Council approves third-phase of city street rehabilitation plan

The San Bernardino City Council continues to make progress on its plan to repave and resurface 53 streets and repair sidewalks throughout the City.

The Council approved the third-phase of the plan earlier this month, awarding a $6.4 million contract to the Matich Corporation. The third-phase will include segments of fourteen streets and ADA accessible ramps, drainage, sidewalk installation, signage, and curb/gutter improvements.

“This is another example of San Bernardino continuing to upgrade our city’s infrastructure,” said City Manager Robert D. Field. “There is a lot more work to do, but our residents are already noticing a difference.”

In 2020 the Public Works Department conducted a pavement management analysis to prioritize the streets in most need of rehabilitation.

Streets to be improved in phase-three are:

• Temple Street – from J Street to Perris Street (Ward 1)
• Acacia Street – from 10th Street to Baseline Street (Ward 2)
• Prospect Avenue – from Congress Street to Flood Control (Ward 3)
• Ralston Avenue – from Mt. View to Waterman Avenue (Ward 4)
• Dover Drive – from Mountain Drive to I Street (Ward 5)
• Meridian Avenue – from Foothill Blvd. to 7^th Street (Ward 6)
• Parkside Avenue – from 30th Street to Parkdale Avenue (Ward 7)
• Congress Street – from Mt. Vernon to K Street (Ward 3)
• Virginia Street – from E Street to F Street and G Street to H Street (Ward 2)
• Niles Street – from San Gabriel Street to Crestview Street (Ward 2)
• Trenton Street – from Crestview Avenue to Valencia Avenue (Ward 2)
• Cedar Street – from Highland Avenue to 29th Street (Ward 2)
• Arden Street – from Highland Avenue to Pacific Street (Wards 2,7)
• Country Club Lane – from Waterman Avenue to Fremontia Drive (Ward 7)

Work on the third-phase will begin in early May and should be completed by October 2022.
