruce Tree Drive. However, staff has observed that Ironbark Drive motorists tend to roll into the Spruce Tree Drive intersection. This causes an unsafe situation for the children using the crosswalk to cross lronbark Drive and forces the ' Spruce Tree Drive motorists to yield causing congestion at the l intersection and crosswalk. Though this is an enforcement issue, staff is recommending the installation of a stop sign to re -enforce the CVC and remind the lronbark Drive motorists of 'their stopping requirement. This stop sign should improve safety for the children using the crosswalk and enhance the traffic flow of Spruce Tree Drive. Additionally, during the drop-off/pick-up times of Chaparral Middle School, a number of motorists from Ironbark Drive make U-turns in the intersection at Spruce Tree Drive. Motorists also make -mid -block U-turns on Spruce Tree Drive from the intersection of Ironbark Drive to the cul-de-sac (see attached aerial map). There are currently "No U- turn" restrictions on Ironbark Drive that have been effective to keep the traffic circulating. Staff believes that with the installation of these signs, a better and safer traffic flow will be achieved, The Commission concurred with staff's recommendation to forward to the City' Council the intersecting leg of Ironbark Drive at Spruce Tree for the installation, of a stop sign and three "No -U-turn During the Hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m." signson Spruce Tree Drive from the intersection of Ironbark Drive to the end of the cul-de-sac: Prepared by.

IV CO SENT CALENDAR: None V OLD BUSINESS: A. Traffic Concerns Around Chaparral Middle School. DSA/Smith presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Traffic and Transportation Commission review the information provided by staff, receive public testimony and discuss traffic conditions at the intersection of Spruce Tree Drive and Ironbark Drive in front of Chaparral Middle School. Martin Ramirez, 1446 Spruce Tree Drive (directly across from Chaparral Middle School), stated that over the past five years the traffic has become unbearable and he feels like a captive in his own home. People park in his driveway and when he asks them to move their cars they get upset. He believes the traffic can be relieved through use of a busing system, crossing guards or sheriff's deputies. David Little, 22910 Aspen Knoll Drive, suggested that the City consider a "no right turn on red" at Diamond Bar Boulevard during school drop off/pick up hours similar to the situation at Lorbeer Middle School; install a three-way stop at Spruce Tree Drive and Mountain Laurel Way which will allow the Spruce Tree Drive traffic to clear and reduce traffic on Ironbark Drive; install a three-way stop at Ironbark Drive and Spruce Tree Drive; install a "No U -Turn" sign at the junction of Aspen Knoll Drive and Spruce Tree Drive; and stripe Ironbark Drive near the school. Jan Keating, Principal, Chaparral Middle School, said she appreciates the insight and patience of the residents who live near the school. ;Last year following an accident in which a student was hit crossing Diamond Bar Boulevard, she requested a crossing guard for that street. She and her staff members monitor traffic to the best of their ability and at the risk of their safety.; She is, not opposed to the suggestion for a three-way stop at Ironbark. Drive and Spruce Tree Drive. Her main concerns are the a -turns that vehicles are making and the safety of students crossing Ironbark Drive to get to their parent's cars. Cllstik suggested that Principal Keating, consider usingadditional Proposition A funds to subsidies transportation funds to encourage busing. C/Leonard believes this school needs a crosswalk at the first intersection at Aspen Knoll Drive and make the intersection a three-way stop.

Background At its meeting on April 17, 2001, the draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan was introduced to the City Council. The estimated construction cost to implement the master plan as presented is $389,300 for bicycle routes and $740,000 for recreational trails, for total estimated construction costs of $1,129,000. City Council requested that annual costs to maintain the proposed trails and bicycle routes be added to the Master Plan. Following are the estimated maintenance costs if the entire master plan is. constructed. These costs have been identified in Appendix E of the revised draft of the Master Plan: Urban Walkways — Up to $920.00 per; year. Bicycle Routes - Up to $20,000 per year. Trail Heads and Rest Stops - Up to $3,740 per location per year, or $52,000 annually at buildout. Recreational Trails — The maintenance costs for recreational trails were still being researched at the time this report was completed. Also, at the April 17th City Council Meeting, lead consultant Marlene Roth stated that the following items were still being researched and are now included in the revised draft of the Master Plan: 1. Recreational Trails connection points south of the incorporated area of Diamond Bar that lead to proposed trails in Orange County. 2. Recreational Trailsconnections to the Cities of Industry and Chino Hills. 3. Text and Map of Appendix C — Identification of developed as utility easements that may be future Recreational Trails. Discussion The Recreational Trails and, Bicycle Route Master Plan serves as a feasibility study and planning tool that seeks to accomplish the four following objectives: 1. To acknowledge the active and passive'role provided by trails and bicycle routes in providing: recreational opportunities to Diamond Bar's residents; alternatives to transportation dependent on private, vehicles; and links to community facilities and the region. 2. To provide information regarding the existing system and current standards, which can be applied to evaluate both that system and future facilities. 3. To acknowledge present or future deficiencies in the existing system of trails and routes. 4. To recommend a program that provides a realistic system of recreational trails and bicycle routes for the City of Diamond Bar consistent with funding sources available for that effort. The following major elements are included in the draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan: 1. Introduction - Describes the purpose of the plan, the areas of study, and the content of the document; 2.

INTRODUCTION Bicycle routes and recreational trails provide important links within the community of Diamond Bar and to adjacent areas, as they relate to both transportation planning and recreational amenities. This importance has been recognized by including bicycle routes and equestrian and hiking trails in the City's Circulation Element of the General Plan (1995) and by including recreational trails and bicycle routes within the Parks Master Plan (1998). A complete list of the related background documents used in this process is contained in Appendix A. A. PURPOSE As a feasibility and planning study, the purpose of the Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan for the City of Diamond Bar is four -fold. • The plan acknowledges the active and passive role provided by trails and bicycle routes in providing: recreational opportunities to Diamond Bar's residents; alternatives to transportation dependent on private vehicles; and links to community facilities and the region. • It is informational in that it provides knowledge regarding the existing system and standards which can be applied to evaluate both that system and future facilities. • It acknowledges present or future deficiencies in the existing system of trails and routes. • It recommends a program to provide a realistic system of recreational trails and bicycle routes for the City of Diamond Bar consistent with funding sources available for that effort. Recreational trails and bicycle routes linking Diamond Bar to adjacent jurisdictions were also considered in planning the routes and proposed improvements within the City of Diamond Bar. B. CONTENT The report summarizes the research efforts, as well as the public outreach activities (see Appendix B), undertaken to develop the draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route MasterPlan for the City of Diamond Bar and provides specific recommendations regarding both recreational trails and bicycle Draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar routes in the City.

Draft 2 C"I" Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar The public participation process involved a questionnaire distributed in April 2000, the Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan booth at the April 9, 2000 birthday celebration, and two open houses which occurred on February 15t and 3', 2001. These activities and the information obtained from the participants are summarized in Appendix B. Identification of easements potentially providing opportunities for the implementation of proposed trails and potential future trails are identified in Appendix C. Draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar II. GOALS A. Overview A series of goals -have been -developed -for -this --Plan. These are classified into three categories. The listing of the goals does not imply a priority or preference. As incorporated into the Plan, all have equal weight or value. However, not all goals are viewed by the public as having the same weight or value to the community (see Appendix B). B. Applicable to Both Recreational Trails and Bicycle Routes • Develop a comprehensive plan providing routes that are equally accessible to all Diamond Bar residents. • Establish loop trail systems wherever feasible throughout the City. • The recreational trails and bicycle route system should, to the - maximum extent feasible: • Link existing and future parks; • Link existing and future schools; • Link community service elements; and Allow interface with each other. • The City's routes should link to adjacent systems to provide =, access to regional facilities. • Prioritize the development and/or completion of trails and routes that are already partially developed or informally used by the public. • The City's routes should be implemented to the maximum extent feasible, insuring appropriate dedication and improvement of rights-of-way, both in conjunction with the review and approval of adjacent developments and in the adoption of the City of Diamond Bar's Capital Improvement Program.

