VISION
The Active Transportation Study is directed towards identifying permanent solutions for pedestrians and bicycle facilities through a series of pilot studies to enhance public and pedestrian safety.
BENEFITS
This project provides many health benefits to the community by encouraging more residents to participate in active transportation. This results in less vehicles on the road producing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants that negatively affect the community's health. The project also helps improve the health of the community through physical activity. Other benefits to the community include increased equity, dollars saved on fuel costs, less frequent vehicle maintenance by driving less and safer environments.
WHAT IS TACTIAL URBANISM?
Tactical Urbanism refers to low-cost, temporary inventions that use flexible materials which can be installed quickly and repositioned easily in response to user feedback.
The City will be taking a tactical urbanist approach to determine what is successful in the community. This allows the City and Consultant to implement traffic calming measures and other strategies by applying simple materials, striping, delineators, and paint, to create safe and welcoming environments for pedestrians and bicyclists.
WHY USE THIS APPROACH?
Tactical Urbanism is a widely adopted approach utilized by governments, businesses, nonprofits, community groups, and individuals to implement short-term projects that address urban challenges. This approach offers a flexible framework to achieve various outcomes, including:
• Inspiring action and innovation.
• Highlighting community needs and perceived shortcomings. • Broadening public engagement and participation.
• Enhancing understanding of urban issues through hands-on experimentation. • Collecting valuable data to inform decision-making.
• Fostering collaboration within communities.
Its adaptability, cost-effectiveness, and use of readily available materials make tactical urbanism a practical and impactful tool for driving meaningful change in urban environments.

Figure 2 Walkability and rideability ratings
A significant concern shared by multiple residents was the number of fatal pedestrian- involved collisions near Parlier Junior High School and John C. Elementary School.
Parents who participated in the survey identified safety issues along school routes that deter them from allowing their children to walk or bike to school. This creates traffic jams in the areas surrounding the schools during drop off and pick up times, causing many vehicles to idle and produce excessive greenhouse gas emissions. Some of the barriers identified through the survey include difficulty crossing at uncontrolled intersections, difficulty crossing wide roads, missing ramps at crosswalks and inaccessible wheelchair facilities. From the survey, many residents agreed that if the safety concerns were addressed, they would participate in active transportation more often. Some parents stated they would allow their children to walk to school if they felt the school route was safe and the safety of the crossings was improved.

CHAPTER 3: PUBLIC OUTREACH
Throughout the development of the plan, the City of Parlier prioritized listening and incorporating feedback from the community into the outreach plan that involved identifying various stakeholders, establishing consistent communication channels, and planning various events and pop-up exhibits to engage residents and gather their feedback.
The Parlier Active Transportation Study - Tactical Urbanism community outreach plan aimed to ensure transparency, inclusivity, and active participation of the community throughout the project's development and implementation.
Parlier Walk Audit Participants
Community members and stakeholders were invited to participate in the Advisory Committee and meetings. The Parlier Active Transportation Study - Tactical Urbanism Advisory Committee is as follows:
• City of Parlier Council Members: Diego G. Garza, Juanita Molina • City of Parlier Police Department Chief of Police: David Cerda • City of Parlier City Engineer: Javier Andrade
• Parlier Unified Supervisor: Rene Rodriguez
Parlier Unified Superintendent: Rafael Iniguez
• Parlier Unified Assistant Superintendent: Johnny Alvarado • Parlier Unified Transportation Supervisor: Tamara McKinney • Parlier Unified District Safety Coordinator: Sam Rodriguez 20 | Page
OUTREACH EVENTS
Outreach events are key opportunities to engage and inform communities, stakeholders, and other interested parties about specific projects, initiatives, or issues.
Strategies for effective outreach include identifying target audiences, choosing appropriate channels for communication, and crafting clear, accessible messaging.
Events can be held in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format, and may feature presentations, Q&A sessions, and interactive activities to foster active participation. The goal of outreach is to build awareness, gather input, and establish collaborative relationships that support the success of the project or initiative.
The Consultant, alongside the City of Parlier, actively engaged the community through a series of outreach events designed to enhance urban accessibility and promote walkability. Key events included annual pop-ups and targeted workshops, which served as platforms to foster direct dialogue with residents and gather insights on pedestrian infrastructure. At large gatherings, like the annual Parlier Round-Up, informational booths facilitated real-time feedback from community members on the city's urban design needs. These efforts were complemented by interactive activities, such as walk and bike audits, where residents, city staff, and stakeholders collaboratively evaluated critical pedestrian routes and streets, assessing conditions like sidewalk integrity, crosswalk visibility, lighting, and accessibility. Through such initiatives, the City of Parlier has been able to gather substantial input to inform infrastructure improvements, aligning community feedback with strategic planning for safer, more walkable neighborhoods.
BIKE AUDIT
The City conducted a bicycle audit to
evaluate different riding and crossing
conditions within the community. Participants
rode their bikes or scooters along Parlier
Avenue and stopped at different checkpoints
to answer questions about riding conditions.
At the end of the ride, participants took a
survey related to preferred biking or riding

