Development of roadway facilities will proceed in parallel on two corridors: a. Center Street/Main Street/Pigeon Pass Corridor - extends from 1-215 generally along Center Street or Main Street and proceeds easterly/southerly to connect to Pigeon Pass Road in Moreno Valley b. Reche Canyon Road Corridor - extends from Washington Street in Colton along Reche Canyon Road to connect to Reche Vista Drive north of Moreno Valley 2. An interagency group of elected officials (the Two-County Corridor Policy Committee) will monitor progress and provide guidance on project development activities for both routes, meeting on an as-needed basis. Page 1 of 5 MOU Improvement of Transportation Facilities 3. The following Agencies will serve as lead agencies for the corridors: a. RCTC and SANBAG will be the respective lead agency in each county for coordination and oversight of the corridor development activities including the Agencies. b. Reche Canyon Road Corridor — The County of Riverside will be the Contract Manager for the preparation of an environmental document and project development work for the entire corridor. The County of Riverside will be the lead agency for the processing of the environmental document for the portion of Reche Canyon within Riverside County. The City of Colton will be the lead agency for the processing of the environmental document for the portion within San Bernardino County. The County of Riverside and the City of Colton will enter into an agreement addressing the City's financial contribution towards the project development and environmental work. C. Center Street/Main Street/Pigeon Pass Corridor — The County of Riverside will be the Contract Manager for the preparation of an environmental document for the entire corridor. The County of Riverside will be the lead agency for the processing of the environmental document and project development work for the portion of Center Street/Main Street/Pigeon Pass Corridor within Riverside County. If additional widening is required in the portion of San Bernardino County, the City of Grand Terrace will be the lead agency for processing of an environmental document for the portion within San Bernardino County. 4. The Agencies agree to pursue the project development and environmental work on both corridors simultaneously, under separate documents. The County of Riverside as the Contract Manager agrees to provide status reports to the Two-County Corridor Committee and all other agencies on a quarterly basis. 5. Each Agency will be responsible for the design and construction of its own segments, unless alternate agreements are reached among individual Agencies. 6. The following design principles will generally govern project development activities for each of the corridors. a. All facilities will consist of four through lanes, with a landscaped median in urbanized areas, and turn lanes at appropriate locations. Page 2 of 5 MOU Improvement of Transportation Facilities b. Principles of "context-sensitive design" will be used in all corridors. Preserving the rural environment of Reche Canyon will be a high priority. Considerations will include curb treatments, landscaping, design speed, lighting, signalization, wildlife crossings, trails and pathways. C. Each Agency will control the access, landscaping and other aesthetic requirements of the facility within its jurisdiction, guided by these overall design principles. 7. An effective outreach and citizen input process will be undertaken in both corridors as part of the project development and environmental process. The Agencies affected by each corridor will determine the form of outreach most appropriate for that corridor and advise the County of Riverside as the Contract Manager. This may take the form of public meetings, newsletters, city council presentations, citizen advisory committees, or other techniques appropriate to the issues within each corridor.