These documents include the Circulation Element of the General Plan adopted by the City Council on July 25, 1995, which addresses bicycle routes, equestrian and hiking trails, and the Parks Master Plan adopted by the City Council on March 17, 1998, which addresses recreational trails, including bicycle routes. The General Plan of the City of Diamond Bar was not amended by the adoption of the Parks Master Plan. Rather, the Parks Master Plan, as does this plan, serves as a guide to City staff, various commissions, and the City Council. Additionally, the County of Los Angeles and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) have adopted a number of regional bicycle routes which serve the City of Diamond Bar. A. RECREATIONAL TRAILS Recreational trails within the City of Diamond Bar and links to regional trails were identified in the Parks Master Plan adopted in 1998. Many of these trails. were "symbolically" noted on the Plan without regard to their actual routing. The trails identified on that Plan include the following: • Summitridge/Sycamore Canyon, with a link to Leyland Drive; • Perimeter of the County -owned Diamond Bar Golf Course; • Tonner Canyon; • Skyline Trail/Schabarum Trail; and • Larkstone Loop. The Circulation Element identified one equestrian and hiking trail - the Skyline Trails Extension. This trail, although partially within the City limits, is part of a more extensive trail system owned and maintained by the County of Los Angeles. That trail is described as follows: "The Skyline Trails Extension, unofficially called the Schabarum Trail, roughly parallels the City's southern and eastern boundaries g Yp y with unincorporated sections of Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties [sic., and now the City of Chino Hills], as it winds through the hills from Brea Canyon Road to Grand Avenue. The trail originates at Schabarum Park to the west, where it interconnects Draft r: Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route MasterPlan C, City of Diamond Bar C1 1 011 with the Skyline Trail, The Skyline Trail, in turn, interconnects with a ("I vast system of equestrian trails to the north and west spreading throughout most of Los Angeles County. To the east of Schobarum Park, the trailtraverses Rowland Heights, then exits , under Brea Canyon Road and the Orange Freeway where it approaches the southern City limits of Diamond Bar, to the east of T" Brea Canyon Road.' The trail then travels near the edge of the 01 Firestone Boy Scout Reservation near the northern slopes of:: Tonner Canyon. As the trail turns northeast, it roughly' follows the City boundaryjust inside of the City limits, The trail turns east and follows the City boundaryjust outside the City limits, and again turning northerly, portions of the trail are within and portions are outside the City. The trail terminates at Grand Avenue, where the Summit Ridge Park Connector Trail will allow access to Summit% Ridge Park to the north of Grand Avenue within Diamond Bar. C There are also a series of three spur trails which the County has planned to connect with the Skyline Trails Extension,Trail. These three trails, collectively known as the Skyline Trails Connections, o all lie outside of the City of Diamond Bar. B. BICYCLE ROUTES A The Circulation Element of the General Plan basically identified two bicycle routes within the City of Diamond Bar.' • Diamond Bar Boulevard (Class II) l • Golden Springs Drive (Class 11 southwest of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Class III northeast of Diamond Bar Boulevard) The. Circulation Element text identified, although not designated as a City route, a partially signed bikeway (Class III) along Brea Canyon Road between Pathfinder Road and Golden Springs Drive. The current status of the City's kr+ marked routes is shown in `Table 1. The Recreational Trails Exhibit in the Parks Master Plan included suggestions for substantially more bicycle routes than contained in the Circulation Element. Notably, these included a number of Class III routes which were designed to provide linkages between Diamond Bar's neighborhoods, and routes along . City arterials, including those identified in the Circulation Element.' These routes also provided` linkages to bicycle routes outside the City of Diamond Bar.

RECREATIONAL TRAILS A. BACKGROUND ---Recreatianol trails -provide opportunities -for -casual and -active walking and hiking experiences, mountain (off-road) biking experiences, and provide linkages to regional trails adjacent to the City of Diamond Bar. r For the purpose of this Master Plan, recreational trails have been divided into r = two types: • Urban walkways, which utilize developed sidewalks within public rights-of-way, to provide linkages to residentialneighborhoods, schools, y and parks, as well as interesting recreational walking opportunities for residents of the City seeking passive or aerobic exercise; and n Recreational trails, which are rustic in nature, typically not paved, `x and are found in the City's parks and open -space areas and along government or utility -owned easements. Recreational trails are suitable for the use of hikers, casual walkers, and, in some instances, mountain bicyclists and equestrians. B. ROUTES 1. Urban Walkways A series of eight urban walkways are,proposed to be designated throughout the City of Diamond Bar. These walkways are generally described as follows: • Diamond Bar Boulevard/Golden Springs Drive/Grand Avenue y ( Loop A) This loop, which utilizes a series of streets to form a one-way loop, is approximately 3.4 miles long. It links or provides access to the Diamond Bar Golf Course, Sycamore Canyon Park, the library, Lorbeer Middle School, loops B, F, G, and the Summitridge Park Trail. • Diamond Bar Boulevard (Loop B) This loop, which utilizes a single street, is approximately 3.5 miles long.

The proposed walkways are shown on Figure 1. 2. Recreational Trails \ This plan identifies: five trails completely within the City of Diamond Bar; one trail partially within the City -Skyline (Schabarum) Trail; and one trail head - which provides access to a trail outside the City limits (Tonner Canyon). The six trails completely or partially within the City are: • Peterson Park Trail This trail is approximately 0.2 miles in length (round-trip). This trail is developed and provides benches at the view point at the top of y4 the trail. Facilities are also provided within the park. The trail can be described as a moderate walk/hike. °T Pantera Park Trail This trail is proposed to be approximately 0.6 miles in length w ,.. (round-trip). When fully developed, it is proposed to include two trail heads and one rest stop. Facilities are also provided within Pantera Park. The trail is very steep in parts and offers numerous view points. • Sycamore Canyon Park Trail This trail is approximately 0.6 miles in length. It provides a pleasant, easy walk along the stream. Facilities are provided within Sycamore Canyon Park. The trail extends to the east gaining elevation until it reaches Diamond Bar Boulevard where it links to Summitridge Park Trail. • Summitridge Park Trail T This trail system is a series of three options, ranging from 1.3 to 1.5 miles in length.

When combined with the Sycamore Canyon Park Trail it forms a continuous trail approximately 1.9 to 2.1 miles in length, depending on the option chosen. Larkstone Park Trail This trail is proposed (in conjunction with a future park at this site) and the use of the Gas Company easement to be approximately 1.3 mites in length (both segments). When fully developed, it is planned to include two trail heads. The trail would be steep in parts and would offer numerous view points. • Skyline Trail (Schabarum Trail) A portion of this trail, owned and maintained by the County of Los Angeles, is within the City. (See Section IIIA for a more detailed description.) Recreational trails in the community are shown on Figure 2. C. LINKAGES Although many of the recreational trails and urban walkways are independent, many also provide connection to other facilities, for example: Sycamore Canyon Park Trail connects to Summitridge Park Trail and the Diamond Bar/Golden Springs/Grand Avenue urban walkway (Loop A); Peterson Park Trail connects to the Golden Springs/Sunset Crossing/Diamond Bar urban walkway (Loop G); and Larkstone Park Trail is proposed to connect to the Brea Canyon urban walkway (Loop C) and Lemon/Larkstone urban walkway (Loop E). The Skyline (Schabarum) Trail is shared with Chino Hills and unincorporated Los Angeles County (both in and outside of the City's sphere of influence).

TRAIL HEADS AND REST STOPS In conjunction with the identification of recreational trails and urban walkways, the need for public information, as well as public facilities, have been provided for in the form of rest stops and trail heads. Along the urban walkways, it is felt that in numerous instances shade structures and bus benches provided along the City's major arterials, can provide the rest stops for the urban walkways. Since these walkways are also adjacent to existing development, other alternatives exist to provide facilities such as - trash disposal, water, shade, and seating areas. Rest stops are also proposed as part of the City's bicycle route system and those rest stops would also serve the urban walkways which coincide with the bicycle routes. With respect to recreational trails, two. types of facilities have been identified: rest stops and trail heads. Within the context of these two facilities which function somewhat differently, a list of proposed features for each type of facility in varying degrees (classes) has been identified (see Table 2). A number of specific types are recommended for each of the trails. The following facilities are proposed: • Sycamore Canyon Park Trail One Class A trail head at Diamond Bar Boulevard; • Summitridge Trail - Two Class C trail heads (at the park and terminus of Clear Creek Canyon Drive) and a rest stop (Class B) at the junction of the Ridge Route and Canyon Route trail options: • Pantera Park Trail - Two Class C trail heads at each end and one rest stop (Class B) at the trail summit (near the water tank); • Larkstone Park Trail (future) - Two trait heads (a Class B at the trail's easterly limit and a Class C at Brea Canyon Road), to be developed when the property becomes available; and • TonnerCanyon Trail - A Class A trail head in the vicinity of the terminus of Crooked Creek Drive or Running Branch Road. Prototypical schematic plans for a Class B trail head and rest stop have been developed by Hirsch & Associates, Inc. (see Figures 3 and 4).

