Honorable Mayor and Members
of the Newman City Council
Agenda Item: 9.a.

City Council Meeting
of February 24, 2026

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE AUTOMATIC ANNUAL INFLATION ADJUSTMENT FOR CAPITAL FACILITY AND IMPACT FEES FOR THE PERIOD OF MARCH 1, 2026 THROUGH FEBRUARY 28, 2027
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Conduct a Public Hearing

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2026- authorizing the Automatic Annual Inflation Adjustment for Capital Facility and Impact Fees for the Period of March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027.

BACKGROUND:

In April 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2002-22 approving the comprehensive update of Capital Facility and Impact Fees. The resolution provides for the automatic adjustment of the fees based on current construction indexes for the area. The following information is presented to the Council for review and approval.

ANALYSIS:

The City of Newman is considered a part of the Engineering News-Record's (ENR) San Francisco region. The 2025 ENR CCI inflation index for this region from Dec 2024 to Dec 2025 is a positive 2.87%; last year the CCI decreased -0.7%. This increase has been applied to the Capital Facility and Impact Fees to originate new rates for the period of March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adjusted rates will increase development fees due at time of development. For example, a single-family (1 ,000 to 1,999 sq. ft.) residential unit will go from $28,022.18 to $28,826.42 in impact fees. The percentage adjustment in fees applies to all development types; business park, commercial, industrial and residential.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2026-, authorizing the Automatic Annual Inflation Adjustment for Capital Facility and Impact Fees for the period of March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027. Upon approval, adjusted Fees will be initiated on March 1, 2026 and notices will be forwarded to the BIA.

Engineering News-Record
City Cost Index - San Francisco - As of January 2026
The building and construction cost indexes for ENR's individual cities use the same components and weighting as those for the 20-city national indexes. The city indexes use local prices for portland cement and 2 X 4 lumber and the national average price for structural steel. The city's BCI uses local union wages, plus fringes, for carpenters, bricklayers and iron workers. The city's CCI uses the same union wages for laborers.

To find more recent cost index data, go to this webpage (link below) and click on the link for the year you need, and then navigate to the week you need. Keep in mind that the city cost index figures are always published in the second weekly issue of the month. http://www.enr.com/economics/current costs

City Council Meeting
of February 24, 2026
ADOPT MIDYEAR BUDGET CHANGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2026- , approving the midyear budget changes for fiscal year 2025-2026.

BACKGROUND:

It is customary for municipalities, midway through their fiscal year, to review their original budgeted revenue and expense projections. December 31 st is the midway point of our fiscal year. Revenues and expenditures were analyzed for the 6-month period ending December 31, 2025.

ANALYSIS:

Exhibits A & B compare the budgeted revenues and expenditures to actual amounts received and spent through December 31, 2025 halfway through our fiscal year. Revenues and expenditures do not arrive in 1/12 amounts each month. In Exhibit A, total General Fund Revenues collected are at 25 .6% of budget, and revenues for all funds are at 24.3%. More revenues are typically collected in the second half of the year. In Exhibit B, General Fund expenditures at December 31, 2025 are at 46.9% of budget and expenditures for all funds are at 23 .3%.

To prepare the proposed adjustments, revenue and expenditure line items were analyzed and discussed with the City Manager, the various department heads, and their staff. Exhibits C & D contain the proposed revenue and expenditure budget adjustments by line item. The last column of Exhibit E shows the projected fund balances at June 30, 2026. It should be noted that the original budget, approved last June, only had estimated beginning fund balances; but, at this point, we have and use, actual/audited beginning fund balances to project our ending fund balances.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Exhibit C shows there are a few changes to the General Fund revenue projections. Our Newman Volunteer Firefighters went to aid on two Cal FIRE wildfire events and we were reimbursed for their work. Also, we were awarded a Federal Grant for Safe Streets and Road which we are adding to our mid-year budget.

Exhibit D shows the detail of the expenditure budget adjustments totaling $286,300 in General Fund expenditures and $292,886 in other fund expenditures. The notable changes to the General Fund are the Cal FIRE wildfire reimbursable events, additional legal costs, the conversion of an Office Assistant to an Assistant planner, and the conversion of a Sergeant to a Lieutenant position. The notable changes to the other funds are the budgeting of the Federal Grant for Streets and Roads.

In our General Fund, at the beginning of the budget year, we projected expenditures to exceed revenues by $770,683. At this mid-year review, we project a expenditures to exceed revenues by only $277,445 inclusive of the recommended budget changes. Of that amount we spent $398,000 on equipment and $70,000 on unexpected legal fees for a total of $468,000. Some years we build up reserves and some years we spend some of that reserve to replace our capital items.

CONCLUSION:

Exhibit E is a projection of the ending fund balances of all funds. Funds typically should have a positive balance.

All of our funds are projected to have positive ending balances with the exception of Fund 20 - CDBG, Fund 68 - Business License Surcharge, and Fund 69 - LLD. Fund 20 expends funds prior to reimbursement; it typically has a negative balance. The Business License Surcharge fund will return to positive during the 2026/27 fiscal year.

Fund 69 can make adjustments to payroll allocations in 2026/27 to keep expenditures below revenue receipts.

The midyear budget review projects a General Fund ending balance of $3.,407,832; a decrease of $277,445 for the 2025-26 fiscal year. This will put us with a 43.7% General Fund reserve. The City has strong reserves and remains in good financial health.

of February 24, 2026

ADOPT THE CITY OF NEWMAN T STREET CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT AND

COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Newman City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-, adopting the City of Newman T Street Corridor Improvement and Community Connectivity Plan.

BACKGROUND:

In summer of 2023, the City of Newman was awarded a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Competitive Grant. The grant funded the study and development of a T Street Corridor Improvement and Community Connectivity Plan (T Street Corridor Plan) and redesign of T Street.

T Street was found to be essential and critical in creating safer school routes as it is a primary route for students traveling between neighborhoods and schools. Today, T Street lacks sidewalks, dedicated bicycle facilities, and other infrastructure needed to support safe and comfortable multimodal travel.

To complete the T Street Corridor Plan, the City of Newman contracted Toole Design Group, LLC. City In the fall of 2023, staff and Tool Design began with a comprehensive, data collection and visioning phase that led up to an existing conditions analysis centered around T Street. From 2023 to 2025, Toole Design and City Staff conducted engagement activities to gain community insight and preferences on the redesign ofT Street and other related corridors.

ANALYSIS:

During the information-gathering phase of the study, Toole Design assembled a list of existing conditions that emphasized both the strengths and challenges of the City's transportation network and public realm. With this assessment, a list of needs and opportunities were identified to support the goals of connectivity, access, and safety.

Although T Street was identified as the key focus of the T Street Corridor Plan, Toole Design also recognized Hardin Road, Yolo Street, Inyo Avenue, and Canal School Road as additional corridors that were important to community mobility due to their strong connections to T Street and the future Nature Park.

Across the project corridors, roadway space is largely prioritized for vehicles, with sidewalks that are narrow or absent; minimal and unprotected bike lanes; and inconsistent crosswalks. Each of the corridors are frequently used by students and families traveling to and from school, yet many sections are missing essential pedestrian infrastructure and low-stress bicycle facilities. Early community feedback and on-site observations highlighted concerns about speeding vehicles, uncomfortable walking conditions, and insufficient separation from traffic for people biking.

As for opportunities, the city's compactness supports walking and biking, with schools, parks, downtown, and other daily destinations located close to-or directly along-the project corridors, reinforcing an established culture of active transportation. Key routes such as T Street feature generous curb-to-curb widths and right-of-way, offering opportunities to reconfigure roadway space, fill network gaps, and install protected bikeways and continuous sidewalks.

Community engagement played a crucial role in shaping the T Street Corridor Plan and directly influenced the final design concepts for each corridor. Feedback collected through surveys, community events, a three-day design charrette, advisory group meetings, and continued coordination with City staff guided major design decisions and ensured the recommended improvements align with the needs and priorities of Newman residents.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total T Street Corridor and Community Connectivity Plan project cost was $313,496. The City received $277,539 from the Caltrans grant and had a local match requirement of 11.47%, or $35,957. The local match will come out of the Local Transportation Fund.

Agenda Item: 10.b.

CONCLUSION:

The T Street Corridor and Community Connectivity Plan (T Street Corridor Plan) is centered around three key goals - connectivity, access, and safety - which establish a clear direction for investments along T Street and other key project corridors. The T Street Corridor Plan's recommendations and preliminary design concepts for T Street and other key project corridors align with the City's current plans, policies, and all-around goals. The proposed T Street design and corridor improvements will allow the City of Newman to create a safer, more accessible, and more continuous pedestrian and bicycle network connecting schools, parks, and neighborhoods.

In 2023, the City of Newman received a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant to develop the T Street Corridor Improvement and Community Connectivity Plan (Plan) and develop conceptual designs for a reimagined T Street. T Street is a critical corridor and one of the primary routes for students traveling between neighborhoods and schools. Today, it lacks sidewalks and other infrastructure needed to support safe and comfortable multimodal travel. Improving T Street is essential to creating safer school routes, strengthening community connectivity, and supporting active transportation across Newman. Although T Street is the central focus of this planning and design effort, Hardin Road, Yolo Street, Inyo Avenue, and Canal School Road are also included because of their importance to community mobility and their strong connections to T Street.

Study Area
The Plan focuses on the full extent of T Street from Inyo Avenue to Yolo Street and includes design concepts and considerations for the following corridors:
‚ Hardin Road, from Yolo Street to the north Hardin Road terminus ‚ Yolo Street, from T Street to N Street
‚ Inyo Avenue, from the west end of Yolo Junior High School to Canal School Road ‚ Canal School Road, from East Inyo Avenue to Hills Ferry Road Citywide Loop
When viewed collectively, the project corridors
present the opportunity to define a citywide loop
of connected low-stress bicycle and pedestrian
facilities (see Chapter 7), offering secondary but
long-term benefit. NORTH

Goals and Design Objectives
The T Street Corridor Improvement and
Community Connectivity Plan is guided by a
clear set of goals with corresponding objectives
and design principles. Together, they establish
the direction for investments along Newman’s
T Street and key project corridors. Shaped by
community priorities and grounded in previous
City planning efforts, these goals, objectives,
and principles form the framework that directly
informs the Plan’s design recommendations.

