West Colton Study - 3 - March 17, 1.9hcS Proposed Circulation The Circulation Element of the Comprehensive General, .Plan designates7V;l:ey Boulevard and Pepper Avenue as major thorough- fares, Valley is currently at the designed width and Pepper is scheduled for construction in the 1967 calendar year. Randall, San Bernardino, and C Streets are now designated as secondary streets?, Meridian, Laurel east of Pepper, and a portion of C Street are designated as collector. or .industrial streets. 0 To fully open the land for development, a system of collector 0 and -industrial streets must be established to adequately carry ' 13.1 traffic to ari from the major streets and freeway„ Areas of more ntensified development will logically warrant more streets of,a GJ greater width, than the local type of street; such as the area from Valley north to C. The establishment of these east-west streets is 4-1 necessary to carry the traffic from the major and secondary routes, 4-1 to the property, with as much ease and as little congestion as it possible.. The extensions of Laurel, Randall. and Cypress are necessary . to connect the major roads together,. Laurel would then tie Mt. Vernon with Pepper, providing, along with Randall, cross town routes. Randall will extend easterly to the San Bernardino Freeway an. and westerly to Rialto and Fontana Cities. Cypress will connect Valley with Mill, providing residential traffic with quick access to the intercity major highways Proposed Land Use The area south of the San Bernardino Freeway and west. of Rancho.is firmly established as heavy industrial use with the cement plant, pipeline, and railroad car repairing.. The area is ideally suited for this type, which requires large acreage, as the land is adjacent to major transportation facilities, railroad frontage, the land is flat and has a poor quality of soil for agricultural uses, Nearby is the Santa Ana River basin which is necessary to accommodate sewerage disposal from large processing or manufacturing concerns. North of the freeway along Hermosa Avenue is the site of new Southern Pacific rail facilities from this spur track esterty to the golf course and from the freeway north to C Street the area is ideally suited for uban servtces. These uses include, warehousing, storage, • distribution, sales, and uses related to both the Urban and Industrail Areas,. This area provides the necessary transportation facilities for efficient handling of goods and it is centerally located and easily accessable„ The area westerly along Valley Boulevard is ideal, for heavy commercial and highway services.. The intersection of Pepper and the freeway will most logically develop to tourist related faciiities, and the small, but accessable lots between Valley Boulevard and the freeway will develop to sales and distribution uses.