BICYCLE ROUTES A. BACKGROUND Due to the inclusion of bicycle routes in federal, state and county programs, and the use of bicycle transportation as a means of reducing smog (reducing motor vehicle dependence), a substantially more comprehensive and formalized body of information exists on this topic than does on urban and suburban recreational trails. Classification The bikeway design standards generally in use throughout California and Los Angeles County are those specified in the California Department of Transportation State Highway Design Manua/. Caltrans defines bikeways as all facilities that provide primarily for bicycle travel. The term bikeway includes- bicycle paths, bicycle lanes and bicycle routes. Caltrans classifies and defines these bikeways as follows: • Class l Bikeway (Bike Path) - A right-of-way completely separated from any street or highway for bicycle travel. • Class Il Bikeway (Bike Lane) A striped lane for one-way bike travel on a street or highway. • Class III Bikeway (Bike Route) - A travelway shared by bicycles and motor vehicles or pedestrian traffic, designated by signs only, 2. Standards Design standards, which address the space required by the cyclist, use characteristics, minimum widths, clearances, gradient, roadway curvature, design speed, parking, signing, striping treatments, surface, maintenance and drainage, and have safety as their goal Caltrans design standards are applicable to all bicycle facilities constructed or reconstructed after July 1, 1993. Three levels of standards are identified. • Mandatory- Elements considered essential to achievement of overall design objectives. Mandatory standards utilize the word "shall". Draft 20 Draft • Signing and Striping (P) A yellow centerline stripe may be used _ to separate opposing directions of travel. O -0 21 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan '' City of Diamond Bar • Advisory- Important, but allow greater flexibility to accommodate design constraints or to be compatible with local conditions. Advisory standards utilize the word "should". • Permissive - Standards which are desirable, but not required for �I the attainment of the overall design. Permissive standards use the word "may' IC) According to Caltrans who has as one of its goals to promote uniform practice on a statewide basis, design features or elements which deviate from the mandatory standards indicated in the State Highway Design Manual D must be approved by the Chief, Office of Project Planning and Design, or by a local Caltrans Project Development' Coordinator to which authority to grant approval has been designated. 0 Following is a summary of key design provisions indicated in the State , Highway DesignManual Mandatory standards are designated with an (M) after the title of the standard, advisory standards with an (A), and permissive standards with a (P). The full text of the manual should be consulted in the design of a particular facility. These provisions indicate minimum standards and are summarized from Los Angeles Countywide Bicycle Policy Document. 4 0. Class / Bikeways (Bike Paths]. • Widths (M) - Two-way bike path minimum paved width is eight feet. Minimum paved width for one-way bike path is five feet. A minimum two -foot wide graded area shall be provided adjacent u to the pavement, increasing the requirement to ten feet for a�� two-way path and seven feet for a one-way path (fourteen feet for two one-way paths). • Clearance to Obstruction (M) - A minimum two -foot horizontal clearance to obstructions shall be provided adjacent to the pavement. The clearance width on structures between railings shall be not less than eight feet. The vertical clearance to obstructions across the clear width of the path shall be a minimum of eight feet. Draft • Signing and Striping (P) A yellow centerline stripe may be used _ to separate opposing directions of travel. O -0 21 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar a. . Draft Intersections with Highways (P) The most favorable intersection conditions should be selected. Where motor vehicle cross traffic and bicycle traffic is heavy, grade separations are desirable. When grade separations are not feasible, assignment of right-of- way by traffic signals should be considered. Stop or yield signs for bicyclists may suffice when traffic is not heavy. When crossing an arterial street, the crossing should usually occur at the pedestrian crossing. Separation Between Bike Paths and Highways (M) —Bike Paths immediately adjacent to streets and highways are not recommended. However, if a bike path is installed closer than five feet from the travelway, a physical barrier must be installed to prevent bicyclists from encroaching on the roadway. • Bike Paths in the Medians of Highways (P) As a general rule, bike paths in the medians of highways are not recommended because they require movements contrary to normal rules of the road. tf such movements can be avoided or designed for, then the bike paths may be considered. • Design Speed (M) - The minimum design speed for bike paths shall be 20 mph except on bike paths where downgrades exist that are longer than 500 feet with grades exceeding four percent (4%). For those facilities with long step downgrades, the minimum design speed shall, be 30 mph. Installation of "speed ,humps" shall not be used. • Grades (A) - The maximum grade rates should be five percent (5%). Steeper grades can be tolerated for segments up to 500 feet in length. Sustained grades should be limited to two percent (2%). (Note: grade standards are provided for Class I routes only). • Structural Section (A) - The structural section of a bike path should be designed in the same manner as a highway. Principal loads will normally be from maintenance and emergency vehicles. A minimum pavement thickness of two inches (2") of asphalt concrete is recommended. Increased pavement Fife can be gained by increasing the asphalt content. • Drainage (A) - To ensure proper drainage, the surface of a bike path should have a cross slope of two percent (217o). Sloping in Ci of Diamond Bar' Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City '- one direction is the preferred practice, Bike paths constructed on the side of a hill may require q ' uire a drainage ditch on the uphill side. • Barrier Posts (A) - When barrier posts are determined to be ry ' necessa to prevent motor vehicles from entering, care should be taken 'to assure that the barriers are highly visible and well marked for day and night visibility. • Other - The State Highway Design Manual also contains other standards, such as: Horizontal Alignment and Superelevation Stopping Distance Length of Crest Vertical Curves Lateral Clearance on Horizontal Curves v C;6 Class # Bikeways (Bike Lanes) d Class 11 Bikeways, called bike lanes, shall be one-way facilities. Two-way bike lanes are not permitted. C Draft 11.1 Widths (M) Bike lane width minimums vary depending on parking conditions and curb types. Where parking is allowed and parking spaces are marked, the bike lane shall be five feet (5') wide as measured from the edge of the striped parking stalls. When parking is permitted without parking stripes, the curb lane shall be a minimum of 11 feet (with rolled curb) and a minimum of 12 feet (with vertical curb). These dimensions allow for the parking and bike travel to occur within the minimum width. Bike lanes shall not be placed between the parking area and the ; , curb. The most desirable condition for bike lanes is on streets where ` 1 parking is prohibited. The minimum bike lane width is four feet (with the one foot gutter) or five feet (with a two-footgutter). Additional width for the bike lone is desirable. A typical motor vehicle lane next to a bike lane is 12 feet, but under favorable conditions, an 11_ -foot lane may be feasible. Bike lanes should be placed on the right hand side of one-way streets to avoid forcing bicyclists and motorists to make crossing maneuvers when turning left onto a two-way street. -' 23 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar • Striping and Signing (M) - Raised barriers or raised pavement markings shall not be used to delineate bike lanes. Caltrans standards should be used to determine appropriate striping and signing for bikeways. Intersection Design (A) - Since most auto/bicycle accidents occur at intersections, bikeway design at intersections should concentrate on minimizing motorist and bicyclist confusion. Bicycle sensitive detectors within a bike lane should be considered at actual signal - controlled intersections. Class N&ke ways jBike Routes) Class III Bikewoys (bike routes) are intended to provide continuity to a bikeway system, including completing linkages and the provision of connections from neighborhoods to Class I or Class 11 bikeways. On these facilities, bicycles share space with motor vehicles on the streets. Whenever possible, bike routes should therefore be placed on streets in which the curb lane extends the minimum width provided for motor vehicles. • On -Street Bike Route Criteria (A) - Bike routes should be signed only if some of the following apply: Draft Designated routes will provide for through and direct travel in "bicycle -demand" corridors; The routes will connect discontinuous segments of bike lanes; Effort is made to adjust traffic control devices to give greater priority to bicyclists; Street parking has been removed or restricted in areas of critical width; Street imperfections or irregulariffles have been corrected; and Maintenance of the route will be at a higher standard than that of other comparable streets. 24 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar • Sidewalk Bikeway Criteria (A) - The designated use of sidewalks as a. Bike Route is generally considered 'unsatisfactory. Restrictions for sidewalk use are provided in the State of California Vehicle Code. Access Barriers While not all Class t bikeways are designed to limit access to certain points (like freeway on -and -off ramps) where desired, they can be used. Los Angeles County has designed a barrier to control access to Class I bike paths. This design is included in the Department of Public Works Book of Standard Plans, available from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. Landscaping Landscaping is considered an amenity. For this reason, only incidental or essential landscaping should be funded from bikeway construction funds. Separate funding, such as State Environmental Enhancement and Mitigations funds, or Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA) programs, recreation and park funds, or other sources should be used for projects which incorporate large amounts of landscaping. Funding MTA requires that all projects constructed with Regional Bikeway funds be designed to Caltrans standards. Applicants should follow procedures indicated in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual for projects with design exceptions from mandatory standards. Agreement by the MTA to fund facilities containing documented design exceptions shall not be construed as an approval of such designs. Safety and Security features These features include provision of milepost markers, destination signs, call boxes, illumination, and landscaping. However, separate standards exist for all of these features and should be followed when such features are included in a bikeway project. 3. Transit Function Bicycle routes provide an important role in transportation planning as bicycles Draft 25 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar are increasingly viewed as a method to decrease motor vehicle travel, thereby decreasing congestion and vehicle emissions (air pollution). Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan includes a regional non -motorized transportation program. That program contains strategies and actions supporting the development of a regional non -motorized transportation system. Their action program outlines (among other items) a regional and subregional planning process to develop a regional plan and subregional non -motorized plans for future incorporation into the RTP update. SCAG is developing a region -wide non -motorized transportation plan which covers all non -motorized transportation in Los Angeles County except bicycles. In Los Angeles County, SLAG will utilize the MTA subregional bicycle master plans for guidance regarding bicycle planning. MTA Long Range Plan The Long Range Plan is MTA's strategic plan to establish a framework to guide the MTA in fulfilling its mission. The plan includes a series of recommendations related to transportation in Los Angeles County and sets forth major policy directions intended to guide the MTA in accomplishing its mission to construct and operate a safe, reliable, affordable and efficient transportation system. One of the key plan strategies covers non -motorized transportation, including pedestrian improvements and bikeways. MTA's current strategy is to focus its involvement in major interjurisdictional bikeway connections, bottlenecks and demonstrated bicycle commute corridors. The plan states that "Bicycle, pedestrians and other non -motorized modes are in many ways the cleanest and most cost-effective forms of travel. Safe, attractive and convenient access to transit and non -motorized alternatives to auto travel are therefore an important part of the transportation system." (MTA, February, 1995) The importance of Diamond Bar's plans being coordinated with and complementary of MTA's plan relates primarily to funding opportunities and the fact that adjacent jurisdiction will likely also coordinate their plans with MTA's plans. This should result in a consistent approach to dealing with regional routes. MTA has adopted a San Gabriel Valley Bikeway Master Plan which includes three routes that are partially within the City: Draft 26 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar • Hacienda Heights/Diamond Bar - a 28.2 mile route using Colima Road, Nogales Street, and Brea Canyon Cutoff; - Diamond Bar/Glendora - an 11 mile route using Grand Avenue, Badillo Street, and Glendora Avenue; and • Nogales - a 7.8 mile route using Nogales Avenue and Pathfinder Road. Figure 5 contains an excerpt of that plan. Conge5fion management "Ian (CMP) in addition to transportation demand regulations, another element of the CMP program in Los Angeles County is the awarding of CMP credits to jurisdictions which implement specific transportation improvements. Credits are used by jurisdictions to offset debits incurred as a result of development activity. Bikeway projects are among the types of improvements which will be considered for credits. Bikeway projects must either have discretionary funding or be included in an MTA bicycle master plan to be eligible for CMP credits. Federal Policy The 1990 National Transportation Policy developed by the United States Department of Transportation states: "it is the Federal transportation policy to: promote increased use of bicycling and encourage planners and engineers to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian needs in designing transportation facilities for urban and suburban areas" (DOT, 1990). The 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) legislation recognized the transportation value of bicycling and includes a number of features to assist in meeting the needs of bicyclists. TDM (Travel Demand Mancgement] Ordinance - Requirements for Bicycle Facilities On March 16, 1993, the Diamond Bar City Council adopted Ordinance No.: 01 (1993), related to Trip Reduction and Travel Demand Measures. Every municipality in Los Angeles County was required to adopt a TDM ordinance with minimum standards mandated by the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP). Failure to adopt such an ordinance would make a municipality ineligible to receive certain types of funding as passed Draft 27 FIGURE 5 A!, EXCERPT SAN GABRIEL VALLEY BIKEWAY MASTER PLAN Cf TFIt c OYINA lw I P6eNj . ......... .... ...

