Spoke:
• Joe McKenry, Manager of McCall Village, spoke on behalf of the Mobile Home Park owners, explaining events leading to the rent increase.

He reiterated the backflow provides a benefit to the McCall Village tenants, further mentioning SMC 5-5-5 and citing the right to “fair return on investment”. McKenry continued by describing his efforts to keep the increase marginal, as he stated has been depicted on the amortization schedule. Ultimately, the increase imposed is determined to be .84 cents per month and will go into effect May 1st, 2026, and will terminate April 1, 2036.
• Yvonne Viehbeck spoke in opposition to the increase, stating McCall Village ignored the law, failed to hold a meeting, and further argued the municipal codes interpretation. • Sandi Naswinder spoke in opposition to the rent increase, rebutting the statement made by McKenry that the backflow benefits the residents of McCall Village. • Mr. Forbes questioned the number of spaces subject to the increase, stating McCall Village utilizes spaces that were not included.
• Dave Aguayo argued that rent increases should equal community improvements, stating improvements have not been seen.
• Theresa Salas spoke in opposition to the increase, highlighting prior rent increases and the fixed / limited incomes of tenants. In agreement with Sandi Naswinder, she stated the backflow does not benefit the tenants; benefiting property owners outside McCall Village boundaries.
• Betty Standridge spoke in opposition, asserting the actions of Mr. McKenry and the McCall Village Mobile Home Park are retaliatory. She claimed the retaliation has taken place consistently after the adoption of Ordinance 2024-5. She made special mention of repairs that are needed throughout the park.

2-1 Action Item – Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management – Business Travel Accident Program and Other Insurance Matters as Deemed Necessary Fallert

Discussion on Item 2-1: Margee Fallert, Director of Human Resources provided information regarding the travel accident insurance program provided through the JPA. She detailed the death benefit as $100,000.00, stating the City of Selma is the only JPA member that designates the full benefit to the City.

Fallert provided the following options for Council for consideration: Designation to remain as-is, with the City as sole beneficiary, split the funds 50/50 (City / beneficiary of choice), or 100% to beneficiary of choice. Fallert further detailed the plan by providing the overall cost of the program is $33.00 annually, or $2.58 per individual.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend that the City Council receive and file the Cash and Investment Report for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

The Cash and Investment Report provides a comprehensive summary of the City’s cash and investment activities. For the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2025–2026, the City’s investments have generated interest income totaling $286,749.

Currently, the City’s investments are held across the following financial institutions:

On May 6, 2025, the City Council adopted an updated Investment Policy, which mandates the preparation of the Cash and Investment Report on a quarterly basis. This update underscores the City’s ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and compliance in managing public funds.

To ensure strong internal controls, any withdrawals by City staff from these institutions require dual approval, reinforcing the safeguarding of public assets.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Interest earned is allocated on a quarterly basis to various funds.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration and Adoption of Resolution 2026-34R Approving the Agreement with Brycer, L.P. and Brycer Advisory Group, L.P for “The Compliance Engine” to Monitor Fire Suppression and Alarm Systems and Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Execute All Associated Documents
SUBMITTED: Jordan Webster, Fire Chief
APPROVED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution 2026-34R approving the Agreement between Brycer, L.P. (Brycer), Brycer Advisory Group, L.P. (BAGLP), and the City of Selma for implementation of “The Compliance Engine,” and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all necessary documents associated with this agreement DISCUSSION:

The Fire Department is responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable provisions of the California Fire Code, including the annual inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems. These inspections are performed by certified professionals, with reports submitted to both the business owner and the Fire Department as required.

As development and commercial activity within the City continue to increase, the volume of required inspection reports has grown. The current process requires Fire Department staff to manually receive, review, and track these reports, as well as conduct follow-up on identified deficiencies. This process is time-intensive and may impact the Department’s ability to efficiently manage compliance and prioritize other fire prevention activities.

The proposed agreement with Brycer, L.P. would implement “The Compliance Engine,” a third-party system designed to streamline the submission, tracking, and review of required inspection reports. The system provides automated notifications, centralized recordkeeping, and real-time compliance tracking, allowing staff to more efficiently identify non-compliant systems and prioritize follow-up and enforcement efforts. The initial term of the agreement is three (3) years from the commencement date, which remains to be filled in upon execution. The agreement automatically renews for successive three-year periods unless either party provides written notice of termination at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. The City retains the right to terminate the agreement at any time upon 180 days' written notice to both Brycer and BAGLP.