Goals
The Plan’s three key goals reflect feedback
collected from Newman residents and build upon
objectives of previous City-led planning efforts:

CONNECTIVITY: Strengthen connections to
community destinations, including schools, parks,
Downtown, the Newman Environmental Wetland
System (NEWS) project, and future development
and recreational opportunities.

ACCESS: Expand options for people to access
community destinations by modes other than
personal motor vehicles.

SAFETY: Prioritize safe options for people of all
ages and abilities walking, biking, rolling, and
using transit to get around Newman.

Design Objectives
The existing conditions assessment and corridor concept development were guided by a design and evaluation framework grounded in community input, outcomes from related planning efforts (see Previous Plans section below), and the City’s overarching goals. The Plan’s recommendations and preliminary design concepts for T Street and other key project corridors are intended to:
• Rebalance the roadway to address
transportation challenges, reduce
speeding, and improve connectivity for
people walking, biking, rolling, riding
transit, and driving.
• Support active transportation and mode
shift by creating low-stress walking and
bicycling routes that connect homes,
schools, parks, and Downtown.
• Strengthen the public realm by creating
more welcoming, human-scale streets
with opportunities for gathering, rest,
and social interaction.
• Design for safety, comfort, and
accessibility for everyone using the
corridors, including school-aged children,
older adults, and people with disabilities.
• Integrate placemaking and identity,
drawing on the character of Downtown and
Main Street to enhance the look and feel of
other corridors.
• Incorporate green infrastructure and
urban forestry where feasible to manage
stormwater, provide shade, reduce heat,
and enhance the visual quality of the
streetscape.
• Align with City plans and policies
including the General Plan, Non-Motorized
Transportation Plan, Highway 33 Specific
Plan, and other adopted documents.

These objectives provide the bridge between community-driven goals and the technical design choices made for T Street and key project corridors.
6 | Introduction and Project Purpose
Plan Process
The planning process began with a comprehensive information-gathering and visioning phase that culminated in an existing conditions analysis. Findings from the analysis, along with input from community engagement activities, informed the preliminary design concepts. The design phase then incorporated further community engagement, feedback from City of Newman staff, and revisions to the draft concepts. Both the draft and final plan provided additional opportunities for community feedback and refinement of the design concepts.

Previous Plans
The City of Newman has several existing plans
and policies related to multimodal transportation,
placemaking, and corridor design, all of which
helped inform this Plan. Across these documents,
there is a consistent call to improve safety,
accessibility, and connections for people walking
and biking.

Plans such as the General Plan (2007), NonMotorized Transportation Plan (2012), and StanCOG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan
(2021) emphasize creating a safer, more
connected network to schools, parks, and
Downtown. Others, including the Northwest
Newman Master Plan (2017) and Highway 33
Specific Plan Update (2022), highlight corridors
like Hardin Road, Inyo Avenue, and State Route 33
as priorities for bicycle and pedestrian upgrades.

Recent efforts including the Urban Forestry
Management Plan (2025) and the draft Road
Safety Action Plan reinforce the importance of
tree canopy, green infrastructure, and safety
improvements, especially near schools and
high-collision areas. Together, these plans point to
the need for a more connected, comfortable, and
resilient transportation system as Newman grows.

Plans and policy documents
reviewed include:
‚ Newman 2030 General Plan (2007)
‚ Newman Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (2012)
‚ Northwest Newman Master Plan (2017)
‚ StanCOG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (2021)
‚ Newman Community Conservation Area Plan (2021)
‚ Highway 33 Specific Plan Update (2022)

Existing Conditions
2 Overview
This existing conditions assessment identifies
how community members, particularly schoolaged children, pedestrians, and cyclists, navigate through T Street and key project corridors. This
analysis informed the development of specific
design recommendations.

Located in Stanislaus County in the San Joaquin
Valley, Newman is a relatively compact, flat
community centered on State Route 33, which
runs through town, and Interstate 5 about five
miles to the west. The city’s historic Main Street
and surrounding agricultural landscape shape
everyday travel. Newman’s grid and level terrain
make walking and biking practical, especially for
short trips to schools, parks, and downtown, but
the highway’s fast traffic and heavy regional and
agricultural travel can act as a divider between
neighborhoods. Because daily destinations
are close together and the city is bordered
by farmland, safe crossings and comfortable
north–south and east–west routes are especially
important for strengthening local connectivity.

Bicycle and
Pedestrian Facilities
Bike and pedestrian facilities vary considerably
throughout Newman and across the project
corridors. Among the project corridors, dedicated
bicycle facilities are only provided on T Street
and portions of Yolo Street, where bike lanes
are present but unprotected and do not continue
through intersections.

Bike facilities also exist elsewhere across the
city on Merced Street, Hills Ferry Road, Kern
Street, Driskell Avenue, S Street, Yolo Street,
Balsam Drive, Park Circle, Canyon Creek Drive,
and Sherman Parkway. Notably, Kern Street
and Merced Street intersect with T Street and
include Class II bike lanes. These corridors
provide key access between Newman’s western
neighborhoods and the historic Main Street/
Downtown area.

T Street illustrates both the opportunities and
gaps that characterize existing conditions. It is
a wide, tree-lined, two-way corridor with bike
lanes and parking on both sides, providing enough
right-of-way to serve multiple modes. However,
sidewalks exist only along a short stretch south
of Orestimba Road, and there are very few curb
ramps or marked crosswalks. Conditions on the
remaining corridors are similarly uneven.

Where sidewalks are present, they are often
narrow or discontinuous, particularly on Yolo
Avenue and Inyo Avenue, creating gaps in the
pedestrian network. Intersection treatments
also vary: some locations include curb ramps
and marked crosswalks, while others do not,
resulting in inconsistent crossing conditions
and accessibility. Overall, the limited and
discontinuous nature of existing walking and
biking facilities points to opportunities to improve
connectivity and comfort along the corridors.

Roadway Allocation
Across all project corridors, the amount of
roadway space currently allocated to motor
vehicles is high. In contrast, the share of
dedicated roadway space for bicyclists ranges
from 0% to 24%, and only two of the five corridors
have dedicated space for bicyclists. Existing wide
travel lanes and other vehicle-oriented design
features indicate there is potential to reallocate
space to better support walking and bicycling.

Similarly, dedicated pedestrian space ranges
from 1% to 26% across the project corridors, and
only four of the five corridors have sidewalks.

This imbalance highlights opportunities to
rebalance the right-of-way to provide safer, more
continuous, and more comfortable facilities for
people walking and biking.

Bike and Pedestrian
Experience
The availability and quality of pedestrian and
bicycle facilities shape how community members
move through Newman. Sidewalks along the
project corridors are intermittent, with frequent
gaps, missing segments, and some areas with no
sidewalks at all. As a result, people often walk
and bike in undesignated spaces, such as walking
in the roadway or bicycling on sidewalks, which
reduces comfort, predictability, and safety. This is
especially true on T Street, where higher vehicle
speeds cause some people to avoid the bike lanes
and ride on the sidewalk. Inconsistent facilities
across corridors limit the network’s usability,
particularly for children, older adults, and less
confident riders, pointing to opportunities for
a more continuous system of sidewalks and
bikeways supported by intersection upgrades,
traffic calming, and vehicle speed management.

As part of the existing conditions analysis, an
online survey was conducted in February 2023.

Results showed that active transportation plays a
major role in daily travel, with 70% of respondents
selecting walking and 40% selecting bicycling as
a primary mode (respondents could choose more
than one). T Street is used mainly for recreational
walking and trips to school, yet community
members identified high vehicle speeds and
missing sidewalks as the biggest barriers to
using the corridor for walking and biking daily.

Respondents noted that slower traffic and
improved facilities, including continuous
sidewalks, safer crosswalks, better bicycle
infrastructure, and lighting, would make the
corridors safer and more comfortable for people
walking, rolling, biking, or using transit. Field
observations reinforced these findings. Students
were consistently seen walking in the roadway
on T Street and Hardin Road, key routes the local
elementary, middle, and high schools. Cyclists
were also observed riding on sidewalks and
using crosswalks to avoid traffic on corridors
without bike lanes. Together, findings point to
opportunities for a more complete multimodal
network, including filling sidewalk and bikeway
gaps and incorporating traffic calming measures
such as curb extensions or bulb-outs, speed
humps, and other design treatments to reduce
speeds and help improve safety and comfort.

Crossing Experience
Crossing intersections is a key part of the
walking and biking environment on the project
corridors. Conditions are inconsistent, with
some intersections providing curb ramps and
marked crosswalks while others do not. Many
intersections lack marked crossings altogether,
including along T Street, reducing visibility and
clarity for both people crossing and drivers.

Wide roadways also create long crossing
distances and greater exposure to traffic. These
conditions highlight opportunities for targeted
upgrades, including ADA compliant curb ramps,
curb extensions to shorten crossings, and high
visibility crosswalk markings to improve safety
and comfort. Map of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities along the project corridors, with a photo callout legend highlighting observations of the crossing experience Bus Stop

Transit
Newman is served by Stanislaus Regional Transit
Authority’s (SRTA) Route 45. There are six stops
in Newman, three of which are within one block
of the project corridors, and buses run every
hour to Crows Landing, Patterson, and Turlock.

The route operates along much of T Street, with
a stop located just off T Street at Kern Street.

Inyo Avenue also has two existing stops, at
Sydney Avenue and Moreno Avenue. Because
many residents rely on transit for regional travel,
improving pedestrian and bicycle access to these
stops is critical for supporting mobility options
beyond driving.

Public Realm
Placemaking
Newman’s historic Main Street serves as a clear
example of how placemaking can enhance user
experience citywide. The corridor’s pedestrianfriendly scale, cohesive streetscape elements, and consistent furnishing and signage palette
demonstrate how thoughtful design can reinforce
community identity and create welcoming public
spaces.