The Diamond Bar ordinance complies with the CMP standards for new non-residential development, by including the following standards: • New non=residential, development of 25,000 square feet or more is required to have a bulletin board, display case or kiosk displaying transportation information, including: bicycle route and facility information, regional/local 'bicycle maps and bicycle safety information and a listing of facilities available for bicyclists at the site; • New non-residential development of 50,000 or more square feet shall provide, in addition to information, as specified above, a bicycle rack (or other secure bicycle parking) to accommodate four bikes for the first 50,000 square feet and one' bike per additional 50,000 square feet; and • New non-residential development of more than 100,000 square feet shall provide safe, convenient access from the external circulation system to bicycle parking facilities on site, in addition to the information and secure bike parking specified above. B. ROUTES For purposes of analysis the routes are listed in alphabetical order by their proposed future classification. 1. Class I Routes Class I bicycle routes require a separate right-of-way for bicycle traffic, separated from motor vehicle traffic by a barrier which is a minimum of a two feet wide, 6" raised curb. Other barriers can also be utilized. These routes must be aminimum of five feet wide for one-way travel which requires two separate pathways,,or eight feet wide for two-way travel. The City of Diamond Bar is presently constructing one Class I bikeway. • Brea Canyon Road- is designated by the County.as a regional route and provides access to Heritage Park and Diamond Bar High School. Upon completion of the Brea Canyon Road improvements from Pathfinder Road to the City boundary, approximately 1.4 miles southbound and 1.0 miles northbound of Class I route will exist._A small segment of Class III route will exist approximately 150 feet north and south of Diamond Bar Boulevard, as that segment does not have sufficient width to provide for continuity of the 29 Draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar Class I bikeway. All other segments of Brea Canyon Road between Pathfinder and the southerly City limits are proposed as a Class li bikeway. This segment totals approximately 1.7 miles. 2. Class 11 Routes Class Il bikeways require a designated lane within the right-of-way for bicycle travel. This designated lane must match the flow of traffic and be a minimum of five feet in width. A number of Class 11 bikeways exist within the City and additional Class II bikeways are identified as having future potential for this designation. • Brea Canyon Road A Class II bikeway is proposed from the northerly City limit to Pathfinder, a distance of 1.2 miles. This is a regional route (as noted above and with respect to the portion of Brea Canyon Road designated as Class 1) and provides access to a number of facilities, including the Metrolink Train Station, and the Golden Springs and Pathfinder routes. • Brea Canyon Cutoff- This route is also a community -wide route providing access to regional routes. The plan recommends, at interim basis, Class III signage be provided and that the route be upgraded to Classll,.when feasible. The length of this route is approximately 0.9 miles and it is part of MTA's designated Hacienda Heights/Diamond Bar route which totals 28.2 miles. • Diamond Bar Boulevard- Is currently designated a Class 11 route and much of the route has been improved with designated lanes ranging in width from 5 to 11 feet. This route provides links with regional facilities, as well as with neighborhood routes throughout the City of Diamond Bar and provides access to Sycamore Canyon Park and the proposed Summitridge Park trail. It is recommended that the Class 11 improvements be completed, when feasible, from Grand to Quail Summit, from Gentle Springs to the Pomona Freeway (Route 60), and from Solitaire to the City boundary. This route is approximately 6.4 miles in length. • Go/den Springs Drive- This community -serving route, which is partially developed as a Class 11 bikeway, providing lanes that range from 5 to 14 feet in width. This route is approximately 5.4 miles long and links a number of regional routes to neighborhood routes throughout the City of Diamond Bar and also provides access to Carlton Peterson Park, Sycamore Canyon Park, the Diamond Bar Golf Course, and a number of elementary schools. It is recommended that, when feasible, this route be completed to Class Il Draft 01 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Barry' standards from the Pomona Freeway (Route 60) to Temple, adjacent to the'° Route 57 Freeway, and from Brea Canyon Road to Banning Way. ti • GrandAvenue - A portion of Grand Avenue is currently developed as a Class III route providing some signage identifying the bikeway. The plan proposes that Grand Avenue be upgraded to a Class 11 route, when feasible, ' and that it, as an interim measure, that the ClassIII posting be completed'. Grand Avenue, approximately 2.3 miles of which is within the City, serves as a link to regional routes, as well as providing access to Summitridge Park. It also forms part of MIA's 1'1 -mile Diamond Bar/Glendora route. a • Gateway Center Loop -.This 1.9 -mile route, which is newly proposed by this plan, provides access to a number of commercial facilities, including Diamond Bar City Hall, and provides a number of views of the area. This loop contains two approximate one -mile segments forming an approximate two- mile grig is area be designated as a Class II bikeway by adding' lane striping g and signage as soon as feasible. • Lycoming Street -`This approximate 0.5 mile route serves as a neighborhood route by providing links to regional routes and to Walnut Elementary School. Sufficient right-of-way is available to upgrade this route to Class ll. It is recommended that interim Class III signage be provided as soon as possible and that' this route be upgraded to Class 11, when feasible. • Lemon Avenue (North of Golden Springs) -This route also provides linkage to regional routes and to Walnut Elementary School, Walnut Unified School District Office, and the Def Paso High School (just north of the City boundary). , It is recommended that interim Class III signage be provided as soon as possible and that this route, which is approximately 0.4 miles in length, be upgraded to Class II when, feasible. • Pathfinder Road- This community -serving route, which is currently not designated, is recommended as a Class II route. It is part of MIA's 7.8 -mile Nogales route. It provides links to regional routes, as well as to Diamond Bar High School. It is recommended that this route, which is approximately 1.8 miles in length, have interim Class III signage installed as soon as possible and be upgraded to a Class II route, as soon as feasible. •Temple Avenue- This route, which is approximately 0.3 miles in length, links the Golden Springs and Diamond Bar routes to the northern end of the City, with the Lanterman Developmental Center and Acute Care Hospital in ZO Pomona. It is recommended that this route be improved to Class II Draft 31 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar designation between Diamond Bar Boulevard to Golden Springs to match their Class II designations. 3. Class III Routes These routes are designated on City maps and posted with signs identifying them as bicycle routes. No improvements are proposed. These routes primarily provide access within neighborhoods and from neighborhoods to ,. regional routes, • Armitos Place/Bowcreek Drive - This 1.5 mile route links the Golden Springs route (proposed Class II) to other neighborhood loops and was designated on the Parks Master Plan as a neighborhood route. This expands that recommendation to include Bowcreek Drive (0.5 miles) as a connection to ' the Pantera Loop and Pantera Park, and recommends that signage be provided. • Goldrush Drive - This connector, which was identified in the Parks Master Plan, provide a links to other routes and via an adjacent loop to Pantera Park. Signage is recommended for its approximate 0.5 mile length. • Maple Hill/Birdseye Loop- This neighborhood route, of approximately 2.5 miles, links Chaparral Middle and Maple Hill Elementary Schools. It also provides access to Diamond Bar Boulevard and Maple Hill Park. It is recommended that the signage be provided designating these streets as a bicycle route. a } Maple Hill/Kiowa Crest Loop - This loop provides an extension of the Birdseye Loop by adding approximately 0.9 miles, for a total of 3.4 miles. This plan recommends that signage be provided designating this as a bike route. • Lemon/WillowBud/Larkstone Loop-This.is a neighborhood which links South Point Middle School to the Golden Springs route and would provide access to future Larkstone Park and Larkstone Park Trail, once developed. It is recommended that signage be provided along this approximate 1.4 mile ,,..\ route. Pantera/Leyland Loop -This routelinks to Pantera Park and to the future - school site. It is recommended that Class III bicycle route signage be provided along its approximate 1.1 mile route. y Prospectors/Clearview Crest Loop- This approximate 1.6 mile route links the - Draft 32 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar Sunset Crossing route (see below) to Armstrong Elementary School. if is ' recommended that signage be provided along this route. • SummitridgeAongviewLoop -This approximate 2.2 mileroutelinks Grand Avenue and Summitridge Park, via an adjacent loop, to Pantera Park. It is recommended that signage be provided designating 'this as a Class Ili bikeway., 0 • Sunset Crossing Road- This proposed 1.5 mile neighborhood route links Diamond Point Elementary School and the Little League Park. It also connects to the Golden Springs and Diamond Bar (both Class II) routes. It is recommended that signage be provided. • Sylvan Glen Road- This neighborhood route of approximately 0.2 miles, links the Golden Springs (Class ll) route to Peterson Park. It is recommended that i signage be provided. • Quail Summit/Forest Canyon 'Loop -This proposed 1.6 mile bikeway will connect with Quail Summit Elementary School and the Class II routes, and Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard. This plan recommends .b expanding this route to a full loop by adding portions of Rolling Knoll Road and Coyote Springs Drive, and providing signage along the entire route. The bicycle routes proposed by this plan are identified on Figure 6. These routes are also identified in summary fashion on Table 3.�� C. LINKAGES Diamond Bar's bicycle routes provide linkages to a regional system of bikeways designatedby adjacent jurisdictions, Los Angeles County, and the i, Metropolitan Transportation Authority for both transportation and recreational purposes (see Figure 5).