Implementation of this system is expected to improve operational efficiency, enhance compliance with fire code requirements, and support the Department’s overall fire prevention objectives.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2026-38R approving a one-year extension for Tentative Parcel Map associated with Planning Application 2021-0012 (Extension application PLAN-26-20) (Highland & Nebraska, Selma) SUBMITTED: Megan Lawrence, City Planner
APPROVED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2026-38R approving a one-(1) year extension of the Tentative Parcel Map for Planning Application 2021-0012, extending the expiration date from May 20, 2026, to May 20, 2027.

DISCUSSION:

The applicant has requested a one-year extension to allow additional time to complete and record the Final Map. The request is due to delays associated with preparing the Final Map for submittal and recordation. The applicant’s design team is currently finalizing the necessary materials to complete the Final Map application package.

Based on staff’s review of the extension request and supporting materials, no modifications to the approved Tentative Parcel Map or associated entitlements are proposed. The project remains substantially the same as originally approved by the City Council on May 20, 2024, and continues to be consistent with the approved General Plan designation and zoning for the site.

Pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act and local regulations, a Tentative Map may be extended upon approval by the City Council. Staff have reviewed the request and find that there have been no substantial changes in circumstances that would affect the validity of the original approval. The project remains consistent with applicable land use regulations, and the extension would allow the applicant additional time to complete the Final Map process.

Staff notes that the Municipal Code requires the Final Map to be filed with the City Clerk at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date to allow for processing and recording. Given the current timeline, the requested extension is necessary to ensure the project can proceed to final map approval and recording.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with approval of the Tentative Map extension. Staff time associated with processing the request is included in the City’s operating budget. 71 Attachments:

Eligible programs:

Organizations must have their own veterinarian and veterinary professionals on staff, or must contract with or work with volunteer professionals. Their funds may be used for the direct cost of medications, drugs, vaccines, and medical supplies. The intent of your 105
program must be to help vulnerable or low-income pet owners who may not otherwise be able to access or afford veterinary care for their pets, but you do not necessarily need to screen for income eligibility. With many owned pets in need of care, our hope is to help as many as possible, and at no or as little cost as possible to the owners. While we may consider funding programs that deliver all types of veterinary care for owned pets, we prioritize free or nearly free preventive and wellness care, as well as basic care to address minor injuries and illnesses (such as ear or eye infections). If appropriate and costeffective, we may consider providing you an in-kind donation of medications or vaccines in conjunction with a grant award. With many pets in need, we may not be able to approve of funding for microchips, expensive orthopedic, specialty, or emergency care Police Grant Opportunities

6 PCE brings established relationships and a proven track record of project delivery within the City of Selma.

While not all of the projects listed below are traditional planning assignments, they reflect our ability to work effectively with City staff, understand local processes and expectations, and deliver high-quality work that meets community needs. This local experience translates directly into efficient coordination, responsiveness, and a practical understanding of how to move projects forward in Selma.

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY REAP – ADU TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (2023) PCE provided comprehensive technical assistance to the Community Development Department to facilitate the development of a pre-approved Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program for the City of Selma. PCE initiated the process with a kick-off meeting to analyze local building codes, typical permit requirements, and lessons learned from previous residential submittals. Using these insights, the project team modified 4 specific ADU plan sets, ranging in size from 375 to 910 square feet, to align with the latest Building Code and integrate City-specific branding and disclaimer language. Beyond technical drawings, the scope included the creation of a "How-to Guide" and a marketing handout designed to assist residents at the City’s front counter and on its website. Finally, PCE supported the City’s internal operations by developing an ADU-specific building permit application, a checklist, and a formal policy and procedure document for staff use.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE IN THE CITY OF SELMA
PCE worked on the text amendment to Title XI of the Selma Municipal Code to regulate billboards and offpremise advertising sign structures. A primary component of this work was the establishment of a "Billboard Enterprise Zone," a specialized corridor incorporating all non-residential zone districts located within 1,000 feet north and south of 2nd Street and within 200 feet of the Highway 99 corridor. This amendment allows for a total of 24 billboard faces within city limits, excluding existing legal nonconforming faces, and mandates that all new constructions obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The project also involved spatial analysis and GIS mapping to ensure these structures maintain a 500-foot buffer from residential zones and other billboards.