As Newman considers improvements along the
project corridors, Main Street provides a model
for extending placemaking beyond downtown by
drawing on the city’s authentic character and local
context. Placemaking in Newman should reflect the
city’s small-community aesthetic and be durable
and appropriately scaled, so enhancements feel
natural to the quieter residential setting while still
strengthening comfort, identity, and pride along
everyday walking and biking routes.

Existing character and placemaking elements on Main Street. 22 | Existing Conditions
Landscaping and
Green Infrastructure
T Street, Hardin Road, Yolo Street, and Inyo
Street include intermittent mature trees along
the corridor in both the public and private realm.

As project recommendations are implemented,
existing trees in good health should be preserved
wherever feasible and thoughtfully integrated
into final cross-sections. Establishing more
continuous street tree plantings can build on
the corridors’ current canopy, strengthen shade
coverage, provide heat-adaptation benefits, and
enhance overall streetscape character.

There are also opportunities to incorporate bulbouts and other traffic calming features that slow vehicle speeds, shorten pedestrian crossings, and
create space for stormwater-treating landscape
areas. These corridors present additional
opportunities to address issues like flooding
through green infrastructure such as bioretention
planters, enhanced drainage features, and
integrated stormwater management strategies.

Together, these improvements can manage and
treat stormwater, enhance the beauty and vitality
of Newman’s streets, and support long-term
climate resilience.

---------
Summary of Needs and Opportunities
This existing conditions assessment highlights
both the strengths of Newman’s transportation
network and public realm, as well as the
challenges this Plan seeks to address.

Across all project corridors, most roadway space
is currently dedicated to vehicles with narrow
or missing sidewalks, limited and unprotected
bike lanes, and inconsistent crosswalks. T Street,
Hardin Road, Yolo Street, Inyo Avenue, and Canal
School Road are all heavily used by students and
families traveling to school, yet many segments
lack basic pedestrian infrastructure and lowstress bicycle facilities. Preliminary community input and field observations confirmed concerns
about speeding, uncomfortable walking
environments, and a lack of separation from
traffic for people biking.

At the same time, Newman has strong assets
and clear opportunities to build upon. The
city is compact and naturally walkable and
bikeable, with schools, parks, downtown, and
other everyday destinations located near, or
directly along, the project corridors, reinforcing
an existing culture of walking and biking. Key
corridors such as T Street also benefit from wide
curb-to-curb and right-of-way, creating room to
reallocate roadway space, close network gaps,
and add protected bikeways and continuous
sidewalks. Main Street and Downtown already
demonstrate a more pedestrian-oriented, humanscale design that can be adapted and extended to other parts of the city.

Taken together, these findings point to clear
needs and opportunities:
• Improve basic walking and biking infrastructure
along key school and neighborhood corridors, including
sidewalks, crossings, and low-stress bikeways.
• Reduce vehicle speeds and enhance safety, especially
on routes heavily used by students.
• Fill gaps in the active transportation network to
create continuous, connected corridors that link homes, schools, parks, and Downtown.
• Enhance the public realm and sense of place outside
of Downtown by incorporating streetscape elements,
shade, and small gathering spaces
• Integrate landscaping and green infrastructure trees
to manage stormwater, reduce heat, and improve
comfort
and aesthetics.

These needs and opportunities directly informed the
corridor design concepts in Chapters 4 and 5 and support the Plan’s goals of connectivity, access, and safety.

Community Engagement
3 Engagement
Summary
Community engagement was critical to the
development of the Plan and directly shaped the
final design outcomes for each corridor. Input
gathered through surveys, community events,
a three-day design charrette, advisory group
meetings, and ongoing coordination with City
staff informed key design decisions and ensured
the recommended concepts reflect the needs and
priorities of Newman residents. A project website
was maintained throughout the process hosting
key deliverables, sharing information on upcoming
events, and providing clear avenues for ongoing
engagement.

For detailed information and summaries from
public surveys, engagement events, and meetings,
please see Appendix B.

Phase 1: Existing
Conditions and Visioning
In Fall 2023, the project team convened an
Advisory Group of residents and stakeholders to
understand community members’ experiences
traveling along T Street and key project corridors
and visions for their future. The Advisory
Group’s insights helped shape the existing
condition assessment and resulting design
recommendations. To further understand active
transportation opportunities and challenges
in Newman, the project team distributed a
community survey, which received 45 responses.

Phase 2: Concept Selection
and Design
The second phase included several iterative
community engagement efforts to solicit feedback
from a range of stakeholders on draft design
concepts for the priority corridors, including input
on trade offs and priorities for facility types and
treatments. A three-day design charrette allowed
the team to work on-site in Newman, immersing
in the community and inviting the public to help
shape initial concepts for T Street and other key
project corridors. The Advisory Group meeting and
subsequent online survey in Spring 2024, which
received 36 responses, then gathered feedback on
those charrette-developed designs.

In Fall 2025, a second round of outreach collected
input on designs for T Street and key project
corridors, the citywide loop, and opportunity sites,
including community perspectives on facility tradeoffs, through an online survey with 170 responses and a pop-up event that engaged over 30 people.

Community feedback and consultation with City
staff guided the final design concepts.

Phase 3: Community
Connectivity Plan
In early 2026, the project team hosted a
meeting with the Advisory Group and two public
community workshops to present the draft plan
and final design concepts for T Street and other
project corridors. Questions and feedback from
these events resulted in targeted refinements to
the final corridor concepts.

Community Engagement
Takeaways
• Appreciation of Newman’s small-town
character and desire for safer streets
for everyone.
• Support for measures to
reduce speeding and calm traffic.
• Enthusiasm for sidewalks and more
visible crosswalks, especially for
youth and people with disabilities.
• Support for bikeways, with preferred
separation varying by street; a small
minority of community members
oppose bike lanes due to low cycling
levels or parking concerns.
• Strong interest in repaving on
T Street, Inyo Ave, Yolo Ave, and
Canal School Rd.
• Maintaining street parking is a
priority, though many community
members are open to curb changes to
accommodate biking/walking space,
with the exception of many T Street
residents, who would like the curb
unchanged.
• Broad support for a citywide loop to
connect Newman and provide safe,
recreational walking and
biking routes.

T Street Design Concept
4 Existing Conditions
Today, T Street has two 14-foot travel lanes with
8-foot on-street parking on both sides (refer to
cross section on the following page). Sidewalks
are largely absent, except for a short segment
south of Orestimba Road. Unprotected bike lanes
run along both sides but drop at intersections,
and crossings are wide with limited curb ramps
and marked crosswalks. These conditions, along
with speeding, a recurring concern on the corridor,
create uncomfortable and unsafe travel for
people walking and biking, especially school-aged
children traveling to Orestimba High School, Hunt
Elementary School, and Yolo Middle School.

Recommendations
The proposed design (seen on page 33, 34-35)
reallocates space within existing curbs to improve
safety and comfort while preserving neighborhood
character. The concept retains existing curbs,
mature tree canopy, and on-street parking on both
sides.

Continuous 9-foot sidewalks are proposed on both
sides of the street to provide an uninterrupted
pedestrian facility that can function like a shareduse path for pedestrians and younger children biking at slow speeds. To keep the sidewalk
accessible across frequent driveways, a modified
driveway detail is proposed using a 4-foot ramp
(instead of the City’s 6-foot standard), maintaining
a 5-foot uninterrupted path of travel.

Travel lanes are narrowed from 14 feet to 11 feet,
and shared-lane (sharrow) markings support a
low-stress bike boulevard for more experienced
riders in the roadway. Landscaped, flow-through
bulb-outs, are placed throughout the corridor and
are paired with speed cushions to calm traffic, add
shade, greenery, and stormwater treatment. Bulbout locations are conceptual and will be refined in future phases of design. Flow-through bulb-outs
are planted curb extensions that take stormwater
through curb cuts, filter it through vegetation and
soil, and return it to the drainage system.

Landscaped curb extensions without trees are
proposed at most intersections and marked
crossings to improve visibility and reduce crossing
distances, except at T Street/Orestimba Road and
T Street/Inyo Avenue, where curb extensions are
included without landscaping.

Intersection upgrades along the corridor include
high-visibility crosswalks, curb extensions, and
detectable warning pads. Pedestrian-crossing
signage is recommended at high-traffic locations
including Inyo Avenue and Yolo Street/Orestimba
Road, with school-zone signage installed per
California MUTCD guidance.

Together, these changes will support a safer, more
connected walking and biking network serving
Yolo Middle School, Orestimba High School, Lions
Park, and the broader citywide loop described in
Chapter 7. For cost opinions, funding strategies,
and implementation guidance, see Chapter 6.

Key Design Benefits
• Continuous 9-foot sidewalks on both
sides provide dedicated, comfortable
pedestrian space and support lowspeed bicycling for younger riders. • Travel lanes narrowed to encourage
slower, vehicle speeds.
• Intermittent curb bulb-outs and speed
cushions deliver corridor-wide traffic
calming.
• Landscaped, flow-through bulb-outs
add shade and greenery, reinforce
neighborhood character, and treat
stormwater.
• High-visibility crosswalks, curb
extensions, ADA-compliant curb
ramps, and detectable warning pads
improve intersection accessibility,
visibility, and crossing comfort
• Shared-lane markings with traffic
calming support a low-stress bike
boulevard for more experienced
riders.

1 Travel lanes are narrowed from 14 ft to 11 ft as a traffic calming measure.

Bulb-out planters with street trees reinforce the narrower roadway. 9-ft sidewalks are proposed on both sides of the street, providing an dedicated pedestrian facility that can also function like a shared-use path for younger children biking at low speeds.

On-street parking is retained with 8-ft parallel parking lanes.

FEATURES
T Street Conceptual Plan
Shared lane markings (sharrows) for bicyclists placed ~40 ft after intersections and every ~250 ft.

