Pacific Electric Trail
Pacific Electric Trail Fontana, Seven Year Budget California 2009/2010 A City of Action 2015/2016 ABOUT THE COVER For the City of Fontana’s Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Adopted Capital Improvement Program, a cover highlighting “the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail” is featured. The Pacific Electric Trail (PE Trail) is proposed as a 20 mile, regional, multi-purpose trail extending from Claremont, through Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, and Rialto. The trail was adopted by all the cities it traverses to promote non-motorized travel and other clean air programs. The Master Plan has been completed, and the individual cities have been implementing their respective portions of the PE Trail. Approximately 6.5 miles of the PE Trail traverses through Fontana. As shown on the map below, the City has divided the PE Trail Segment 5B 6.5 miles of PE Trail into six major segments. The existing abandoned railroad right-of-way, on which the PE Trail is located, is 80 feet wide and is consistent throughout each segment. The southerly 35 feet is dedicated to the multi-purpose trail which will consist of a 15 foot wide concrete paved walking/jogging/bike path and landscaping. The northerly 45 feet of that right-of-way is reserved for future rail considerations however, the area may also be landscaped. Four years ago Segment 1 of the PE Trail, a .75 mile segment through the downtown and Civic Center area, was completed. Segment 5A, a .43 mile segment in the Village of Heritage, was completed shortly thereafter. In January 2009 Segment 2, approximately .94 of a mile running from Juniper Ave to Tokay Ave, was completed.
