English (PDF) Español (PDF)

Project Description

The City of Pomona, a vibrant yet walkable community, is currently divided by a high-volume east-west multi-track freight and passenger railroad. These critical corridors deserve the latest active transportation infrastructure, such as enhanced sidewalks and bike lanes through these two key at-grade crossings at Hamilton Boulevard and Park Avenue. 

 The proposed project includes the following transformative improvements: 

• Enhanced Mobility & Accessibility: Improved pedestrian crossings, clear signage, and ADA-compliant ramps at key intersections. 
• Active Transportation: Improved bike lanes and road redesigns to encourage walking and biking. 
•  Pedestrian Infrastructure: New crosswalks, upgraded sidewalks, and better visibility for all users.
• Traffic Control: Advanced traffic signals to improve mobility and accessibility at busy intersections. 

These improvements will not only enhance mobility and accessibility but also promote walkability, cycling, and connectivity, aligning with Pomona's vision for a more accessible and inclusive downtown. 

Project Benefits

The project will significantly improve the safety and connectivity in the city. The upgrade will close a critical north-south bicycle network gap and enhance connectivity between downtown Pomona's Key Destinations such as Western University, the Pomona Arts District and County Services such as low-income housing, elementary schools, community centers and the Pomona Transit Center. The improvements will ultimately enhance mobility and the quality of life for the residents of Pomona and visitors.