BILLBOARD BUSINESS ENTERPRISE ZONE MAPPING (2023)

3. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
PCE developed a conceptual
subdivision map and land use
layout for a mixed-use
development at the southeast
corner of Rorden and Dockery
Avenues. The layout phased 30
acres of land into high-density
affordable housing (10 acres),
medium-density housing (8.5
acres), low-density custom
homes (8.5 acres), and
commercial retail space (3
acres). The plan identified parcel
lines, right-of-way dedications,
and feasible commercial uses
like a grocery store.

CITY OF KERMAN (2021 - PRESENT)
Since 2021, PCE has provided responsive and
adaptable support to the City of Kerman’s
Community Development Department,
maintaining continuity and flexibility throughout
changes in City staffing and workload. Bonique
Emerson, VP of Planning Division, oversees our
team, with Senior Planners Jenna Chilingerian and
Shin Tu serving as project managers.

We initially provided interim director coverage,
then expanded our role to include broader staff
and technical support. Early projects included LEAP
grant deliverables, such as pre-approved ADU
plans, conceptual design programs for multifamily
and mixed-use, and processing minor entitlements.

As Kerman saw a major uptick in large residential
development applications in late 2022, PCE
managed these complex entitlements from initial
review through environmental analysis, public
hearing preparation, and project approvals. When
staffing gaps arose in 2024, we provided reliable
in-person coverage and project management,
supporting City staff with inquiries, entitlement
guidance, and major project oversight.

Currently, we continue to handle advanced
entitlements and environmental review, and are
assisting with the implementation of key General
Plan programs, including a dark sky ordinance
update, updated ADU plan sets and guidance
materials, and agricultural mitigation.

OTHER RECENT EXPERIENCES

PCE understands that the City of Selma needs more than a placeholder, it needs a trusted, experienced partner who can step in as an Interim Community Development Director, maintain operational momentum, and provide the consistent, director-level leadership the department requires. Our approach is built on three core commitments: a designated lead who is qualified, available, and accountable; a support structure deep enough to ensure continuity even as conditions evolve; and a service model that is responsive to the City Manager, elected officials, applicants, and the public alike.

Designated Leadership and Accountability. PCE will assign a single main planner, Bonique Emerson, to serve as the Interim Community Development Director for the duration of the engagement. This individual will serve as the City's primary point of contact and will maintain consistent familiarity with Selma's projects, priorities, and policy direction, preventing the knowledge gaps and handoff delays that can disrupt department operations during a leadership transition.

On-Site Presence and Availability. PCE's lead will be present at City Hall on a regular weekly basis, consistent with the RFP's requirement for 1–2 days per week, with additional remote availability to ensure that timesensitive matters are never held up by scheduling. Remote responsiveness will be structured and reliable, with clear communication protocols so that staff, applicants, and the City Manager can reach PCE's lead promptly. This combination of scheduled on-site time and accessible remote support replicates the responsiveness of an in-house director.

Depth and Bench Strength. PCE will designate qualified support planners to assist the lead director as needed, ensuring that workload surges, complex CEQA reviews, or concurrent application demands do not compromise service delivery. This team-based model, which PCE has applied successfully across multiple California cities, allows the lead director to focus on high-level management and advisory functions.

PCE will provide qualified planners and environmental specialists to perform the normal functions of a Community Development Department, including:

Day-to-day management of Community Development operations, with PCE providing steady, experienced oversight of current planning, long-range planning, and code compliance to keep projects moving, staff aligned, and decisions consistent, including on-site supervision at least one day per week to ensure continuity and responsiveness.

Serving as the City’s day-to-day planning staff—responsive and accessible to applicants, residents, and internal staff on zoning, entitlement, and CEQA questions—drawing on PCE’s experience supporting multiple California cities to resolve issues early and keep projects on track.

Managing development applications from start to finish (e.g., subdivisions, use permits, ADUs), including pre-application meetings, completeness review, application routing, and coordination with Building, Public Works, and outside agencies such as Caltrans, ensuring efficient and predictable processing.

Reviewing plans and staff work for accuracy and consistency with the General Plan, zoning, and state requirements, and preparing clear, well-supported staff reports, conditions of approval, and presentations that are practical, defensible, and easy for decision-makers to act on.

