Innovative CM/GC Delivery Method Used on Upcoming Barton Road Interchange
SBCTA approved a new Construction Agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the I-215 Barton Road Interchange Project. This project proposes to improve traffic operations and reduce traffic congestion on Barton Road and ramp intersections. The project's improvements include replacement of Barton Road overcrossing, reconstruction and widening of Barton Road, realignment of the existing entrance and exit ramps, and traffic signal modifications.
One of the exciting aspects of this project is that it is part of a pilot program in which legislation allows Caltrans to hire a contractor during the design phase and to include the contractor's representatives as part of the project team during the design and right of way phases. This delivery method is known as the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) delivery method and must be led by Caltrans. Having the contractor on board during the project development permits input on the construction staging, materials, the work areas, and risk assessment and management.

Vision2Read Remains Priority in County through Footsteps2Brilliance Initiative
 Footsteps2Brilliance is part of the Countywide Vision to see to every child's success from "Cradle to Career" and specifically to make sure that every child is a proficient reader by 3rd grade. The initiative, which is made possible with funding assistance from First 5 San Bernardino, makes literacy curriculum available to every family in the County on mobile devices that families already own. The curriculum contains more than 1,000 interactive books, songs and games that can be read in either English or Spanish.

This project will construct new ramps and enhance Pepper Avenue at the freeway creating a new gateway to the city from the north.
