Here are views of some of the traditional neighborhoods surrounding the sbX stations in the City of San Bernardino. While some of them currently have an extensive system of bike lanes and urban trails, more will be added, especially to facilitate movement to and from the sbX stations. Flex cars, like Zipcar, are also anticipated in many locations, including the universities.
While additional infill development is expected in some of these old-housing-stock neighborhoods, especially as part of the "resort district" designation, new traditional-neighborhood-development is anticipated in the Verdemont/Glen Helen area, where one new and large master-planned community already exists and where several million-dollar homes were added during the most recent housing boom. These neighborhoods will be served by the northernmost sbX station, at the Palm Avenue exit to the 215 freeway, where a park-&-ride lot will also be located.
sbX and the revitalization of the city center are also expected to bring about conversion of renter-occupied homes to owner-occupied status while providing an increasing variety of sustainable housing options that meets every need and budget.
Additionally, the sbX stations and the revitalized city center are anticipated to catalyze upgrades and improvements to older homes and/or the clearing of older residential sites for new infill construction.