Coordinating and staffing Planning Commission meetings, including agenda preparation, report finalization, and presenting projects at public hearings with a clear, professional approach that builds confidence with both officials and the public.

Providing CEQA oversight—from straightforward exemptions to more complex reviews—leveraging PCE’s extensive environmental experience to coordinate technical studies, maintain compliance, and avoid unnecessary delays.

Supporting zoning code updates and General Plan implementation, helping translate broader policy direction into practical, day-to-day development decisions that reflect the City’s goals.

4. APPROACH
12 142
Working closely with developers, applicants, and the public to maintain clear communication, set expectations, and facilitate efficient, solutions-oriented project processing.

Coordinating across departments—including Public Works and the City Manager’s Office—to ensure alignment on development projects, priorities, and timing, consistent with how PCE supports integrated service delivery in other communities.

Advising the City Manager on planning and development matters, providing practical, experience-based input on projects, policy considerations, and community impacts to support timely, well-informed, and defensible decisions.

Reimbursable expenses are to be determined by individual projects/scopes. When reimbursable expenses are part of a scope, they will be included in the not-to-exceed proposed price.

PCE’s hourly rates are provided above. These positions are exempt and paid on a salary basis with no overtime eligibility.

Travel costs are included in hourly rates.

Sub-consultant costs are variable and based on the project/scope complexity. Costs will be charged as a flat fee based on an approved scope of work.

BILLING STRUCTURE
When provided a specific project, PCE will prepare an overall cost proposal including a breakdown of costs by activity and/or person hours allocated to each activity. Hourly rates and person-hour costs assigned will align with the personnel charge rates of the firm as identified above, or as flat costs by tasks with a “not to exceed” figure.

Monthly invoices will be submitted with a detailed breakdown of time and expenses incurred per task. Each invoice will include a budget-to-actual report comparing the original task budgets against hours and costs expended to date, along with narrative explanations for any discrepancies or adjustments.

We estimate that the weekly level of effort, inclusive of both on-site and remote support, will be approximately 12 to 25 hours per week, depending on workload demands and City priorities. This flexible approach allows us to scale our involvement as needed while ensuring consistent, reliable service and timely responsiveness. We estimate that our Planning Manager/VP of Planning will spend approximately 10 hours a week assisting the City, with most of that being on-site. For the full 25 hours, we anticipate the total weekly cost to not exceed $4,500 (weekly range of $2,400-$4,500). 144

ITEM NO: 4-4

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Discussion Item - City of Selma Sign Ordinance Overview SUBMITTED: Megan Lawrence, City Planner
APPROVED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
DISCUSSION: During regular meeting of the City Council on March 17, 2026, an informational overview of the City’s Sign Ordinance to discuss as a future agenda item. This overview includes key provisions only and is not a comprehensive overview or analysis of each section.

The City of Selma's sign regulations are codified in Title XI (Zoning), Chapter 3, Section 11-3-8 (Signs) of the Selma Municipal Code. The ordinance was most recently amended by Ord. 2024-6, effective June 17, 2024. Regulations apply to all exterior signs and sign structures, including signs affixed to the interior of windows visible from the outside.

Purpose & Content Neutrality
The ordinance regulates signs to safeguard life, health, property, and public welfare by establishing standards for size, height, structural design, materials, construction, location, illumination, and maintenance. The City regulates signs in a viewpoint-neutral and contentneutral manner consistent with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution — sign message and copy are evaluated only to determine the type and category of sign.

Sign Permit Requirements
It is unlawful to erect, alter, relocate, or modify any sign without first obtaining approval from the Community Development Department. Applications must include:
• Property owner name, address, and phone number
• Applicant (sign owner) name, address, and phone number • Sign contractor name, address, and phone number
• Location of the building/lot where the sign will be placed • Any other information required by the Community Development Department Sign permits may be applied for on OpenGov, the City’s online permitting system accessible to the community through the city’s website. Signs with a structural component may also require a building permit, subject to separate review and fees based on size and valuation of the proposed sign. Billboards, including electronic reader boards, require a Conditional Use Permit, in addition to an approved Sign and Building Permit.

