Memorandum of Understanding
On Improvement of Transportation Facilities between
SANBAG, ROTC, the County of Riverside, the County of San Bernardino,
and the cities of Colton, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, Moreno Valley, Redlands,
Riverside and San Bernardino
WHEREAS, it is agreed that the need to accommodate additional traffic
growth in the Two-County Corridor study area should be shared among the
jurisdictions along the Riverside/San Bernardino County border, not absorbed by a
single corridor; and
WHEREAS, it is desired to improve traffic circulation, safety, and emergency
access for existing residents within and between communities along the
Riverside/San Bernardino County border within the study area; and
WHEREAS, it is desired to maintain the rural environment of the Reche
Canyon area and other areas of lower density development in the study area; and
WHEREAS, it is desired to respect the concerns of residents and businesses
along any of the corridors between Riverside and San Bernardino Counties; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that widening of 1-215 will not be adequate to
address north/south travel demand between Riverside and San Bernardino Counties;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, SANBAG, RCTC, the County of Riverside, the County of
San Bernardino, and the cities of Colton, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, Moreno
Valley, Redlands, Riverside, and San Bernardino (the "Agencies") agree as follows:
1 . 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.

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.

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.