Bulb-outs in the on-street parking zones provide space for additional street trees and green infrastructure. Bulb-outs and trees visually narrow the street and calm traffic. Bulb-out locations are conceptual and will be refined in future design phases.

Landscaped curb extensions (without trees) are proposed at most intersections and marked crossings. At T Street/Orestimba Road and T Street/Inyo Avenue, curb extensions are proposed without landscaping. 11 4

Alternatives Exploration
The recommended concept reflects extensive
community engagement and collaboration with
City of Newman staff. Four preliminary concepts
were developed (see following page) to explore
options for improving walking and biking along T
Street, particularly for students accessing nearby
schools:

Concept A Parking-Protected Bike Lanes
Concept B Off-Street Shared-Use Path
Concept C Bike Boulevard
Concept D Two-Way Protected Bike Lane
Across all events and stakeholders,
sidewalks were the most desired feature on T
Street followed by traffic calming measures.

Community Feedback and
Alternatives Refinement
Feedback gathered through two Advisory Group
meetings, two online surveys, and a pop-up event
between 2023 and 2025 revealed preferences
for key design features from different concepts.

Across all events and stakeholders, sidewalks
were the most desired feature on T Street, followed
by traffic calming measures. Feedback from most
community members prioritized concepts with
separate pedestrian and bike facilities in Concept B
and D. The Advisory Group and T Street residents,
however, expressed strong support for maintaining
the existing curbline and parking in Concept C. The
recommended design is most closely aligned with
Concept C, which provides generous pedestrian
facilities and traffic calming measures without
impact on the existing curb or on-street parking.

Additional Design Concepts
5 Overview
This chapter includes design proposals for
the remaining key project corridors, including
Hardin Road, Yolo Street, Inyo Avenue, and Canal
School Road. The proposals are preliminary and
conceptual, but they establish a strong foundation
for future design and implementation. Community
feedback is integrated throughout the chapter,
showing how local input shaped and refined the
corridor concepts.

Additional Design Concepts | 41
Hardin Road
Today, Hardin Road consists of two 15-foot travel
lanes in each direction, a narrow west-side
sidewalk with varying widths, and intermittent
sidewalk and parking on the east side. These
discontinuous pedestrian facilities, along with the
lack of dedicated space for bicycling, leave gaps
and create uncomfortable, and at times unsafe,
conditions, particularly for students traveling to
Orestimba High School and Lions Park.

The proposed design helps address these issues
by providing a continuous shared-use path on the
west side, separated from traffic by a landscaped
buffer, where space allows. Designed for the
high number of students who walk and bike
along Hardin Road, the path offers a predictable,
off-street facility for both pedestrians and
bicyclists. It also strengthens access to the high
school and Lions Park and connects to proposed
improvements on T Street (Chapter 4) and Yolo
Street. To accommodate the shared-use path and
support traffic calming, travel lanes are proposed
to be narrowed from 15 feet to 11 feet, with speed
humps added throughout the corridor to help
reduce speeds.

Between Yolo Street and Angelina Street, along
the high school frontage, the design would build
on the existing 6-foot school sidewalk within
school property, widening it to a 12-foot shareduse path without extending beyond the current back edge of sidewalk. A 4-foot landscaped
buffer in this segment would enhance comfort,
add shade with street trees, and contribute to a
more attractive streetscape. Because this portion
relies on facilities outside the public right-of-way,
close coordination with the school district will be
essential, and the district should remain involved
through future design phases.

North of Angelina Street, the cross section would
continue within a narrower 34-foot right-of-way
consisting of two, 11-foot travel lanes and a
12-foot shared-use path. In this segment, the path
would remain within existing right-of-way and
omit the landscaped buffer to avoid impacts to
private property.

Intersection upgrades would include highvisibility crosswalks, curb extensions, detectable warning pads, and school-zone and pedestriancrossing signage.

Recommendations for Hardin Road are illustrated
on the following page.

Community Feedback and
Alternatives Exploration
Early concepts for Hardin Road included a
sidewalk-level two-way separated bike lane
adjacent to the existing west-side sidewalk. While
the idea received support, many community
members noted that the design should better
reflect the significant number of pedestrians
traveling to and from Orestimba High School.

In response to this feedback, the two-way
separated bikeway and sidewalk was adapted
into a one, generous shared-use path. This
modification increases space for pedestrians
without compromising safety or comfort for
bicyclists, creating a flexible, multimodal facility
better suited to school-related travel patterns and
existing users.

Key Design Benefits
• Continuous 12-foot shared-use path
provides a predictable, comfortable
space for walking and bicycling,
especially for students.
• Landscaped buffer separates the path
from traffic, improving comfort and
adding shade and greenery.
• Travel lanes narrowed and speed
humps added to encourage slower
vehicle speeds and a calmer corridor.
• Shared-use path continues north of
Angelina Street within the existing
right-of-way by dropping the
landscaped buffer, helping avoid
impacts to private property.
• High-visibility crosswalks, curb
extensions, ADA-compliant ramps,
detectable warning pads, and schoolzone/pedestrian signage improve crossing safety and accessibility.

Yolo Street
Today, Yolo Street has, 5-foot sidewalks on either
side and 12-foot travel lanes in each direction.

The area between the travel lanes and sidewalks
vary by segment, with on street parking in some
areas and on street bike lanes in others. As a key
route linking Hardin Road, T Street, and west side
schools and parks to the historic Main Street/
downtown area, Yolo Street is a critical part of the
local circulation network. However, the corridor
lacks clear, continuous bicycle facilities, and its
wide curb-to-curb roadway, paired with relatively
narrow sidewalks, encourages higher speeds, a
concern repeatedly raised by the community.

The proposed design applies a consistent
treatment along the entire corridor and
formalizes Yolo Street as a slow-street / bike
boulevard, where people driving and biking
share the roadway. Because bicyclists will be in
the travel lane, traffic-slowing treatments are
essential throughout the corridor. Bulb-outs are
proposed at intersections and mid-block on either
side of the street to reduce crossing distances,
improve visibility, and visually narrow the
roadway. The design also recommends rumble
strips at key locations and an all-way stop at Q
Street to control speeds and increase pedestrian
visbility. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
(RRFBs) should also be considered at uncontrolled
intersections in future design phases. Bulb-outs
also create opportunities for new planting pockets
for street trees and vegetation, adding shade,
green infrastructure, and visual appeal that help
shape a calmer, more inviting street. Travel lanes
are proposed to be narrowed from 12 feet to 11
feet to cue slower driving and accommodate the
wider sidewalks. Sidewalks are proposed to be
widened from 5 to 6-feet on both sides. On-street
parking is proposed along both sides of the street.

At major crossings, school-zone and pedestriancrossing signage are proposed, in addition to bulb-outs, high-visibility crosswalks, detectable
warning pads, to improve safety especially for
students traveling to and from Orestimba High
School and Hunt Elementary School. The concept
is illustrated on the following pages.

Community Feedback and
Alternatives Exploration
Two initial concepts were developed to improve
pedestrian and bicycle mobility along Yolo Street:

Concept A Bike Boulevard (retains street
parking)
Concept B Buffered Bike Lane (would remove
parking on one side)
Phase 2 survey results identified Concept A, the
bike boulevard, as the preferred option, with 58%
of respondents supporting Concept A compared
to 38% supporting Concept B. Respondents
noted that reducing speeding was a primary
concern, and they favored a design that both
calms traffic and improves access for cyclists
and pedestrians. Concept A met these goals by
incorporating regular traffic-calming features,
adding intermittent trees for shade and visibility,
and maintaining all existing parking.

Key Design Benefits
• Yolo Street is formalized as a slowstreet where people biking and driving share the lane, supported by sharedlane markings (sharrows). • Travel lanes narrowed and speed
humps added to encourage slower
vehicle speeds and a calmer corridor.
• Sidewalks widened from 5 to 6 feet on
both sides provide more comfortable
pedestrian space.
• Bulb-outs placed at intersections and
mid-block shorten crossings, improve
visibility, visually narrow the roadway.
• Bulb-outs create new planting pockets
for trees/green infrastructure and
shade.
• On-street parking is maintained along
both sides.
• High-visibility crosswalks, detectable
warnings, and school/pedestrian
signage at key crossings help improve
safety and accessibility.

Inyo Avenue
Today, Inyo Avenue has one travel lane in each
direction, on street parking on both sides, and
sidewalks of varying widths. As a major east west
connector that crosses Highway 33, it carries
truck traffic and experiences higher speeds.

These conditions create an inconsistent walking
and biking environment with limited protection for
people walking and biking.

The proposed design responds by adding a
protected bikeway, introducing landscaping, and
reconfiguring the roadway to better support all
users. A 10-foot, street level, two way separated
bike lane is proposed along the north side,
keeping the existing curb and sidewalk in place. It
would be paired with a two foot buffer and vertical
protection, while vehicle lanes are narrowed
from 12 feet to 11 feet. On street parking would
be removed on the north side to accommodate
the separated bikeway, and regularly spaced
landscaped bulb outs added on the south side
to further calm traffic and introduce trees and
greenery, responding to Inyo Avenue residents
who consistently advocated for additional street
trees throughout the planning process.

Safety upgrades are also proposed at
intersections, including high visibility crosswalks
with curb extensions, detectable warning pads,
and bike conflict striping throughout the corridor.

School zone and speed reduction signage
near Yolo Middle School would increase driver
awareness and improve the visibility of youth.

Near the Stanislaus Street/Inyo Street
intersections, the north leg is notably wide,
creating longer crossings and higher-speed
turning movements. A near-term narrowing of
this approach, extending from the west edge of
the existing park, should be explored using paint,
planters, or other quick-build materials.

The Newman Road Safety Plan is being developed
alongside this effort and includes complementary
recommendations for the Inyo Avenue/Highway
33 intersection. Those recommendations
should be referenced as part of the proposed
improvements in this plan and carried forward
into the next phases of design to ensure a
coordinated, comprehensive approach.

