The City is committed to enhancing and beautifying the Chino Hills Parkway corridor by installing vinyl fencing, similar to the fencing used along the equestrian trails. This initiative aims to improve the aesthetic appeal and cohesion of the area, stretching from Market Place to Ramona Avenue. The project involves the installation of approximately 800 linear feet of vinyl fencing, which will not only enhance the visual character of the south side of Chino Hills Parkway but also help integrate the area with the surrounding community.
The total cost of the project is estimated to be up to $85,000, which covers the installation at a rate of $96 per linear foot, as well as project management, inspection services, and any unforeseen contingencies.
To proceed with the project, the City submitted an encroachment permit application to Caltrans on October 10, 2023. Caltrans has reviewed the proposal, and before issuing the permit, they require the City to enter into a Project Specific Maintenance Agreement. This agreement outlines the maintenance responsibilities for the project, as detailed in Caltrans' Project Development Procedures Manual, Chapter 29, Guidelines for Transportation Act, Community Identification, and Gateway Monuments. Under this agreement, the City will assume responsibility for maintaining the fence, including removing any graffiti and controlling weeds within two feet of the fence line.
