The Slover Avenue at Linden Avenue Traffic Signal project (Project) is in the San Bernardino County unincorporated area of Bloomington. The area is primarily residential and commercial buildings. During the design process for the traffic signal, it was discovered that water collection causes flooding at the subject intersection. Because of the semi-rural nature of the community, no sufficient drainage system exists to carry runoff away from the community. Thus, the design incorporated an underground catch basin drain at the intersection to collect water overflow to reduce flooding at the intersection. Once the water is collected, the catch basin is designed to allow the water to percolate into the ground.
