e Street Transit Corridor Project
San Bernardino, California

Gruen Associates is currently the architect and landscape architect preparing the design and construction documents for the 15.7 mile Bus Rapid Transit Corridor. Previously, Gruen Associates served as the urban design and station area planning subconsultant on a multidisciplinary team that conducted a Major Investment Study evaluating the corridor for enhanced transit service which included Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and other modes of travel. The E Street Corridor roughly follows the current path of Omnitrans Route 2 from California State University at San Bernardino south through downtown San Bernardino to Hospitality Lane and onto the City of Loma Linda. Gruen Associates prepared GIS analysis of demographics, concept plans and design guidelines for transit-oriented development, linkage concepts, design plans for stations, and land use/urban design/environmental evaluations of each alternative. The project received a 2006 Advocacy Planning Award from the American Planning Association, Inland Empire Section.
