Supplemental Historical Resources Evaluation Report IV Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge Project Summary of Findings The San Bernardino County Transportation Agency (SBCTA), in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is proposing to replace the existing Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge (Bridge Number 54C-0066) over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail yard in the City of San Bernardino (City), San Bernardino County (County), California. See Attachment A of the Supplemental Historic Property Survey Report (SHPSR) (Number 2), Figures 1, 2, and 3 for the Project Vicinity Map, Project Location Map, and Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map, respectively. The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a bridge that is structurally safe, meeting current seismic, design, and roadway standards. The purpose of this Supplemental Historical Resources Evaluation Report (SHRER) is to identify built environment cultural resources in the APE and to evaluate them for significance pursuant to the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). Preparation of an HRER was originally completed in August 2001 for the proposed bridge replacement project. The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) concurred with the findings of the 2001 Historic Property Survey Report on March 1, 2002. “Cultural resources,” as used in this document, refers to all historical and archaeological resources, regardless of significance. The term “historic property” is defined in the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as: “any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion on the National Register.” Due to modifications in the bridge design, an SHPSR (Feldman 2007) was prepared, which required changes to the 2001 APE. The results of the 2007 study found that a residence located at 240 North Mount Vernon Avenue that was previously determined eligible for the National Register in 2001 had been demolished in 2003 as a result of a separate action not related to the current undertaking. Documentation relating to the demolition of the historic property was prepared by Caltrans District 8 Cultural Studies staff. No additional properties in the 2006 APE required evaluation. Caltrans approved a Finding of Effect for the undertaking in 2007. Because SHPO did not formally concur with Caltrans’ proposed Adverse Effect finding, Caltrans assumed concurrence and proceed with a Memorandum of Agreement, signed by SHPO in 2009 and later by Caltrans in 2011. Given the length of time since the original 2001 Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) and the first SHPSR, which was signed in 2007, supplemental Section 106 compliance documents are now required. This SHRER has been prepared to take into account proposed improvements/refinements to the project design since the first SHRER in 2007, which requires Supplemental Historical Resources Evaluation Report S-I Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge Project Summary of Findings additional changes to the APE. As part of this SHRER, built environment resources were identified and evaluated for the National Register, as required by Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 800, the regulations for implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (Section 106). This SHRER has been prepared in accordance with the First Amended Programmatic Agreement among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the California Department of Transportation Regarding Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, As It Pertains to the Administration of the Federal-Aid Highway Program in California (Section 106 PA) executed on January 1, 2014. The current investigation resulted in the identification of two previously evaluated historic properties within the APE that were addressed in the previous HPSRs: (1) the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (ATSF) Railway Passenger and Freight Depot (Map Reference Number [MRN] 9), and (2) the Mount Vernon Avenue Bridge (MRN 26). (1) The existing ATSF Depot (Depot) is located west of downtown San Bernardino at 1170 West 3rd Street. The impressive Mission Revival style building (with Moorish influence) was constructed in 1918. In 1975, the Depot was designated a California Point of Historical Interest (CPHI-53). It was later determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register at the local level under Criterion A, for the role the ATSF played in the development of the City and as the headquarters for the

Seccombe, one of the earliest successful desegregation court cases in United States history. The legal challenge was decided in 1944 in the City of San Bernardino, California and desegregated city parks and recreational facilities, specifically the Perris Hill “plunge” or pool. The decision of this case set precedent for other local desegregation challenges, including the much more celebrated Mendez v. Westminster decision in 1947, and eventually had influence on the landmark Supreme Court decision of Brown v.

Like the architect he always wanted to be, physician Sidney R. Gareld spent most of his life designing and building a model of a new kind of health care. Built on the foundations of group practice (as opposed to solo practice), prepayment (as opposed to fee-for-service), and prevention and health promotion (as opposed to sick care only), it was in many ways the opposite, mirror-image of the way health care was nanced and delivered in the rest of America. In partnership with Henry J. Kaiser, one of the great industrialists of the early 20th century, Gareld stood rm against waves of early opposition from mainstream medicine and went on DR. SIDNEY R. GA to build one of the most acclaimed and successful health care organizations in America. This book tells the story of Dr. Sidney Gareld’s long and eventful career in turning his desert dream into a thriving and enduring reality that continues to oer a practical model for the future of American health care.

  • The Program Narrative
    B. Section II: The Program Narrative San Bernardino Valley College Student Success Project 1. San Bernardino’s Successes and Challenges San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC) serves a student population of nearly 27,000, the majority of whom are minorities. Nearly 48% of students identify themselves as Hispanic. A federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution and Minority Serving Institution, the college has considered the issue of effectively serving the large number of diverse students one of its top priorities. To that end, the college currently offers nine programs targeting student success and academic achievement: • Tumaini • The Puente Project • Valley-Bound Commitment • Extended Opportunities Programs and Services (EOP&S) • Success Through Achievement and Retention (STAR) • California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWorks) • Middle College High School (MCHS) • Foster & Kinship Care Education (FKCE) • Math and Science Student Success Center (MSSSC) A number of these programs are well established and have been shown to significantly improve student grades, transfer rates, and graduation rates. The most pressing challenge facing the college, however, is meeting the incredible demand for services while grappling with year-to- year funding cuts as a result of the California state budget crisis. College administrators and student services staff are invested in not only improving existing services, but expanding them, to reach the greatest number of students and to assist them in attaining their educational goals. For this reason, San Bernardino College is applying to be a part of the 2011-2012 Walmart AIHEC HACU NAFEO Student Success Collaborative. For Hispanic students, core values of sharing and networks of relationships are keys to their success and lend themselves well to collaborative and experiential learning settings.