Community Feedback and
Alternatives Exploration
Two initial design concepts were developed to
improve walking and biking along Inyo Avenue:

Concept A On-Street Two-Way Separated
Bike Lane
Concept B Off-Street Two-Way Separated
Bike Lane with Landscape Buffer
Both options provided sidewalks on both sides
of the street and a protected two-way bikeway
on the north side. Survey results revealed that a
majority of community members supported both
Concept A and B, with a slightly higher percentage
preferring Concept B.

Key Design Benefits
• Street-level two-way separated bike
lane provides a protected bikeway
while keeping the existing curb and
sidewalk in place.
• Vehicle travel lanes narrowed from 12
feet to 11 feet help reduce speeds.
• On-street parking removed on the
north side makes room for the
protected bikeway.
• Regular landscaped bulb-outs help
calm traffic, shorten crossings, and
add street trees and greenery.
• High-visibility crosswalks, curb
extensions, detectable warnings,
and bike conflict striping improve
intersection safety for all users.
• School-zone and speed-reduction
signage near Yolo Middle School
increases driver awareness and
visibility of youth.
• Near-term narrowing at Stanislaus/
Inyo using quick-build tools can
reduce crossing distances and slow
turning movements.

Canal School Road
Today, Canal School Road varies in cross section
along its length, but generally includes one travel
lane in each direction and a narrow sidewalk on
the west side. These limited and inconsistent
facilities make walking and biking uncomfortable.

To address both near term safety needs and
longer term proposed roadway realignment,
the recommended concept includes both short
and long term improvements. In the short term,
a sidewalk level shared use path on the north
west side is proposed to provide a comfortable
separated facility for people walking and biking,
completing a connection between the proposed
Inyo Avenue two-way separated bikeway and the
existing on street bike lanes on Hills Ferry Road.

Future design for Canal School Road should be
coordinated with the Newman Road Safety Action
Plan and incorporate its recommendations for the
Canal School Road/Hills Ferry Road intersection.

In the long term, Canal School Road may be
fully reconstructed to support the planned
realignment identified in the City’s General Plan.

This realignment would shift the roadway to better
align with Driskell Street and form a new four-way
intersection. The long-term concept includes a
new, generously sized shared-use path east side,
providing ample width for both walking and biking,
full separation from vehicle traffic, and enhanced
comfort through landscaped buffers and street
trees that offer generous shade on both sides of
the corridor. Because this realignment requires
complete roadway reconstruction, the short-term
and long-term concepts should be viewed as
distinct phases and are not expected to match in
exact layout or design details.

Recommendations for Canal School Road are
illustrated on the following pages.

Community Feedback and
Alternatives Exploration
Community members expressed support in the
online survey for both the short-term and longterm concepts, with an overall preference for the long-term build-out due to its enhanced pedestrian
and bicycle facilities, expanded landscaping,
and more complete corridor transformation.

Stakeholders desired better connections to the
existing Sherman Parkway shared-use path via
the Hills Ferry Road bike lane, as well as improved
pedestrian access. Both design options achieve
this goal and improve connectivity along Newman’s
eastern border.

Key Design Benefits
• Short-term sidewalk-level shared-use
path on the northwest side provides
a comfortable, separated space for
walking and biking.
• Completes a key connection between
the proposed Inyo Avenue two-way
separated bikeway and existing bike
lanes on Hills Ferry Road.
• Long-term realignment creates a new
four-way intersection with Driskell
Street and supports full corridor
reconstruction.
• Long-term shared-use path on the
east side, with landscaped buffers and
street trees, delivers a wide, shaded,
fully separated facility for all ages and
abilities.
• Connection to Newman Environmental
Wetland System (NEWS) project to
promote recreational activity and
access to nature.

At the time of writing, California’s Active Transportation Program, which funds projects that support walking and biking statewide, has experienced significant recent budget cuts. This has made the acquisition of funding especially competitive, limiting the number of projects that can be implemented. As will always be the case for projects of this scale, the City will need to pursue a mix of local, regional, and state funding sources, with an emphasis on competitive programs that reward safety, school access, and green infrastructure.

Phasing Considerations
Overview
It should be noted that no topographic, right-ofway, or utility surveys were conducted as part of this Plan; the designs shown are high-level
and conceptual. As corridors advance, next steps
should include a survey to confirm right-of-way
(ROW) dimensions, utilities, drainage, and existing
on-the-ground conditions. Several Newman
corridors, including Hardin Road, also have ROW
limits that do not align with the current curbto-curb width. This atypical configuration adds complexity because the right-of-way may not
reflect the functional roadway footprint today.

Moving recommendations forward will therefore
require continued coordination with adjacent
property owners to confirm boundaries, access
needs, and any necessary easements.

In the short term, the City should focus on
confirming concepts through a survey, developing
a funding and delivery strategy, and pursuing
grant opportunities to position projects for design
and construction. If full corridor buildout will
take time, near-term “quick wins” should also
be considered to address urgent safety needs
and build momentum, such as paint-and-post
curb extensions, temporary refuge islands,
speed cushions/humps, enhanced school-zone
signing and markings, or quick-build crossing
upgrades where feasible. These treatments can be
implemented with lower cost and shorter timelines
while longer-term capital projects are designed
and funded.

Arborists should be consulted early in future
phases to assess existing trees, identify
constraints, and guide opportunities to protect,
remove, replace, or add trees as designs are
refined.

T Street
Although final construction phasing will be
determined as the project advances into detailed
design, engineering and permitting, early planning
can help minimize disruption to residents and
maintain safe access for school-aged children.

A block-by-block construction approach is
recommended for T Street in order to minimize
disruption by limiting active construction to
small segments at a time, rather than affecting
the entire corridor simultaneously. During active
construction, temporary safe detour routes
should be identified and clearly signed using
parallel neighborhood streets or temporary
shared-use paths.

Coordination with the Newman-Crows Landing
Unified School District, crossing guards, and
parent groups can help ensure safe travel
options throughout construction.

Maintaining continuous driveway access for
residents is a standard requirement and should
be incorporated into phasing plans. Construction
near driveways may necessitate temporary steel
plates, short-term closures during concrete
curing, or scheduled access windows. These
disruptions should be coordinated with residents
in advance with clear communication from the
City and contractor.

A temporary parking management plan should be
established for the corridor. This may include:
‚ Allowing on-street parking on the opposite side
of an active work zone
‚ Short-term no-parking zones during specific
construction activities
66 | Implementation
Key Project Corridors
This Plan does not include a prescriptive phasing
plan for the remaining key project corridors
including Hardin Road, Yolo Street, Inyo Avenue,
and Canal School Road. Instead, it outlines a highlevel flexible decision-making framework that the City of Newman can use to determine which
corridors could advance first. This approach
allows the City to align corridor upgrades with
funding opportunities, community priorities, and
planned capital projects, ensuring resources are
used efficiently and improvements are timed
effectively.

Community feedback indicates particularly strong
interest in improvements to Yolo Street and Inyo
Avenue, especially due to their roles as school
access routes and locations with documented
concerns about speeding and pedestrian safety.

Corridors that help complete or strengthen the
citywide loop may also offer significant network
benefits and become strong candidates for earlier
phases. Additional near-term opportunities
may arise when projects can be coordinated
with street resurfacing, development frontage
improvements, or green infrastructure initiatives.

Integration with Ongoing and Future City Projects
As highlighted in the phasing considerations
section, T Street and other corridor improvements
should be coordinated with other planned
projects when feasible to efficiently leverage
staff and funding resources. Opportunities for
synchronization are outlined below.

Street Resurfacing
Regular roadway maintenance presents
opportunities for the City to undertake larger
corridor improvements. Repaving or resurfacing
can be expanded to include re-striping for
bike facilities, such as the bike boulevard
recommendations along Yolo Street, or for
more intensive reconstruction projects like
along T Street.

Safety Improvement
Corridor improvements should be coordinated
with the safety recommendations outlined
in the forthcoming Newman Road Safety
Action Plan. The plan prioritizes key corridors
and intersections, including the Inyo Avenue
and Highway 33 intersection and the Canal
School Road and Hills Ferry Road intersection,
for future improvements and recommends
countermeasures to reduce collisions. The design
recommendations for the Inyo Avenue and Canal
School Road corridors and intersections are
intended to be implemented concurrently to
maximize existing resources and make these
projects more competitive for grant funding.

Green Infrastructure
All corridor improvements include
recommendations for additional landscaping and
green infrastructure. This presents an opportunity
to highlight project co-benefits when applying
for grant funding, and for coordination with
Newman’s Urban Forestry Management Plan.

The plan identified priority planting for heat
islands in Newman, which includes Inyo Avenue,
Yolo Street and T Street corridors.

Private Development
Capital Facility Development Impact fees for
development earmarked for transportation
improvements could be used to help implement
design recommendations. Improvements to
the sidewalk or roadway fronting a proposed
development can be incorporated into the
conditions for approval on Canal School Road.

Citywide prioritization of projects should also
consider community feedback. In the Fall
2025 survey, community members prioritized
improvements for Yolo Street and Inyo Avenue
after T Street.

Overview
The following pages present high-level ideas for
potential opportunity sites identified through this
effort, including two sites on Inyo Avenue, as well
as recommendations and considerations for the
citywide loop discussed throughout this report.

These concepts are intended to build on the
corridor recommendations, advance early thinking
about future improvements, and help guide more
detailed planning and design as projects move
forward.

Supporting Recommendations | 71
Citywide Loop
As part of this project, the City of Newman
identified a conceptual alignment for a citywide
loop of continuous sidewalks and low-stress
bicycle facilities that connect schools, parks,
neighborhoods, and other key community
destinations, including the Newman Environments
Wetlands System (NEWS) at the southeast corner
of the city. The identified 4.5-mile loop includes
T Street, Hardin Road, Inyo Avenue, and Canal
School Road. Remaining segments include Hills
Ferry Road and Sherman Parkway. Today, the
only completed segment is the multi-use path
on Sherman Parkway. Design recommendations
for each corridor were intentionally developed to
advance this larger vision.