Sign permit fees are as follows:

Permanent Sign: $590 fixed fee
Temporary Sign: $235 fixed fee
Banner/Pole Hanging Fee: $265 fixed fee
Conditional Use Permit: $4,470 fixed fee
153
Exempt Signs (No Permit Required)

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Discussion Item - Old Police Department Parking Lot Conversion SUBMITTED: David Horn, City Engineer
APPROVED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
BACKGROUND:

The City of Selma owns a parking lot located northwest of the downtown area, formerly utilized as a secure parking facility for the Selma Police Department. The lot is currently fenced, gated, and locked, and is not actively used by the City. The site has remained inactive following the relocation of Police Department operations.

The City Council and City Manager have directed Engineering Staff to review the feasibility of converting the existing gated lot into an open public parking lot to serve downtown visitors and patrons, consistent with the City's ongoing efforts to support and revitalize the downtown area.

DISCUSSION:

Site Review
The City Engineer and the Public Works Director conducted a site visit to assess the existing condition of the parking lot. The site review evaluated the physical condition of the pavement, fencing, gates, perimeter improvements, and adjacent public sidewalks. Based on the site visit, Engineering Staff identified the improvements necessary to convert the lot from a secured, gated facility to an open and accessible public parking lot.

Improvements identified include, but are not limited to: removal of existing gates and associated hardware, repair or reconstruction of the parking lot surface, installation of appropriate parking lot striping and signage, reconstruction of adjacent public sidewalks to meet current City standards and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, reconstruction of the two drive approaches serving the parking lot, and minor landscaping and irrigation modifications due to demolition.

Preliminary Opinion of Cost
Engineering Staff have developed a Preliminary Opinion of Cost for the proposed improvements. The preliminary total project cost is estimated at $175,800. This figure represents an order-of-magnitude estimate based on the site observations and anticipated scope of work and is subject to refinement as the project scope is further defined during design. 167

A breakdown of the preliminary project costs is provided below:

Design $ 15,000
Construction $ 140,800
Construction Management/Inspections/Testing $ 20,000
$175,800
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding Opportunity The City Engineer discussed the proposed project with Fresno County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) staff to evaluate whether the project would be eligible for CDBG funding. County staff indicated agreement with the project's eligibility, noting that the reconstruction of adjacent public sidewalks to meet current City and ADA standards satisfies CDBG program requirements.

The City of Selma's CDBG funding allocation for the current program year has been confirmed by Fresno County staff this week in the amount of $224,000. This allocation exceeds the preliminary project cost estimate of $175,800, potentially allowing the full scope of the project to be funded through CDBG reimbursement. CDBG funds would be available for reimbursement to the City following execution of the required funding agreements, anticipated in August 2026.

It should be noted that, at this time, this project has not yet been formally committed to the CDBG program. If directed by the City Council, the City Engineer will confirm with Fresno County staff that this project will be formally proposed for the CDBG funds allocated to the City of Selma.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The preliminary estimated project cost is $175,800. Should the City Council direct staff to pursue CDBG funding for this project, and upon execution of the required agreements with Fresno County, the project costs would be eligible for reimbursement through the City's FY 26/27 CDBG allocation of $224,000.

The City would be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the parking lot as a public facility following project completion. Estimated annual maintenance costs are not included in this report and would be addressed at a future date.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2026-40R Accepting the City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study
SUBMITTED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
APPROVED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 2026-40R accepting the City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study.

DISCUSSION:

In March 2023, the City of Selma applied for a Sustainable Transportation Planning (STP) Grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), resulting in a successful award. The city's planning initiative, named the "City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study," was a proactive endeavor aimed at shifting residents' transportation preferences towards active modes of travel, thereby reducing overall vehicle miles within the community. The primary objective is to enhance the safety, accessibility, and convenience of local transportation for active modes, with active participation from Selma residents and community organizations.

This project ran from January 2024 to April 2026. The study provides evaluations and findings from the pilot studies carried out and provides recommendations that the City of Selma can utilize to inform ongoing and future investment towards safe streets and active transportation infrastructure improvements. Formal adoption of the study makes it an official city planning document, enabling it to be referenced in future grant applications. Additionally, this study has generated two funded capital improvement projects – Thompson Avenue/Lewis Street (HSIP Cycle 12) and Rose Avenue/Locust Street (FCOG SRTS).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total project cost was $300,000, of which the STP grant awarded to the City of Selma covered

88.53% ($265,590) the remaining 11.47% ($34,410) was covered through the City of Selma's Local Transportation Funds.

