San Bernardino Event using SCAG’s Go Human Kit of Parts

On Saturday, March 19th, 2022, the City of San Bernardino utilized SCAG’s Go Human Kit of Parts to put together a tactical urbanism demonstration in Downtown San Bernardino. The event was a part of the community engagement effort for the City’s General Plan update, San Bernardino 2050: The Future is Ours, and it was held in conjunction with the San Bernardino Arts Fest, a popular local event. The project team engaged with approximately 100 community members, which included many youths. 

The event showcased a creative crosswalk, separated bike lane, parklet, and curb extension. Many, if not all, of the elements were new to the city. The Kit of Parts served as valuable educational tools to teach community members about new pedestrian and bicycle treatments that the City is interested in having.

Vision San Bernardino 2050

The draft Vision Statement for the General Plan Update lays the foundation for the development of goals, policies, and implementation programs of the updated City of San Bernardino General Plan. It is aspirational and ambitious, viewed from the perspective of a resident, business person, or visitor to the City in 2050. It is not a statement about today, but envisions how the City can evolve based on the needs and values of its residents expressed through multiple forums of public conversation and input.