conditions. The bike audit packets can be
found in the APPENDIX.
BIKE AUDIT SURVEY RESULTS
As shown in Figure 7, all participants would ride on protected separated bike lanes and elevated separated bike lanes. As the level of traffic stress increases, the participants willing to ride decreases. As depicted in Figure 8, safety concerns keep participants from riding or participating in active modes of transportation 22 | Page

CHAPTER 4: PILOT STUDIES
INTRODUCTION
Tactical urbanism initiatives allow
individuals to directly engage with
street and other design changes,
providing city officials with data
and input to better advocate for
the permanent integration of these
alterations. The Parlier Active
Transportation Study aims to gather
data to identify and recommend
future improvements for pedestrian
and bicycle facilities, utilizing pilot
studies through a tactical urbanist JC Walks Pedestrian Enhancement Plan | Jersey City, NJ approach. Different pilot studies will
evaluate different active transportation issues and implement temporary solutions to identify permanent solutions to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety to promote more active modes of transportation.
Other objectives of the pilot studies include the following:
ENHANCE STREET SAFETY
REDUCE BARRIERS TO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
CREATE SAFE & INVITING ENVIRONMENTS FOR PEDESTRIANS
INCREASE USEAGE OF BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES
ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION EVENTS
The pilot studies can range from various traffic calming demonstrations such as, bike lane striping, bike to work and school weeks, painting a thematic crosswalk and bulbouts, adding delineators or planters to narrow a road or conduct a temporary road closure to allow walking and biking to school.
Data will be collected through traffic studies, field observations and surveys. Traffic studies will be used to record car speed before and after a study. Field visits will be done to document any observed effects from a pilot study. Surveys will be used to collect feedback from participants at the end of the event. As the data is collected for each pilot study it will be analyzed to see if the study is successful or unsuccessful in improving pedestrian safety and promoting active transportation. Successful studies will 28 | Page

PILOT STUDY 2: MENDOCINO AVE CROSSWALK VISIBILITY
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Among the identified areas of concern was the crosswalk at the intersection of Mendocino Avenue and Tuolumne Street / Mulberry Lane. Visibility issues were identified at this location and the Advisory Committee wanted a way to illuminate the crosswalk at night.
The starting conditions of the crosswalk can be seen in the following image.
Photo of Crosswalk before installation of reflectors | Google Maps
OBJECTIVES
The following pilot study outcomes are anticipated:
Increased nighttime visibility of the crosswalk
Traffic Calming / Reduce vehicle speed
STRATEGY AND DESIGN
The main concern for this crosswalk was the lack of visibility at night. The approach taken to try to address this concern with temporary, low-cost improvements was installing reflectors to help illuminate the crosswalk at night.
The pilot study included adhering yellow reflectors on the crosswalk and adding white reflectors in an arrow formation adjacent to the crosswalk markings to draw more attention to the crosswalk.
PILOT STUDY ACTIVITIES
The City of Parlier focused on installing reflectors as a temporary, low-cost solution to improve nighttime visibility at a critical crosswalk. The main concern for this crosswalk was the lack of visibility at night, which posed safety risks for pedestrians. Reflectors were strategically placed along the crosswalk to enhance illumination by reflecting 38 | Page

