SUBJECT: Active Transportation Plan Discussion
[Document Description]
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is a document that provides a comprehensive set of projects, programs, and policies that aim to increase the proportion of trips made in a community using active transportation, or non-motorized modes of transportation, primarily biking and walking.
The City of Bakersfield's Active Transportation Plan (ATP) aims to create safer and more enjoyable streets for residents and visitors by providing a long -term vision for a citywide network of dedicated, safe, and accessible biking and walking corridors. The ATP focuses on expanding and enhancing existing infrastructure to better serve those who rely on active transportation while encouraging people to choose biking and walking to complete short trips within their communities.
In addition to improving mobility and safety by expanding and enhancing infrastructure serving active transportation, this ATP seeks to advance City and statewide goals related to public health, equity, and environmental protection.
The recommendations produced within the ATP were developed based on a detailed review of planning and policy documents guiding transportation and land use within the City and region and a careful analysis of existing biking and walking conditions within the City, combined with input from community members and key stakeholders. The projects recommended within the ATP can be directly incorporated into the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and implemented using discretionary funds, developer requirements, or incorporated into grant funding applications.
The Bakersfield ATP is organized into the following chapters:
Introduction – provides background on active transportation planning and concepts, establishes a vision, goals, and objectives for the plan, and outlines the study process. Bakersfield Today – summarizes existing conditions within the City and findings that guided the development of recommended projects and programs.
Community Engagement – provides an overview of public outreach efforts and feedback. Recommendations – presents recommended bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects and programs.
Implementation – examines the process for prioritizing projects and establishes a funding plan and implementation strategies.
Appendices
Existing Conditions Report – assesses existing conditions related to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, City programs and policies, demographics, equity and environmental factors, and current patterns of activity.
Conformance with Caltrans ATP Guidelines – outlines conformance with state guidance on the development of Active Transportation Plans.
Public Outreach – provides input received from the public during the community engagement process.
Roadway Typologies – provides cross-sections with recommended roadway configurations for implementing different bicycle facility types along different roadway classes.
Wayfinding Signage – provides recommendations for signage along bicycle and pedestrian corridors