5 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study was a community-informed planning effort focused on testing solutions and strategies that can improve safety and accessibility for people walking and bicycling throughout Selma. As an underserved community facing street safety risks and barriers to active transportation, Selma requires solutions to address the safety concerns of Selma residents that are effective and supported by local data. The City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study applied the tactical-urbanism approach to test short-term, low-cost pilot safety countermeasures at priority locations identified through community input and historic crash data. Crash history, roadway safety analysis, and field observations were paired with input from residents to select locations where the pilot studies would have the greatest impact.

1.2 TACTICAL URBANISM
Tactical Urbanism refers to low-cost, temporary interventions that use materials which can be installed quickly and adjusted easily in response to user feedback. This allows communities to test traffic calming measures and other strategies by applying low-cost and quick-installation materials such as striping, delineators, and paint, to create safer and more welcoming streetscape environments for pedestrians and bicyclists. The pilot studies can range from various traffic calming demonstrations such as, temporary bike lane striping, painting a temporary thematic crosswalk and bulb-outs, adding delineators or planters to narrow a road or conduct a temporary road closure to allow walking and biking to school. Temporary demonstrations allow residents to experience improvements firsthand while providing the decisionmakers with real-world performance data. Table 1 shows an overview of the tactical urbanism process and how it results in real community-based solutions.

7 PILOT STUDIES
The City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study consisted of collecting data through traffic studies, field observations and surveys. Traffic studies were used to record vehicle speed before and after a pilot study. Effects from a pilot study on the behavior of road users were also documented through field observations. Surveys were used to collect feedback from participants and community members after each pilot study. As the data was collected for each pilot study it was analyzed to see if the study was successful or unsuccessful in improving pedestrian safety. Studies were analyzed to determine if the temporary changes or traffic calming strategies could be applied to other areas in Selma with similar barriers or issues.

Findings from the pilot studies were utilized to identify strategies to accelerate Selma’s transition towards a more active transportation focused community to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The City of Selma will be able to utilize the findings from this study to support ongoing efforts to obtain future funding to implement the recommended transportation improvements.

Through pilot studies, the City tested temporary safety countermeasures including curb extensions, high-visibility crosswalk enhancements, thematic pavement treatments, hardened centerline elements, delineators, botts’ dots, and speed cushions. The pilot studies combined before and after speed data, pedestrian activity observations, community surveys, and field reviews to evaluate how each treatment affected driver behavior, pedestrian visibility, and perceived safety. Overall, the pilot studies showed that temporary, low-cost interventions can help reduce vehicle speeds, improve crossing visibility, and build community support for permanent improvements when tailored to the specific conditions of each location. Based on these findings, this study recommends targeted permanent improvements such as bulb-outs, rectangular rapid flashing beacons, pedestrian lighting, ADA curb ramps, sidewalk gap closures, in-street warning signs, daylighting, and additional traffic calming measures to improve walking and bicycling safety throughout the City of Selma.

1.3 PROJECT STUDY & GOALS
The purpose of this study was to test roadway safety countermeasures and strategies that are effective and appropriate for the Selma community to improve street safety and encourage more residents to walk and bike. This study was intended to help identify practical, community-supported solutions and safety countermeasures that enhance safety, accessibility, and convenience for people traveling by foot or bicycle. The pilot studies tested temporary traffic-calming and safety countermeasures to evaluate their impact on residents’ transportation habits. Additionally, they provided Selma with real-world data about how to better meet the community’s transportation safety, accessibility, and convenience needs in future walking and bicycling infrastructure improvement projects.
186
9 1.4 PROJECT BACKGROUND & COMMUNITY PROFILE
This study was initiated because Selma residents have consistently identified barriers that make walking and biking feel unsafe, inconvenient, and less appealing than traveling by car. Through previous outreach and planning efforts, the community expressed concerns about limited safe spaces for active transportation, difficulty crossing streets, and pedestrian visibility and safety issues across the city. In response, the City of Selma saw the need for a practical, community-informed study that could test potential improvements in real-world settings, determine which strategies would be most effective locally, and create a roadmap for safer, healthier, and more accessible streets.

