BACKGROUND: San Bernardino County Transportation Commission (SANBAG) in conjunction with Caltrans and the Cities of Colton and Grand Terrace will undertake improvements to the Barton Road Interchange on Interstate 215 (1 -215) located in the City of Grand Terrace and partially in the City of Colton. This project, known as the 1 -215 Barton Road Interchange, includes bridge improvements, realignment of on -ramps and off -ramps and modifications to local streets. Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) owns and operates a 48 -inch water transmission pipeline that crosses 1- 215 near this project and is in conflict with the proposed off -ramp improvements. On March 14, 2016, the Board of Public Utilities recommended that the City Council approve Utility Agreement No. 23786 (Agreement) with SANBAG for the pipeline relocation work. City Council subsequently approved the Agreement during their meeting on April 19, 2016. The terms of the Agreement stipulate that SANBAG will reimburse RPU for the pipeline relocation costs.