A number of loops for recreational purposes can be created by linking routes u entirely within the City of Diamond Bar, as well as adjacent regional routes. Three routes popular with bicycling enthusiasts are discussed below. • Grand Avenue east to Chino Hills Parkway, south to Carbon Canyon, southwest to Lambert, west to Brea Canyon, north to Grand Avenue forms an approximate 25 miles loop and can be ridden clockwise or counter -clockwise. • An approximate 9.5 mile loop can be created by using Diamond Bar Boulevard, Golden Springs Drive, and Brea Canyon Road. This loop can be extended to an approximate 15 mile route by utilizing Grand Avenue northbound to Valley Boulevard in the City of Industry, and then southwest on Valley to Brea Canyon Road, following Brea Canyon Road southerly, into the City of Diamond Bar. • A figure-eight loop of approximately 6.1 miles can be achieved by linking Diamond Bar Boulevard and Golden Springs Drive by Grand Avenue on the south, and Temple Avenue on the north. D. SUPPORT FACILITIES Rest stops are proposed to be provided along identified bicycle routes in the LL. City of Diamond Bar and are shown on Figure 6. Many of these rest stops are provided at parks and community facilities along the designated routes 4 which also provide services, including: Peterson Park, Sycamore Canyon Park, Summitridge Park, and Heritage Park. One rest stop is proposed (also serving the urban walkway which parallels the bicycle route) on Brea Canyon Road at Castle Rock Road (Type B). 37 Draft wy Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar VI. COST ESTIMATES Cost estimates for the various components of each element of the plan have been developed. A. RECREATIONAL TRAILS Recreational trails cost estimates involve the improvements needed for both recreational routes Goff public (ghts-of-way) and walking routes with public rights-of-way. 1. Cost Parameters A variety of cost components are involved in developing recreational trails and walking routes. Cost estimates of some features are indicated on Table 4 (as provided by Hirsch & Associates, Inc.). Other costs are specific to the project involved. 2. Conceptual Cost Estimates Development of the recreational trails system, as proposed, consists of two elements. The first is signing the urban walkways. Assuming a small, at -grade mounted sign every 528 feet (0.1 mile), at a cost of approximately $25 (installed) per sign, the cost would be approximately $250 per mile of route. Since some loops involve different streets, the cost for those loops (Loops A, G, and F) would be $500 per mile, since signs would need to be provided on both sides of the street. Loops B, C, D, and E, since they utilize only one street have already accounted for the need for a sign on the alternate side of the street and would, therefore, be $250 per mile. A minimum of two informational signs would be provided for each route at an estimated cost of $200 each (installed). This signage would be standardized indicating the mileage (0.1, 0.2 miles, etc.). Recreational trails costs include a number of factors, such as: the cost of the trail head and rest stop facilities (which are detailed on Table 5 by class of facility) and the nature of any other improvement work that may be required, such as: land acquisition, plan preparation, grading, installation of guard rails, etc. The cost for these improvements for the trails provided within the City, as Draft 38 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar TABLE 4 Cost Estimates Trail Head / Rest Stop Components Cost Range Per Item Features Options Minimum Maximum Wrought Iron Bench $800 $1,200 Wood Bench $500 $800 Seating -- Picnic Tables with $500 $1,000 integral Benches Locking Containers (4 $3,500 $5,000 bicycles) Bike Rack (4 bicycles) $250 $400 Bicycle Storage Bike Rack (6 bicycles) $400 $800 Shade Structure with integral seating for 6 - $8,000 $10,000 8 persons Shade Cluster of Trees (example: 2 48" box $1,600 $2,000 plus 1 60" box) Drinking Fountain $3,500 $4,000 w/sump information Kiosk or Other Bulletin/Announceme $2,500 $3,000 nt Board Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan C- (n 0 L (D 14-- 0 a) nL CD Q 0 LO Lj- -0 0 C: V) • C3 ry -0 C: 0 (D J: 2 City of Diamond Bar 00000000000000 0000 0 0 0 8 8 S C:) C) c:> C> C:) 0 C) 0 0 C) 0 MOMO C) CDP C4 q co LO 0 C-4 M LO 6 _: "It 06 6 4 10 M d C) V) CO '0 Co I C:> C:) C) 0 0 8 (:) 00 0 0 LO C) C) C) ol C) 0 0 0 0 b 2 C4 LO Lr) 04 OC) it) Cq LO C-4 U) LO %0 C) Lr! -.6 1 _: 04 M C-4 (Y) r^,10 D CI4 =) U L 0 0 L 0 L 0 0) 0 S 0 E ;75 w C3 C: 0 C0 — a) 0 — 0 0 -�z U- -0 4) 0 () LL.

