About [Edit]
The Community Redevelopment Alliance of San Bernardino (CRA) is a non-profit 501 c3 organization formed as a cooperative effort between the Wildwood Park, Arrowhead Suburban Farms, and Kendall Hills Neighborhood Cluster Associations in San Bernardino. We are working together in beautification and revitalization projects in our community.
One of these projects is an ambitious proposal to improve the old railroad right-of-way on Electric Avenue (Pacific Electric Arrowhead Hot Springs Line)with a landscaped greenbelt and historic site. We are suggesting the name “Electric Avenue Heritage Park,” for the future park, as it will not only represent the history of the railway, but will also reflect the rich and fascinating overall history of our community - which includes tales of early settlers to our area, and Native American and pioneer legends of the famous mark of the arrowhead.
The new park will dramatically improve the area – transforming an unsightly, barren strip of land into a beautiful area of grass and trees that will be pleasant to see and walk along every day. The park will include a pathway from 40th Street to Northpark Boulevard, and this will greatly improve safety, especially where Hillside Elementary School students cross at 50th Street. Today, sidewalks are severely lacking along Electric Avenue and something must be done. A greenbelt may be the solution we need.
The project continues to gain wide support from local residents and the City of San Bernardino. It will be a long-term effort, but we are working hard to one day make this dream a reality.