Implementing the recommended improvements
on T Street, Hardin Road, Inyo Avenue, and Canal
School Road would complete over 75% of the
citywide loop, positioning Newman to create a safe,
comfortable, and connected network for people
of all ages and abilities. In addition to everyday
transportation benefits, the loop would provide
a convenient recreational amenity, supporting
walking, biking, rolling, and family outings by
offering a continuous route for exercise and
leisure. The citywide loop concept can also help
build momentum for future projects, strengthen
support for multimodal investments, and create
new opportunities for a citywide, connected active
transportation system that links residents to the
places they travel every day.

Community Feedback
Community members were enthusiastic about
creating a continuous walking and biking loop
around Newman. In the Fall 2025 survey and
pop-up event, respondents highlighted the need
for a safe and comfortable experience, with top
priorities including shade and lighting, green
infrastructure, water refill stations, and regular
seating or rest stops. They also shared what they
hope to do along the loop most often, exercise
and fitness, spending time in family-friendly
areas, and enjoying quiet reflection and nature
immersion. The images on this page show the
survey results, including priorities for the loop
and preferences for its character and identity. Phase 2 Survey Results for Citywide Loop Priorities Phase 2 Survey Results for Citywide Loop Character and Identity The history

Amenities and Placemaking
Building on community members’ priorities
and the broader vision for a continuous active
transportation facility, Newman has an opportunity
to make the citywide loop more than a route. With
the right amenities and placemaking, the loop
can become a signature public space that feels
distinctly “Newman,” turning everyday walking
and biking into a comfortable and memorable
community experience.

Amenities along the loop can draw inspiration from
the pedestrian-oriented character of Downtown
Newman, including distinctive lighting, seating,
signage, and planting palettes, while being adapted
to the quieter residential streets and agricultural
edges the loop passes through. Thoughtfully
designed elements could include shaded seating
nodes and micro-rest areas; green infrastructure
planters and bioswales that manage stormwater;
native landscaping that reflects the region’s
ecology; subtle branding or wayfinding that unifies
the loop without overwhelming neighborhoods; lowimpact lighting that supports comfortable nighttime walking; and locations for small-scale public art or
community-created installations.

Together, these features can reinforce Newman’s
small-town character while creating a cohesive,
recognizable, and inviting public realm. The
loop becomes not only a safe, low-stress travel
corridor, but also a community asset that supports
wellness, connection, and local pride, helping
build momentum for future active transportation
investments citywide.

Opportunity Sites
Underutilized sites along Inyo Avenue were
identified for their potential to catalyze corridor
transformation through future redevelopment
that strengthens the public realm, creating
more inviting places to walk and bike while
adding vibrancy, greenery, and open space
along the corridor.

Opportunity Site A: Main and Inyo
Opportunity Site A re-envisions the intersection
of Main Street and Inyo Avenue as the southern
gateway to Main Street, helping extend the
downtown experience farther south and more
clearly define the entry to the historic core.

Gateway vision: The proposed design frames
Main Street and Inyo Avenue as a prominent
southern arrival point, strengthening the
downtown identity and creating a more
welcoming, people-oriented edge.

Intersection realignment: The conceptual plan
realigns Main Street to meet Inyo Avenue at a
90-degree angle, shifting the intersection west
by roughly 25 feet. This improves visibility and
safety, and reorients the southbound “terminating
view” on Main Street toward the redevelopment
parcel west of Moreno Avenue rather than a
secondary access road.

Infill development opportunities: The study
explores redevelopment on two key parcels:

Northwest corner of Inyo and Main (former Foster
Farms hatchery; City pursuing acquisition/publicprivate partnership).

Concept details:
‚ Vertical mixed-use buildings with ground-floor
retail/service and 1–2 stories of housing above
‚ Two buildings set close to the sidewalk with
surface parking behind
‚ One two-story building and one three-story
building
Program includes:
‚ 24 residential units (avg. ~750 sf)
‚ 14,000 sf non-residential ground floor
‚ 36 parking spaces (~1.5 per unit; assumes
commercial parking on Main Street)
‚ Parking is the limiting factor; reducing ratios
could allow both buildings to be three stories
and add ~8 more units.

Southwest corner of Inyo and Main (between
Moreno Ave. and Prince Rd.) (large vacant C-1
parcel with residential edge nearby). Opportunity
to anchor the realigned Main Street terminus and
step down in scale toward single-family homes.

Concept details:
‚ Two courtyard buildings facing Inyo Avenue:
‚ Mixed-use courtyard building closest to
Main Street (retail/service below, housing
above
‚ All-residential courtyard building closer to
Prince Road
‚ Surface and tuck-under parking behind
‚ “Missing middle” multifamily along Prince Road
(duplexes shown)
‚ Pocket neighborhood/cottage-court-style
housing within the deep lot (townhouse court
shown)
Program includes:
‚ 50 residential units (29 courtyard apartments, 6
duplex units, 15 townhome units)
‚ 5,000 sf ground-floor non-residential
‚ Off-street parking meeting City minimums
(commercial 1/300 sf; apartments 1.5/unit;
duplex/townhome 2/unit).

Opportunity Site B: Stanislaus
Triangle Park
Opportunity Site B would expand the Stanislaus
Triangle Park by repurposing a portion of the
generous 80-foot Stanislaus Street right-of-way
and some of the width of Q Street into usable park
space, effectively extending the park and attaching
it to the block immediately to the north. The
conceptual plan would terminate Stanislaus Street
at Q Street, removing the unsafe acute-angled
intersection between Stanislaus Street and Inyo
Avenue and redirecting traffic to a safer 90-degree
intersection at Q Street and Inyo Avenue.

The added park area creates new opportunities
to program the space with community-serving
activities and amenities, turning this location
into a more active neighborhood destination. The
southern edge of the park could also align with
one of the proposed Inyo Avenue design options
featuring a two-way cycle track on the north side
of the street, bringing bicycle traffic directly to the park and strengthening its role as a key stop along
an improved multimodal route.

As noted in the Inyo Avenue corridor discussion,
near-term improvements should also be
considered on the west side of the existing park at
Stanislaus Street before traffic merges onto Inyo.

Quick-build intersection narrowing using paint,
planters, or similar materials could improve safety,
slow turning movements, and begin shaping a
more welcoming streetscape ahead of long-term
reconstruction.

Community Feedback
Online Phase 2 survey respondents expressed
overall support for proposals for both
Opportunity sites A and B, noting that the
current Inyo Avenue/Stanislaus Street/Q Street
intersection feels confusing and dangerous and
emphasizing a desire for a more pet-friendly
park. Community members were largely
supportive of mixed-use housing at Inyo Avenue
and Main Street to activate and beautify the
underutilized area, though a small number
raised alternative ideas or concerns, such as
incorporating a homeless shelter, using the
site for a police station instead of housing, or
potential access impacts to nearby residents if
streets are reconfigured.

Priorities for Site B Programming
Both written comments and the prioritization
exercise show a clear desire for a dog park or
pet-friendly area. Currently, there is one dog
park on the east side of Newman but none on the
west side. Other priorities reflected interest in
garden space and recreation areas. Phase 2 Survey Results for Opportunity Site B Programming Options s: Spaces and

Policy and Programmatic Recommendations
The following recommendations may enhance the
project corridor improvements and further the
Plan goals of safety, accessibility, and connectivity
in Newman.

Safe Routes to School
The T Street Corridor Improvement and
Community Connection Plan identifies key
infrastructure improvements to make walking,
rolling, and biking safer and more accessible
across Newman, particularly focusing on
routes to school. The recommended street
improvements could be incorporated into a
holistic Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program
that includes education and encouragement
activities such as walking school buses, bike
rodeos, and other events. SR2S program could
also help address concerns raised about
congestion during drop-off and pick-up at
Orestimba High School. Newman could model
its approach to SR2S programming based on
other Stanislaus SR2S programs in Turlock and
Modesto.

Safety Messaging
Reducing speeding is a primary concern that
was shared through all phases of community
engagement. The City of Newman could consider
a messaging campaign to encourage safer driving
habits, as well as educate pedestrians and
bicyclists about their rights and responsibilities
on the road.

Wayfinding Program
The City of Newman could explore a cohesive
wayfinding and placemaking program that
includes directional and informational signage for
bike and pedestrian routes, clear guidance to key
destinations, school-zone awareness signs, and
opportunities for interpretive panels and public
art elements along loops and corridors to reflect
local stories and identity.

E-Bike Incentive Program
Funded by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), the California E-Bike Incentive Program
offers periodic vouchers to California residents
over the age of 18 that meet income restrictions.

The City of Newman could spread awareness about
this program to Newman residents to encourage
active transportation and climate resiliency.

MEMORANDUM
February 4, 2026
To: Thomas Spankowski, City of Newman
From: Anjulie Palta and Lindsay Mulcahy, Toole Design Group Project: Newman T Street Corridor Improvement and Community Connectivity Plan Re: Community Engagement Summary
Background and Purpose
This memorandum describes the engagement efforts and outcomes for the T Street Corridor Improvement and Community Connectivity Plan and synthesizes community feedback to that informed the design concept selected for key corridors (T Street, Hardin Road, Inyo Avenue, Canal School Road, and Yolo Street) in the City of Newman.

From 2023 to 2025, the project team conducted engagement activities to gain community insight and preferences on the redesign of T Street and several related corridors and projects including Hardin Road, Yolo Street, Inyo Avenue, Canal School Road, two opportunity sites for development, and a citywide loop. These efforts further several key goals of the T Street Corridor Project, including:
 Engage residents, especially those do not typically participate in City decision making and planning processes;
 Identify obstacles that impact people’s mobility, access, safety, and comfort;  Develop designs to improve conditions for walking and bicycling;  Consider ways to include trees and other green infrastructure on city streets.

Summary of Engagement Efforts
Each phase of the planning process included multiple rounds of community engagement. All completed engagement efforts are summarized below. Raw survey results and draft design concepts are provided as an attachment.

Phase 1: Existing Conditions and Visioning (2023)
Advisory Group Meeting: The first Advisory Group meeting was convened October 2023 to share their experiences with the project corridors and give feedback on the draft community engagement plan. Members include city agency representatives, T Street residents, and other community stakeholders.