Since, the Skyline (Schabarum) Trail is a County -owned and maintained trail, no cost allocation is provided, as no City improvements are anticipated. B. BICYCLE ROUTES C) 1. Cost Parameters 01 a. Costs Based on County Standards Conceptual planning level estimates of bicycle improvement costs have been developed based on cost factors included in Appendix B of the ti LACMTA County -wide Bicycle Policy Document. Those cost factors have been applied to the, proposed bicycle route improvements to estimate the Q conceptual costs of implementing the proposed bicycle system. The cost' 01 factors used in the County report were inflated by the cumulative CPI , I�3 changet p which compounds to 16.1 percent to adjust from the 1994 esti mates used by MTA to year 2000 dollars and rounded to the nearest thousand. It is assumed that due to intervening streets (which can range from 10to20 percent of the total length of a route), right-of-way requirements are based on the need to acquire 85 percent of the calculated route length. Using this County -based data, the following set of cost estimates was developed. I' 0 • Class l Bike Paths - Costs range above $150,000 per mile plus right-of-way cost. 011 CIS • Class 2 Bike Lanes - For planning purposes, a cost of $30,000 per mile (for 01 2 -way travel) is used for restriping only (new striping and removal of existing striping). An additional $16,000 per mile would be required for each an 1 additional foot (width) of paving within existing rights-of-way, for a total 1 planning level cost estimate of $108,000 per mile when, for example, roadway construction for half the required width is involved. Purchase of right-of-way would substantially increase the project cost. For example, at $30 per square foot, the right-of-way cost for a five foot wide lane in both directions is $1,584,000 per mile. Total planning level cost including right-of- way is therefore $1,631,000 per mile. r • Class 3 Bike Routes - For planning purposes, a cos_ t of between $5,000 and $6,000 per mile allowance for signage is used.

(3/8/01) Draft 43 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar 2. Conceptual Cost Estimates a. Bikeways The bicycle route as proposed in this plan will result in the development of: • 1.2 miles (average) of Class l bikeways (Brea Canyon is under construction at time of plan preparation); • 21.6 miles of Class 2 bikeways; and • 15.0 miles of Class 3 facilities. Applying the planning level cost factors shown above to the number of miles y. of new facilities yields a conceptual' estimate of the total costs of implementing the plan. Those costs are shown in Table 8. b. Parkin No parking is proposed in conjunction with the development of the identified bicycle routes. C. Programs Costs will vary based on type of programs implemented and extent of the target audience that is served and whether or not they are offered on a fee basis for participants or free to commuters.

FUNDING SOURCES A number of funding sources have been identified which have the potential to be able to be used to provide for the improvements required to implement the recommended recreational trails, urban walkways, and bicycle routes contained in this Plan. A number of these funding sources are applicable only to bicycle routes, but some can be used for both bicycle routes and recreational trails. The allocation of these funds is administered by a variety of agencies, including: the City of Diamond Bar; the County of Los Angeles; the Metropolitan Transportation Authority; the South Coast Air Quality Management District; a 'number of State agencies; and the Federal government. tis Table 9 presents a comprehensive overview of the funding sources that are available to the City of Diamond Bar for the implementation of this plan. In many instances, some of the dollar amounts for funding are limited, or already pledged to other projects. Others involve programs which are highly competitive for the amount of funds available. While some funds are controlled by the,City, others are allocated to projects that meet the objectives of the granting or funding agency. To the extent that the City can cooperate with other jurisdictions to tie the improvement of Diamond Bar facilities to regional and/or interjurisdictional facilities, the probability of obtaining outside funds would increase.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES A number of future activities can be undertaken by the City of Diamond Bar to support the recommendations of this plan. Since this is a planning and feasibility study, which does not have a binding effect on the City, the following steps are suggested as future action items. First Priority Five projects have been identified as a first priority for future activities due to their feasibility. Some are low cost, others complete work previously started, and one (the recreational trail recommendation) is centrally located to serve the entire City and links to current capital improvement activities. • Prepare a trail development and implement plan for the combined Summitridge-Syca more Canyon Trail system, including an "on demand" activated signal on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Steep Canyon Road. • Provide urban walkway signage for Loops A and B and monitor community interest. • Complete signage and striping for the following Class 11 bicycle routes: Brea Canyon Road; Diamond Bar Boulevard; Golden Springs Drive; Gateway Center Loop; and Pathfinder Road. • Complete signage for the following Class III bicycle routes: Sunset Crossing Road; Sylvan Glen Road; and Quail Summit/Forest Canyon Loop. • Prepare a color map/brochure for distribution to the community showing the bicycle routes, urban walkways, and recreational trails (both existing and proposed).

The results of the original questionnaire were distributed at the joint meeting of the Parks & Recreation Commission and Traffic & Transportation Commission on May 11, 2000. A copy of the survey card and Tables 1 through 8 summarizing the results are included in this Appendix. Over 600 individuals responded to the questionnaire - 567 by returning the questionnaires distributed with the March 2000 issue of "The Windmill' with 42 additional questionnaires submitted at the April 9' birthday celebration. Approximately 15 cards were returned after the analysis was completed, but upon review, they substantially reflect the same information provided by the original 609 questionnaires. Those individuals who participated in the various activities surveyed (bicycling - both street and mountain biking, running and/or jogging cross-country or on City streets and sidewalks, walking on trails, or sidewalks, and/or horseback riding), had a higher level of interest in the City providing facilities. For example, individuals who had a high degree of participation in bicycling activities felt that designated bikeways were very or somewhat important, whereas individuals participating in running or jogging activities, felt that the provision of enhanced walking paths or cross-country hiking and running trails were very or somewhat important. ` The responses from individuals who participated in at least one activity in Diamond Bar ranked the following as important (in priority order of their designation): Safety 24.8% Convenient Parking 14.3% ry Connections/Loops 12.6% a ` Frequency of Use and Variety 11.2% each Draft 53 r c Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route MasterPlan City of Diamond Bar" Cost 9.2% Convenience to Other Activities 6.5% When all responses were tabulated, whether or not individuals participated in the activities, the following ranked as important factors (in order of priority):'`'' C) Safety 23.4% Convenient Parking13.5%' Connections/Loops 11.4% CD Variety 11.1 1 Cost and Frequency of Use 9.7% Convenience to Other Activities 6.2% Ci: The most important factors for all participants were safety, convenient parking, connections/loops, and variety. Cost was the most important' factor to those not participating in these types of activities. At the April 9, 2000 birthday event, information was collected from participants regarding favored walking routes or bicycle routes in the City. Participants indicated with colored pens o maps their preferred routes. This information was evaluated in prioritizing the bicycle route designations and in (D identifying recreational trails and walking routes in the °City. C At the February 1" and V open houses, tables were set up which were CID staffed by the City(to discuss existing plans), Joe Foust of Austin -Foust Associates (to discuss issues related to bicycle routes) and Pat Hirsch of Hirsch 0 & Associates, Inc. (to discuss recreational trails). A meet -the -commissioners C) .table was set up with various commissioners from both the Parks & Recreation ,;,, Commission and the'Traffic & Transportation Commission, staffing the table to ;,, discuss activities with interested residents. The final table provided opportunities to' participate in three exercises and was staffed by the Roth Group. Information on the February 1 and 3, 2001 open houses was distributed to the community through announcements at City Council meetings, on the City's cable station, and web site. Flyers were distributed at 16 sporting goods and bicycle shops throughout the area, and at City facilities. A notice was placed in "The Windmill'and " Weekly News". Notices were also sent to the following organizations: California Association of Bicycling Organizations; Concerned Off -Road Bicycle Association; Long Beach Cyclists; L.A. County Bicycle Coalition; BCCIE; Orange County Bicycle Coalition; California Bicycle Coalition; Sierra Club of Southern California; Sierra Club's Mt. Baldy Group Draft 54 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar Newsletter; Southern California Bicyclists; and to a number of individuals who signed up at the April 2000 birthday celebration requesting to be notified of future activities. Public participation at the open houses included -a mapping exercise to identify additional bicycle routes, recreational, trails, and walking routes in the City of Diamond Bar. A questionnaire which outlined the goals proposed by the Parks & Recreation and Traffic & Transportation Commissions, solicited information on whether or not agreement with those goalswasachieved. Table 9 summarizing that input is included with this Appendix. Participants validated all the plan goals developed by the Parks & Recreation and Traffic & Transportation Commissions. The most important goals to those participants related to: varying skill level trails; linkages; joint use; right-of-way improvements; and completion of partial routes over new routes. Additional suggestions obtained in response to the questionnaire were: Provide rest stops along. street walks Signs along trails enforcing litter and leash laws and dog waste clean up Trash collection facilities along routes Mile markers on Diamond Bar Boulevard Provide mountain bike trails "Have separate routes for hikers and cyclists to reduce bickering between people on who is hogging the path. Perhaps have a large path for all that extends to other routes suiting what you are doing." A dot exercise was also provided. Preferred facilities were identified by participants, both for bicycle route rest stops and for trail heads. Table 10, summarizing the results of that exercise, are also enclosed with this Appendix. In reviewing the features identified in the dot exercise, both bicycle riders and hiker/walkers identified the same features in the same order as being important: parking, drinking fountains, shade trees, shade structure, bench, bike rack, and picnic table. When combining like elements, e.g. shade trees and/or shade structure, which are really alternatives to accomplish the same objective, the ranking changes to: shade; parking; drinking fountain; bench and/or picnic table; and bike rack.

