San Bernardino, CA 9241 0-1 71 5 SUBJECT Redlands Passenger Rail Project (RPRP) Section 4(f) Determinations for City-Owned Park and Recreation Resources, Including Sylvan Park Dear Mr Ramirez On December 27, 2017, the City of Redlands received a letter from the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority requesting written concurrence with an updated Section 4(f) determination for a minor encroachment at the southeastern corner of Sylvan Park as part of the Redlands Passenger Rail Project (project) We understand that the project has advanced to the 100 percent design stage and a temporary construction easement (TCE) will be required at Sylvan Park to facilitate project construction As stated in your letter, the approved project contemplated minor physical encroachments into the southwest and southeastern corners of Sylvan Park The minor refinements to the project's design at University Street would require an additional 793 square feet at the southeastern corner beyond that noted in the Final EIS to facilitate the placement of a sidewalk and ramp, thereby totaling 1,533 square feet We understand the improvements will be contained within an easement and no property acquisition will be required In addition to the temporary encroachment at sylvan Park, we understand the final design for the project includes a center median in University Street that extends north of the railroad and will result in a net loss of seven on-street parking spaces In the interim, existing parking at the main lot off Park Avenue will compensate for this loss The City agrees that the improvement project at University Street combined with the new parking offered at the university of Redlands Station will compensate for the loss of parking over the long term Similar to the approved project, the refined project would result in a temporary occupancy of Sylvan Park for roadway improvements The temporary occupancy would be extended an additional 793 square feet, as required for the proposed 100 percent design Once constructed the Project refinements would be contained within a permanent easement on City property Parking lost in University Street will have no adverse effect on the park The City has reviewed the potential effects of the refined project at Sylvan Park and we concur that the project will not adversely affect the activities, features, or attributes that snake Sylvan Park eligible for Section 4(f) protection We agree that the refined project will have a de minimis impact on this recreational resource If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office at(909)798-7533 Thank you, Paul W.