Existing Conditions Phase 1 Survey: Distributed in November 2023, the online survey collected data from 45 Newman residents about where and why they use active transportation and what challenges they experience while walking, biking, or rolling along the project corridors. 1·00LE

2 Phase 2: Concept Selection and Design (2024-2025)
Design Charrette: In February 2024, the project team hosted fourteen hours of open studio to gather feedback while developing preliminary designs and alternatives for T Street and the remaining priority corridors, the loop, and opportunity sites. Events included an opening and closing workshop, a women’s group meeting, elementary school class, and a meeting with the Promotoras health outreach program.

Advisory Group Meeting: The Advisory Group reviewed and gave initial feedback on the design concepts and alternatives for all corridors and opportunity sites in March 2024.

Preliminary Design Concept Survey: Conducted in March 2024, the online preliminary survey gathered feedback from 36 residents on the proposed design alternatives for T Street, the remaining priority corridors, and opportunity sites.

The design charrette engaged community members across Newman in the development of draft corridor designs.

Full Design Concept Survey: An updated online survey showcasing proposed design alternatives for T Street, the remaining priority corridors, opportunity sites, and the citywide loop was distributed in fall 2025 to raise awareness and invite feedback. The survey was promoted through handouts at the annual Fall Festival, a flyer sent with the monthly utility bill to 3,600 households, door hangers, and posts on the City of Newman and Department of Public Works’ Facebook accounts. Outreach materials and the survey were available in English and Spanish. In total, 170 community members completed the survey. The results from this survey, described in detail below, were instrumental in the selection of the recommended design concepts for T Street and supporting corridors.

Pop-Up Event: The project team led a pop-up event at Sherman Park during a Saturday youth soccer tournament in October 2025. Residents used dots and post-it notes to give feedback on key questions from the online survey about T Street and the citywide loop. Over five hours, the project team engaged about 30 residents including youth, parents, and property owners along T Street and other key project corridors. 3 The project team used boards and flyers to solicit feedback from residents on design concepts for the plan.

Phase 3: T Street Corridor Improvement and Community Connectivity Plan (2025-2026) Advisory Group Meeting: The project team presented the recommended design concept for T Street to the Advisory Group in December 2025. Advisory Group members asked clarifying questions and shared knowledge from the perspective of their organization or community that informed the Draft Plan.

Community Meeting: In January 2026, the project team hosted two community meetings at City Hall, one in the early afternoon and one in the evening, to present the Draft Plan, the recommended design concept for T Street, and design concepts for other key corridors. Each meeting lasted approximately 1.5 hours and began with a presentation by the project team, followed by an open discussion. The meetings concluded with an open house format, allowing participants to review poster boards illustrating proposed design elements, cross-sections, and corridor concepts, and to provide detailed feedback. Approximately ten community members, primarily residents of T Street, attended and shared questions and input.
4 Key Takeaways Across All Engagement Activities
The project team identified the following themes based on community feedback:
 Newman residents take pride in their town and want to maintain its small-town feel while improving safety for all.
 Residents largely support countermeasures to reduce speeding and make streets safer.  There is widespread enthusiasm for improved sidewalks and increased visibility of pedestrian crosswalks to improve accessibility, especially for youth and people with disabilities.  There is overall support for bike facilities, with varying degrees of separation from cars depending on the street. There is a minority of respondents opposed to bike lanes, citing a lack of cyclists in Newman or negative impacts to parking.
 Residents are invested in ongoing public works maintenance. Repaving the roads was identified as a need on T Street, Inyo Avenue, Yolo Avenue, and Canal School Road. Residents also want to ensure maintenance would be incorporated into any new landscaping proposed.  Community desire to maintain existing parking and curb lines while implementing pedestrian and bicycle facilities to thoughtfully balance competing street uses.  There is widespread support for a Citywide Loop concept to connect the city and provide safe bicycle and pedestrian movement and recreation opportunities.  Trees, landscaping, and green infrastructure are a high priority for the citywide loop.  Community members are supportive of Opportunity Site designs to activate Main Street and Inyo Avenue and improve safety and open space at Stanislaus Triangle Park. 5 Summary of Phase 2 Fall 2025 Survey Findings
The summary of findings focuses on the results of the Phase 2 Fall 2025 survey, which included the most detailed questions about design options and received the greatest number of survey responses from the public. Unless otherwise noted, references to “the survey” from this point forward refer to the Phase 3 fall 2025 survey.

Feedback gathered during other engagement activities is integrated into the findings and noted where applicable.

Design concepts for T Street and the remaining corridors shown in the survey are attached to this document for reference, along with unedited, raw responses from the Phase 1 and Phase 2 surveys.

Demographics
A total of 170 community members participated in the survey, many of whom are directly impacted by the project’s priority corridors. Over half of respondents (55%) live on a priority corridor, including a substantial share who live along T Street, the main focus of this effort. In addition, 37% identified as students or parents/guardians of students in Newman; most of these respondents reported using T Street, Inyo Avenue, Hardin Road, and/or Yolo Street for school trips. Of the 170 respondents, six completed the survey in Spanish, and 34 identified themselves as T Street residents.

The pop-up event engaged high school students, parents, and property owners, many of whom live along or use the priority corridors.

T Street Redesign
Summary and Preferred Design Concept
Today, T Street has wide travel lanes, on-street bike lanes, and parking on both sides of the street. There are no existing sidewalks. The project team proposed four design concepts that would add sidewalks and varying types of bike facilities that would have different impacts to existing parking and curbs.

Overall, Concept B was the highest ranked among survey respondents. Concept B would add an off-street shared use path on the west side of the street and a sidewalk on the east side of the street. It would maintain existing parking and impact the curb on the west side of T street. T Street’s Concept B is similar to the design concept for Hardin Road, which would create a consistent and unified bike and pedestrian pathway on the west side of the road from the southern end of T Street north through the terminus of Hardin Road. This continuous, connected path would advance the goals of the proposed citywide loop.

T Street residents who completed the survey were most in favor of Concept C. Concept C would add sidewalks on both sides of the street and implement a bike boulevard with regular traffic calming treatments. It would not impact existing curbs or parking. Concept C was also the preferred design by Advisory Group members.

Concept A proposed parking protected bike lanes that would impact both the east and west curb. Concept D proposed a two-way protected bike lane on the west side of the street that would remove parking on that side.

Respondents in the Phase 2 survey were most supportive of Concept B and Concept A. 6 T Street Concept B: Off-Street Shared Use Path
T Street Concept C: Bike Boulevard
7 Concept B was the highest rated among all respondents of the survey. When asked to indicate their level of support, 29% of respondents selected “strongly support” and 22% of respondents selected “somewhat support” for a total of 51% in support of the design. It also had the lowest opposition of all concepts, with 33% selecting either “somewhat oppose” or “strongly oppose.”
Concept B was also the preferred alternative in the Phase 2 survey where respondents used rank choice voting. It was followed closely by Concept A, which would add parking-protected bike lanes on both sides of the street and impact both east and west curbs. At the pop-up event, respondents prioritized Concept D, which would add a protected bike lane and remove parking on the west side of T Street, followed by Concept B.

Survey Results for T Street Design Concept B Across All Respondents Among respondents who live on T Street, Concept C was the favored alternative: 40% selected either “strongly support” or “somewhat support.” It also had the lowest opposition among T Street residents, though opposition remained substantial, with 45% selecting “strongly oppose” or “somewhat oppose.” By comparison, 70% of T Street residents selected “strongly oppose” or “somewhat oppose” for Concept B, which was the overall preferred design citywide.

Across all survey respondents, Concept C ranked second in overall support. In total, 44% selected “strongly support” or “somewhat support,” and it had the highest combined opposition of the concepts, with 38% selecting “somewhat oppose” or “strongly oppose.”

9 Survey Results for T Street Priorities Across All Respondents T Street residents aligned with the overall trends by highly prioritizing slower driving speeds and preserving parking on both sides of the street. They differed, however, in two significant areas. The second highest priority for T Street residents was to maintain the existing curb, which was ranked as the lowest priority among all respondents. While sidewalks on both sides of the street were overall the highest priority among respondents, this was the least important feature for T Street residents. A dedicated place for people to bike separate from vehicles and more landscaping, trees, and green infrastructure ranked in the middle for both groups.

There was no meaningful difference in the rankings between T Street residents with and without children in Newman schools.

10 Parking Preferences for T Street
Half of respondents were neutral about preserving parking on one side of T Street if parking were to be removed.

The other half were divided fairly equally into preferring the west, east, or “other.” Each respondent who chose other wanted to preserve parking on both sides of the street.

Over 50% of T Street residents had a strong preference for parking on both sides of the street. Those open to reducing parking wanted to maintain parking on the west side of the street. In the survey comments and at the pop-up event, several residents noted that many houses on the west side do not have driveways or garages, and unlike the east side of the street, the west side does not have adjacent alley to park in. Commentors raised concerns about access for disabled and elderly residents should parking be lost.

Survey Results for T Street Parking Preferences Across All Respondents Survey Results for T Street Parking Preferences Among T Street Residents Additional Feedback on T Street
The most prevalent comments for T Street advocated for repaving the road, adding sidewalks, bike lanes, and traffic calming measures. Several focused specifically on increasing street safety for youth travelling to and from school through speed bumps as well as high visibility crosswalks.

Some respondents expressed a desire to keep the street as-is. Two commentors reiterated their desire to maintain the existing curb. A few commentors shared that there are not enough cyclists to warrant bike lanes, however those comments were outweighed one-to-four by those in favor of bike lanes. 18% Other · Write In

11 Hardin Road Redesign
Summary and Preferred Design Concept
Today, Hardin Road has one wide travel lane in each direction, a narrow sidewalk on the west side of the street, and some parking and sidewalk segments on the east side of the street.