These properties are not now available for public use, but present opportunities for the City of Diamond Bar if agreements can be negotiated. It should be noted that ownership of these properties may change. As of this writing, the State of California is negotiating for the purchase of Edison's y transmission lines, which may or may not ultimately include the land on which they are located. Also, the Boy Scouts are in the process of selling a portion of their Firestone Reservation property. The easements and/or utility right-of-ways are owned by Edison International r (Southern California Edison Company), the Southern California Gas Company (Semper Energy Company), and the County of Los Angeles. Only one of the easements owned by the County of Los Angeles, which is designated for riding and hiking, is currently available for recreational purposes. Other properties potentially involved in providing an access to the Skyline (Schabarum) Trail and Tonner Canyon Trail are currently owned by Transamerica Minerals Co., Shell Oil Co., and the Boy Scouts of America. Edison Easements Edison International (Southern California Edison Company) has',a series of easements and/or rights-of-way ranging from 25 feet to 50 feet in width which cut through the City of Diamond Bar on an east/west axis. These easements are shown on Exhibit C-1. Beginning on the west, the first of these runs from the 57/60 Freeway south of Grand Avenue across Golden Springs Drive and Grand Avenue to Diamond Bar Boulevard just southerly of Sycamore Canyon Park, paralleling Rio Lobos Road. This changes from a 25 -foot wide easement westerly of Grand Avenue to a 50 -foot wide easement easterly of Grand Avenue. The second segment commences g es at Diamond Bar Boulevard d between Clear Creek Canyon Drive and Steep Canyon Road, crossing Clear Creek Canyon Drive north of Meandering Creek Drive and terminating just easterly of Wynnewood Drive and B ryn Ath n Way (Just east of Summitrid e Drive). This Draft 69 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Mosier Plan City of Diamond Bar segment is 50 feet in width. The third segment (also 50 feet wide) commences.approximately 0.2 miles southerly of the terminus of the prior segment (near Breckenridge Court and Greenrock Court) and then crosses Summitridge Drive paralleling Thunder Trail and Nan Court, terminating approximately 0.2 miles easterly of Longview Drive. Southern California Gas Company The Southern California Gas Company maintains a 30" high pressure line traversing the City of Diamond Bar in an east/west direction. The transmission line and the easements within which it is located are shown on a series of Gas Company atlas sheets (LA 270-1 & 2, 215-1, 2, & 3,202-1, 2, & 3, and 147-1, 3, & 4). The location of this line is schematically shown on Figure C-2. From east to west, the line enters the City at a point almost midway between Rimford Drive and Lodgepole Road, in approximately the some location as the County of Los Angeles' Riding and Hiking easements (see below). It proceeds west and crosses Diamond Bar Boulevard northerly of Mountain Laurel Way. The line stays within the Mountain Laurel right-of-way until Fox Glen Drive and then returns to private property crossing both Deerfoot and Kiowa Crest Drives. The line continues westerly and crosses the Route 57 (Orange) Freeway southerly of the Valley Vista/Bridge Gate Drives loop. It crosses Brea Canyon Road and logs northerly to follow Sapphire Lane in a westerly direction. The line then continues northwest to Golden Springs Drive. It then proceeds southwesterly within Golden Spriings Road to just northerly of Calbourne Drive, where its turns northwesterly along Calbourne Drive and then to the City limit line to Walnut Drive. Los Angeles County A series of easements are owned by the County of Los Angeles and form part of the Skyline (Schabarum) Trail system within the City of Diamond Bar. These easements (approximately 10 feet wide) are designated for riding and hiking, and are shown on Exhibit C-3. The primary access to this easement is on the south side of Grand Avenue across from Summitridge Park.

This cost, of course, would only be applicable to walkways where the actual installation of the markers had already occurred. For example, utilizing the proposal for all eight urban walkways which total a length of 24 miles, 9 the estimatedtotal improvement cost is $9,200 ($6,000 for ` the markers and $3,200 for the informational signs). If the entire system were installed, it is estimated that the annual replacement costs for markers and signage would be approximately $1,000. The first priority recommendations, however, (where only Loops A and B would be installed to evaluate the utilization of the facilities), total 6.9 miles at a cost of approximately $2,100 (69 markers and 4 signs). The annual maintenance costs (essentially the ;. replacement of damaged or missing markers and informational signs) would be approximately $210 per year. Bicycle Routes Similarly, with bicycle routes, it is not anticipated that once theinitial striping for Class II routes is installed, that it would need to be replaced - except in the normal process of street improvements, such as slurry sealing when centerline and other striping is replaced. The additional striping for the bicycle routes would be ad e mini mi s additional cost to those improvements. r� However, it is anticipated that there will be some loss of signage due to accidents and, possibly, vandalism. As with the markers for the urban walkways, this is estimated to occur at a ratio of approximately 10% per year of the improved routes. Therefore, since signage installation is equivalent to r an estimated $5,240 per mile of installed route, the annualized replacement cost would be approximately $524per installed mile of bicycle route. If the Draft 77 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar entire Class 11 and III system were installed (an estimated 37.6 miles), annual replacement cost would be just under $20,000 per year. Trail Heads and Rest Stops With respect to the facilities, and equipment installed at trail heads and rest stops, it is estimated that those improvements should bacemeniteeserve year period. Therefore, an allocation of 20% for a rep, per year, for each type of rest stop or trail head, should be budgeted. For example, if the improvements for a Class A trail head (less parking) are installed at a cost of between $8,550 and $18,700, a replacement reserve of $1,710 to $3,740 should be allocated in each of the five subsequent years for the normal replacement of signage and facilities. Recreational Trails Trail maintenance is, however, more difficult to budget due to the lack of the City's experience with this activity. In this regard, an estimate of trail maintenance costs was obtained by utilizing information obtained from the County of Los Angeles, Department of Parks and Recreation, based on their Trails Division's annual budget and the length of trails (in miles) maintained by that division. This estimate is $ per mile of improved trail. 78 1 CITY OF DIAMOND BAR AGENDA REPORT AGENDA NO.