Informational Flyer Informational flyers posted at pilot study site A bilingual flyer with information about the pilot study was posted above the pedestrian push button. The flyer included a QR code that linked users to the survey regarding the pilot study. Although crosswalk users did not provide feedback through the survey. verbal feedback from the community was given at community outreach events.
From the comments provided, the community felt that the reflectors helped make the crosswalk more visible to drivers at night, but the area still lacked lighting.
SPEED DATA
Speed data was collected for vehicles traveling along Mendocino Avenue near Tuolumne Street / Mulberry Lane. Speed data was collected south of the intersection (south leg) and north of the intersection (north leg) for both south and north bound lanes. Speed data was collected for each leg and lane before and after the pilot study, consisting of the installation of the reflectors on the crosswalk.
The findings show an increase of percentage of vehicles traveling at or below the speed limit after the installation of the reflectors, except for the northbound lane in the south leg as can be seen in Figure 16.
40 | Page
CONCLUSIONS AND OUTCOMES
PILOT STUDY OUTCOMES
The pilot study was successful in achieving the following objectives:
Increased nighttime visibility of crosswalk
Systemic improvement identified
In conclusion, the installation of reflectors is a low-cost method to draw the attention of drivers to a crosswalk at night. This can be the first phase in improving a crosswalk's visibility when the crosswalk itself is already a high-visibility crosswalk. 42 | Page

the issue of inaccessibility as there is no ADA ramp located at the north end of the proposed crosswalk site. Parlier City Council agreed to allocate funds for the installation of the ramp needed to make the crosswalk accessible. However, when quotes were obtained, they were well above the allocated budget, making the crosswalk countermeasure not feasible.
Other options were explored including temporary ramps, but ultimately rumble strips were selected as the best option for this intersection. It was anticipated that the rumble strips would draw enough attention to slow down drivers and still allow emergency services to proceed as normal.
The layout for the rumble strips was selected to eliminate the option for vehicles to avoid them. Two rows of six rumble strips were installed in both the westbound and eastbound lanes before the intersection.
PILOT STUDY ACTIVITIES
Installation of rumble strips
Rumble strips were installed after students were in class to when there is the least amount of traffic traveling on the roadway. A row of the rumble strips is shown in the following image.

PILOT STUDY 6: BUS STOP SIGNAGE
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
An identified concern for both the community and the Advisory Committee was the lack of attention to school bus stop locations. Many of the school bus stop locations do not have any signage alerting drivers to the increased pedestrian presence.
Through coordination with the
Parlier Unified School District
(PUSD) Transportation
Supervisor, the busiest school
bus stop was identified and
evaluated for potential
improvements. During the
morning site visit of the school
bus stop on Whitner Avenue,
at Veterans Park,
Morning bus pick-up at Veterans Park approximately 20 students were waiting for the school
bus. Although there are already speed humps along Whitner Ave, vehicles were witnessed speeding in the area between speed humps.
To alert drivers of the school bus stop and student presence, the Advisory Committee voted on installing signage to alert drivers.
OBJECTIVES
The following outcomes are anticipated:
Identification of a systemic improvement
Increase safety for students and parents.
Reduce vehicle speed / traffic calming.
STRATEGY AND DESIGN
Different types of signs were considered but the advisory committee wanted a sign that would be the most visible to all drivers. It was determined that an in-street sign would meet these requirements.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS
OBSERVATIONS
Vehicle traffic was observed before and after the installation of the customized signage. Prior to the installation of the signage, vehicles were observed going at a higher rate of speed through the area during school bus pick-up times. After the installation of the signage, vehicles were observed driving at slower speeds.
CONCLUSIONS AND OUTCOMES
PILOT STUDY OUTCOMES
The following objectives were achieved through the implementation of the pilot study:
Identification of a systemic improvement
Increase safety for students and parents.
Reduce vehicle speed / traffic calming.
In conclusion, the pilot study was successful in increasing awareness of the bus stop zone and promoting traffic calming. It would be recommended to take a similar approach to each of the school bus stop locations.