One proposed design concept was explored for Hardin Road with a goals to provide bicycle and pedestrian access to Orestimba High School and Lions Park. The concept would add a sidewalk-level two-way separated bike lane and maintain the existing sidewalk on the west side of the street. When asked to indicate their level of support, about one-third of respondents selected “strongly support,” and another one-third selected “somewhat support.” Only 13% selected either “somewhat oppose” or “strongly oppose” the design.

Hardin Road Concept: Two-Way Separated Bike Lane
About one third of respondents strongly supported the concept, and another third somewhat supported this concept. 13% strongly or somewhat oppose the design.

The most common feedback in both the Phase 2 and Phase 3 surveys focused on vehicle congestion during drop-off and pick-up at Orestimba High School, as well as the high volume of pedestrian traffic in the area.

Related comments expressed a desire for traffic calming measures and increased visibility of pedestrian crossings. Three respondents wanted the redesign to focus on accommodating the high number of students walking, observing many more pedestrians than cyclists on the road. A similar number expressed support for separated bike facilities.

Other suggestions to improve the flow of traffic were to create alternative pick-up/ drop-off areas and enforce the no parking zone on the east side of Hardin Road during pick-up/ drop-off times.

Yolo Street Redesign
Summary and Preferred Design Concept
Today, Yolo Street has narrow sidewalks on both sides of the street and one travel lane in each direction. Some segments of Yolo Street have on-street parking and other segments have on-street bike lanes. The two design concepts presented in the phase 3 survey identified a consistent design for the street that include consistent sidewalks on both sides of the street, but different in the type of bike facilities and landscaping.

In the survey, residents favored Concept A, which would add a bike boulevard and traffic calming measures.

It would maintain parking and add intermittent trees. The other design option, Concept B, would implement a buffered bike lane on both sides of the street with no parking or landscaping.

Yolo Street Concept A: Bike Boulevard

Concept A received stronger overall support, with 32% of respondents selecting “strongly support” and 26% selecting “somewhat support.” Concept B received lower but still substantial support, with 19% selecting “strongly support” and another 19% selecting “somewhat support.” In the preliminary phase 2 survey, Concepts A and B were tied. Four respondents identified themselves as Yolo Street residents; their responses were evenly split between Concept A and Concept B.

14 Inyo Avenue Redesign
Summary and Preferred Design Concepts
Today, Inyo Ave has one travel lane in each direction, parking on both sides of the street, and sidewalks of varying widths on both sides of the street. Both design concepts for Inyo Ave feature a two-way bike lane on the north side of the street that would remove parking on that side of the street.

Survey respondents favored Concept B, which would create uniform sidewalks on both sides of the road and a sidewalk-level two-way separate bike lane on the north side of the street. It would include landscaping on the north side of the street and reconstructing the full right-of-way. Concept A proposed an on-street bike lane that would not impact the existing curb.

Concept B received the highest level of support amongst all respondents, and from respondents who live on Inyo Avenue. Respondents in the preliminary survey also favored Concept B.

Inyo Ave Concept B: Two-Way Separated Bike Lane
Concept B received slightly higher top-line support, with 30% of respondents selecting “strongly support” and 27% selecting “somewhat support.” Concept A drew comparable overall support, with 24% selecting “strongly support” and 36% selecting “somewhat support.” Opposition was lower for Concept B (16% selecting “somewhat oppose” or “strongly oppose”) than for Concept A (22% selecting “somewhat oppose” or “strongly oppose”). t,' -ll'.-..+-(11---+-6'~~'....-

16 Canal School Road Redesign
Summary and Preferred Design Concept
Today, Canal School Road has one travel lane in each direction and a narrow sidewalk on the west side of the street. There is a short and long-term design concept for Canal School Road to address near-term safety needs on Canal School Road while anticipating a potential future roadway realignment.

The short-term concept would add a shared-use path on the west side of Canal School Road. The long-term concept provides a shared-use path on the east side of the street, a sidewalk on the west side, and landscaping with trees on both sides in conjunction with redevelopment.

Two-thirds of respondents voiced support for the short-term/long-term design concept.

18 Bike and Pedestrian Citywide Loop
As part of this project, the City has identified the potential for a conceptual alignment for a “Citywide Loop” using streets like T Street, Hardin Road, Inyo Avenue, and Canal School Road. The Loop is envisioned as an approximately 4.5 mile continuous network of sidewalks and low-stress bicycle facilities that connect schools, parks, and key community destinations. The survey and pop-up event solicited feedback on the priority, identity, and programming of the loop.

Priorities for Loop
Residents prioritized features that would allow for a safe and comfortable user experience. The highest support was for shade and lighting, followed by green infrastructure, water refill stations, and regular seating or rest stops.

Survey Results for Citywide Loop Priorities
Experiences on Loop
Respondents ranked exercise and fitness, followed by family areas, then quiet reflection and nature immersion as their most desired experiences along the loop.

20 Other Features for Loop
Feedback reaffirmed the need for shade and lighting. Several comments suggested pet waste bins and bags to accommodate dog walkers and keep the path clean. Two comments suggested cameras for additional safety.

Some responses connected the loop to traffic calming measures and safer intersections at Highway 33 and Sherman Parkway, and Canal Street Road and Hills Ferry Road. Youth at the pop-up event believe the loop could be an avenue to highlight the creativity of local artists through murals or built structures.

Opportunity Sites
Through this project process, two opportunity sites were identified for potential redevelopment.

Opportunity Site A re-envisions the intersection at Main Street and Inyo Avenue as the southern gateway to Main Street. In the short term, mixed-use buildings with multi-family housing would be developed and some improvements would be made to the intersection. Long term, there would be a full build out of intersection improvements and the construction of a plaza on the east side of Main Street.

Opportunity Site B would create the Stanislaus Street Triangle Park by repurposing a portion of right-of-way on Stanislaus Street and Q Street to extend the existing park and attach it to the block north. Stanislaus would terminate at Q Street to remove the angled intersection between Stanislaus Street and Inyo Avenue and redirect traffic to a 90-degree intersection at Q Street and Inyo Avenue. The park would be programmed with activities.

Opportunity Sites Combined Concept
Opportunity Site A Feedback
Respondents expressed enthusiasm for this proposal, especially for long-term design. Most comments supported mixed-use housing, with one suggestion for homeless shelter at the site. Two comments opposed new housing, with one suggesting this be the site of a new police station. There was support for activating and beautifying the area.
21 Opportunity Site B Feedback
Comments were very supportive of this proposal to address what is currently a confusing and dangerous intersection. One respondent raised questions about any impact of closing off the street to residents of adjacent homes north of the park.

Priorities for Site B Park Space
Both comments and the prioritization exercise reflect residents’ desire for a dog park or pet-friendly area.

Currently, there is one dog park on the east side of Newman but none on the west side. Other priorities reflect residents’ desire for a garden and recreation areas.

Survey Results for Opportunity Site B Priorities
Conclusion
From October 2023 to January 2026, the project team conducted a variety of engagement activities to solicit Newman residents’ feedback and buy-in for the T Street Corridor Improvement and Community Connectivity Plan.

This summary highlights community members’ desire to prioritize safety for pedestrians and cyclists, particularly school aged children travelling to and from school, reduce speeding and unsafe road conditions, and preserve existing parking. The specific feedback described in the Phase 2 Full Design Concept Survey was a key step in the development of the final design concepts for T Street, Hardin Road, Yolo Avenue, Inyo Avenue, and Canal School Road.

City Council Meeting
of February 24, 2026

AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH SYN AGRO FOR THE

DREDGING, DEWATERING, TRANSPORT, AND END USE OF WASTEWATERBIOSOLIDS RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Newman City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with SynagroWWT, Inc. for the dredging, dewatering, transport, and end-use of wastewater biosolids in an amount not to exceed $2,494,285.

BACKGROUND:

The Newman Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) utilizes three primary treatment basins: the Oxidation Pond, Anaerobic Basin #1 (AB 1), and Aeration Basin #2 (AB 2). Currently, treatment capacities across all three basins are being negatively impacted by the accumulation of solids.

Through internal assessments and technical evaluations, Staff determined that AB 1 's capacity is severely compromised. This compaction has resulted in substandard treatment and reduction of organic and inorganic wastes, and is affecting the accurate monitoring and reporting of flow data. Ultimately, threatening the City's ability to meet the stringent requirements of its State Waste Discharge Permit.

ANALYSIS:

An analysis conducted by the City's wastewater engineer, Stantec, in conjunction with City Staff, confirmed that AB 1 is highly compacted with sludge and scum. This obstruction inhibits the biological treatment process and poses a direct risk of regulatory violations.

Key Findings:
• Volume: Measurements taken by Synagro-WWT, Inc. indicate approximately 2,000 dry tons of material require removal.
• Operational Necessity: Restoration of AB 1 is integral to the plant's overall efficiency and the protection of public health and safety.
• Specialized Services: The scope of work-dredging, dewatering, and identifying a legal end-use for the material-requires specialized equipment and expertise held by very few regional firms.

Staff initially engaged Synagro-WWT, Inc. for technical measurement services due to their specific expertise in the field. Following their assessment, Synagro provided a comprehensive proposal totaling $2,494,285.

Under California Public Resources Code (PRC)§ 40059, the City is permitted to enter into a contract for biosolids removal without a competitive bidding process if the project addresses a direct public health and safety concern.

Given the potential for permit violations and the necessity of maintaining sanitary sewer operations, Staff maintains that this project qualifies for direct contracting under the PRC.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project is funded by the Sewer Fund 60-50-6200. This proposal will require a budget amendment.

CONCLUSION:

City Staff recommends entering into an agreement with Synagro-WWT. Due to the severe accumulation of sludge in Anaerobic Basin# 1, immediate intervention is required to maintain compliance with the State Waste Discharge Permit and protect public health. Authorizing an agreement with Synagro-WWT, Inc. will allow for the efficient dredging and removal of approximately 2,000 dry tons of material that currently hinders the plant's treatment capacity. This $2,494,285 project utilizes specific provisions in the California Public Resources Code to bypass competitive bidding in the interest of urgent safety and environmental standards. This action ensures the continued integrity of the City's wastewater infrastructure and the overall well-being of the community.