May 1, 2001 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council James DeStefano, Interim City Manager Authorization for purchase of SCALA -based cable generation system ISSUE STATEMENT: As part of the City's strategy for- further enhancing communications with the public, a coordinated plan for the transfer, implementation, and administration of the City of Diamond Bar's government access cable television channel (17) has been developed (see Appendix A). This plan will maximize use of the City's channel through direct administration, and provide a foundation for future programming strategies. To implement Phase 1 of the process, it will be necessary to purchase an integrated system that can provide real-time solutions for the presentation of public announcements and limited content (e.g., broadcasts/re-broadcasts of City Council meetings).Funding for the system has already been allocated this fiscal year. However, because the total amount exceeds the City Manager's authorization, as well as the limit set for individual vendors, the purchase must be authorized by the City Council. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the. City Council authorize the purchase of a SCALA -based cable generation system and associated components (as outlined in Appendix B) from Pacific Video. Products, Inc. for an amount not to exceed' $19,875. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: ` As reflected in the current FY '00-'01 Communications and Marketing Division budget, funding has been allocated for the purchase, installation, and integration of the SCALA - based cable generation system and associated components Vendor selection is based upon competitive pricing and company experience in integrating cable -related audiolvideo components. In addition to these considerations, Pacific Video Products, Inc. has been a primary supplier of audiolvideo components for Adelphia Cable. Pacific Video has also been involved in the integration, implementation, and expansion of similar cable -generation systems for the cities of Rancho Cucamonga, Yorba Linda, and others. BACKGROUND: On or about June 1, 2001, the City's cable television service provider, Adelphia Cable, will be launching its new channel lineup as a result of its fiber-optic upgrade. At that time, responsibility for the planning, implementation, and administration of the City's government access channel (17) will be completely turned over to the City of Diamond Bar. This resource, which has virtually been untapped, can provide an enhanced and expanded communication capability between the City and its citizenry. In preparation for utilization of this valuable resource; staff has created an incremental Transfer, Implementation, and Administration (TIA) Plan that is designed totakefull d t f h' VCA" an age o t is unique communication tool. The TIA Plan calls for a three -phased approach that could be realized under an "open" schedule, thereby allowing for a flexible transition from basic administration and implementation to advanced production and programming. For example, during Phase 1, the appropriate infrastructure (hardware, software, etc.) would be introduced to provide the City with the ability to create, schedule, and cablecast city -related information and Council meetings directly from its offices located in the SCAQMD facility. Phase 2 would build on this capability by scheduling and integrating limited programming content, which is available from various programming sources. Phase 3 would incorporate original productions into the programming mix that would focus on City activities and events. As previously noted, the timeline for each'Phase`of the'TIA Plan could be expanded or compressed depending on Council direction, as well as the near- and long-term needs of the community. Currently,staff resources required to carry out Phase 1 of the TIA Plan should be adequate. However, should the Council desire to expand upon this capability by implementing Phase 2 and 'Phase 3 of the Pian (completely optional), additional personnel and equipment would, most likely, be required. Although the ability to provide information to the public in a quick and efficient method would be realized in Phase 1 enhanced use of the City's government access channel, through enriched programming (Phase 2 and 3), could create a superior information resource for the Diamond Bar cable viewing community. As the City continues to incorporate today's electronic technologies into its methodology for delivering news and information to the public, it must be mindful of the public's preferred means for receiving this information. To date, overall numbers for Internet usage and cable television subscribership are rising, and it is reasonable to expect that these trends will continue. And even though traditional media outlets (e.g., print) will remain an accepted resource for disseminating information to the public, electronic media has become an ideal mainstream tool that can be utilized to augmentthis task. Prepared by Mike Nelson ' Currently, Adelphia estimates that 68% of all Diamond Bar households subscribe to cable service. a City of Diamond Bar Government Access Channel Transfer, Implementation, and Administration (TIA) Plan Background On or about June 1, 2001, the City's cable television service provider, Adelphia Cable, will be launching its new channel lineup as a result of its fiber-optic upgrade'. At that time, responsibility for the planning, implementation, and administration of the City's government access channel (17) will be completely turned over to the City of Diamond Bar. This resource, which has virtually been untapped, can provide an enhanced and expanded communication capability between the City and its citizenry. The TIA Plan As part of a carefully implemented approach, a proposed Transfer, Implementation; and Administration Plan (TIA) would be phased in over time, allowing for maximum flexibility and the steady, incremental development of Diamond Bar's channel 17. The initial implementation of the Plan - Phase 1— would consist of twoprimary events (see Figure 1). The first event includes the installation of the infrastructure that will be necessary to provide signal transmission from City Hall offices to Adelphia's "head end." Labor for this activity would be provided by Adelphia at no charge to the City. Cable Hardware Infrastructure Installation Digital Ancillary ; Workstation 1-1�r.J..-- The second event would include the procurement, installation, and integration of a cable - related generation system that will allow on-site programming for announcements and limited archived content. The system that has been chosen for this implementation provides added value to the City's communication efforts through its scaleable and expandable architecture. For example, initial system use would focus on cablecasting content via the City's government access channel 17. However, the system could also be used (with the introduction of additional components) for other applications such as Internet/Intranet, independent community kiosks, etc. (see Figure 2). Continued growth and maximization can be achieved through the implementation of Phase 2 and Phase 3.

Phase 2 of the TIA Plan would focus on the introduction of additional audio/video components to the system that would enhance the production capabilities of staff, allowing for a cost-effective approach to digital compositing and editing. To achieve this objective, it would require that a digital workstation be purchased (FY'01202), along with ancillary audio/video support devices, for production/programining tasks. Additionally, efforts to provide a'limited "mix" of programming would be undertaken to offer viewers topical information in a variety of areas., This mix would include the usual presentation of ongoing announcements and City Council meeting broadcasts/re broadcasts, and would also include limited, supplemental programming, which could be leased or purchased (in some cases, free content may also be available). To accomplish this task, footage of City Council meetings, special events, town hall meetings, etc. would be edited and prepared for broadcast on the ,City's digital workstation, and then inserted into the overall programming schedule. To further enhance special programming, professionally produced educational and, informational content would also be added. An example of this supplemental programming might be a weekly "Discover the Arts" series, which would include professionally produced programs (approximately 30-60 minutes in length) that would air at the same time every week; focusing on a different "arts -related" topic (e.g, music, literature, etc.) each time. As indicated previously, this type of programming can often be secured for "re -broadcast" over the City's government channel through minimal payment of license fees. In some, cases, no fees are charged at all for supplemental programming. Phase 3, and beyond, would incorporate "original" productions into the programming mix. To achieve this objective, personnel dedicated to the scripting, filming, and editing of selected projects would be required. In-house staff could, depending on workload, provide support for some of these areas. Adelphia personnel and/or part-time interns could also be recruited for assistance with selected projects. A good example of original programming would be the airing of a half-hour cable program that could focus on City -related programs, projects, and issues. This type of programming would provide viewers with an excellent vehicle for keeping up on official City business. Depending on available resources, other types of original programming could also be developed at some time in the future. The City of Diamond Bar's Transfer, Implementation and Administration Plan for channel 17 is the next logical step in utilizing current technology to further advance communication efforts with the community. By introducing a carefully planned program for this medium, the City can make use of a valuable resource that offers an effective method for the dissemination of news and information.

Cities in Mexico, Norway, France, Italy, and Mei Mei Huff the Caribbean have been suggested, as well as a number of cities in China and Taiwan. The customary criteria for selecting a sister city or friendship city includes SECRETARY: population, demographics, and landmass - and we have certainly considered these Mary Payton factors. But for the sake of practicality the interest level amongst active "supporters" of Diamond Bar Sister City needs to also be a factor. We are supported by donations from residents and businesses and if we ignore BOARD METER: the wishes of sponsors and potential sponsors in favor of following the suggestions Ed Beiderman of non-sponsors, we will end up unable to support our programs. Lyle Henry Diamond Bar Sister City has been contacted by several Diamond Bar residents who were born in Chuxioing who have urged us to establish a relationship with that city. Delegations from Chuxioing have visited Diamond Bar expressing their interest in establishing a relationship and they have written the Mayor and DBSC about this several times. The City of Chuxioing also has many similar characteristics to Diamond Bar. For a Chinese City the population is quite small, similar to ours, and the population of theirspear of influence is also about the same size as ours.

We held a meeting, discussed our options and the board unanimously voted to request the Diamond Bar City Council join us in establishing a relationship.