CALENVIROSCREEN 4.0
The City of Selma is designated as an underserved community through multiple statedeveloped metrics. CalEnviroScreen 4.0 identifies communities experiencing the greatest combined environmental and socioeconomic burdens by measuring indicators such as pollution exposure, environmental effects, sensitive populations, and socioeconomic vulnerability. According to the most recent CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data, all four census tracts comprising Selma are ranked within the top 25th percentile statewide of communities most disproportionately burdened by a combination of pollution sources, with several tracts exceeding 95th percentile for cumulative population and socioeconomic burden. The census tracts that comprise the City of Selma are the following:
• Census Tract: 6019007003
• Census Tract: 6019007100
• Census Tract: 6019007002
• Census Tract: 6019007004
CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data shows that Selma experiences higher cumulative environmental and socioeconomic burdens than 90% of census tracts statewide.

CALIFORNIA HEALTHY PLACES INDEX MAP
The California Healthy Places Index (HPI) provides a data-driven measure of community conditions that influence health and well-being. HPI evaluates factors such as economic conditions, education, transportation access, housing, environmental quality, healthcare access, and neighborhood conditions, making it useful for identifying disparities. According to the California Healthy Places Index, Selma ranks at 187
10 approximately the 21st percentile. While the City of Selma is divided into multiple census tracts, the majority of the populated central area and its surrounding tracts rank below the 25th percentile of healthy community conditions compared to other California cities and towns. Selma also scores low on various other HPI community characteristics such as environment, transportation, and healthcare access.

1.5 CONSISTENCY WITH STATE & REGIONAL GOALS
The City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study (Study) is intended to provide the City of Selma with recommendations to help the city be aligned with the California Transportation Plan 2050. The California Transportation Plan 2050 establishes broad transportation goals that include improving roadway safety for all users and encouraging multimodal transportation to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The Study advances these statewide goals by providing local real-world data gathered from low-cost temporary pilot studies designed to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety, encourage active transportation, and reduce reliance on personal vehicles. The recommendations provided as a result of this study are geared towards enhancing crosswalk visibility, vehicle traffic calming, and improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The project supports the state's goals of reducing traffic-related injuries while expanding multimodal options.

The City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study is consistent with the goals of the California Transportation Plan 2050 in the following ways:
• Improves roadway safety for all users
• Encourages multimodal transportation and accessibility for all users • Provides recommendations to remove transportation burdens in a disadvantaged community
• Provides technical and community-based data for transportation improvement decision-making
• Promotes community engagement
• Supports long-term implementation strategies
The City of Selma Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study also provides Selma with recommendations to help the city achieve the regional transportation goals established by the Fresno Council of Governments Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The study supports several regional priorities that include:
188
11 • Enhancing multimodal connectivity to key destinations • Improving air quality by encouraging non-motorized modes of transportation • Expanding active transportation options
• Encouraging shifts away from single occupant vehicle trips The Study provides findings and recommendations for transportation improvements that enhance safety, expand multimodal transportation options, and reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicle trips. The tactical urbanism pilot studies demonstrate traffic calming measures, pedestrian crossing improvements, and bicycle facility enhancements that encourage walking and bicycling while improving roadway safety. These strategies help reduce vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions, consistent with state and regional climate and air quality goals. The Study provides recommendations for advancing multimodal transportation, safe walking and biking, and equitable access throughout the city, aligning with regional RTP/SCS goals.

12 CHAPTER 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS & SAFETY

ANALYSIS

2.1 REGULATORY & DOCUMENT REVIEW
Relevant traffic collision data and documentation pertaining to local active transportation, traffic calming measures, and roadway safety issues were reviewed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the current active transportation conditions in Selma. This included the following sources:
• City of Selma Local Roadway Safety Plan
• City of Selma Active Transportation Plan
• Selma General Plan 2035
• Existing Zoning Ordinances

LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN (LRSP)
Selma's crash history revealed that the most common types of fatal and severe injury crashed are:
• Vehicle-pedestrian crashes
• Rear-end collisions
• Hit-object crashes
The primary contributing factors in these severe collisions include:
• Pedestrian violations
• Failure to yield the right of way
• Driving under the influence (DUI)
Notably, pedestrians and bicyclists are overrepresented in fatal and severe injury crashes. For instance, out of eleven fatal crashes analyzed, three involved pedestrians and three involved bicyclists.

The Local Roadway Safety Plan recommends a multifaceted approach to improve roadway safety. Engineering strategies include modifying high-risk intersections and corridors, enhancing pedestrian crossings, and improving traffic signage. The LRSP recommends educating the community by launching a public awareness campaign focusing on pedestrian safety, DUI prevention, and traffic laws. Additionally, the plan 190
13 calls for increased police presence and enforcement in areas with higher incidences of collisions. These strategies are designed to address the specific safety challenges identified in Selma’s crash data.

CITY OF SELMA ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN (ATP) 2018
The City of Selma’s 2018 Active Transportation Plan (ATP) establishes a strategic framework to transform the city into a walkable and bike-friendly community. Several
challenges were identified in Selma’s existing pedestrian and bicycle network. Selma has zero miles of dedicated
bikeways, creating high-stress environments for bicyclists with most arterial and collector streets rated as level of traffic stress (LTS) 3 or 4. Additionally, between 2011 and 2015, pedestrians and bicyclists accounted for 83% of
traffic fatalities and 53% of severe injuries, despite
making up a small fraction of total collisions.

Selma’s ATP outlines a comprehensive "build-out"
network to connect residents to schools, parks, and
commercial centers. This includes establishing a bicycle network with over 50 miles of new bicycle facilities.

Recommendations for pedestrian facilities include over
6 miles of new sidewalks, improved crosswalk treatments and ADA-compliant curb ramps. Estimated costs for the
improvements to the bicycle and pedestrian network
were $18.0 million (2018 dollars).

Selma’s ATP was used as a roadmap for tactical
urbanism by identifying the high-stress areas that can be targeted for quick-build demonstrations. By focusing on "complete streets," the Active Transportation Plan aligns with the goal of creating a comfortable network for
everyone, from kids walking to school to seniors visiting the Senior Center. It specifically prioritizes filling sidewalk gaps and adding high-visibility crosswalks to slow down traffic and making Selma streets safe for all road users.

14 EXISTING ZONING ORDINANCES
The City of Selma's 2024 Zoning Code Update, finalized in June 2024, provided a revision to the city's zoning ordinances. Prepared by the Planning Division of the Community Development Department, with assistance from Rincon Consultants, Inc., the document outlines the framework for land use and development within Selma. • General Provisions (Chapter 1): Establishes the purpose, applicability, and authority of the zoning code, including the establishment of zoning districts, zoning maps, and guidelines for interpreting zoning boundaries. • Zoning Districts and Allowable Uses (Chapter 2): Details the classifications for residential (single-family and multi-family), commercial, manufacturing, combining zones, and open space districts, specifying the allowable uses within each.
• General Regulations Applicable to All Zones (Chapter 3): Covers development standards, regulations for storage containers, accessory buildings and structures, off-street parking requirements, landscaping standards, and guidelines for fences, walls, hedges, lighting, signs, and mobile home parks. • Standards for Specific Land Uses and Activities (Chapter 4): Provides specific regulations for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior ADUs, home occupations, child care facilities, interim school facilities, outdoor dining, alcoholic beverage sales, and adult businesses.
• Nonconformities (Chapter 5): Established how lawful existing parcels, structures, and uses that no longer comply with the current zoning code may continue under limited conditions, while making clear that the City intends to phase out nonconformities over time.
• Permit Processing (Chapter 6): Outlines the procedures for filing, reviewing, and approving zoning-related permits and applications in Selma. • Zoning Ordinance Administration (Chapter 7): Describes how the zoning ordinance is administered and enforced by the City, including the responsibilities of the Planning Agency, City Council, Community Development Director, and Planning Commission.
• Definitions/Use Classifications (Chapter 8): Provides the definitions of key zoning terms and establishes the land use classifications used throughout the code.

SELMA GENERAL PLAN 2035
The Selma General Plan emphasizes safe, efficient and multimodal transportation networks, including pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. The Selma Tactical Urbanism 192
15 Study directly supports these goals by identifying street and crosswalk improvements, and traffic calming measures to make walking and biking safer and more accessible throughout Selma.

2.2 TRAFFIC COLLISION DATA ANALYSIS
COLLISION DATA – TIMS SWITRS
The TIMS Crash Data Summary tool, developed by UC Berkeley SafeTREC, compiles collision data from the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and allows users to visualize trends by location, time, and contributing factors. This tool was used to analyze crash data and identify priority locations for pilot studies, supporting data-driven traffic safety decisions.

Data indicates Selma faces a sustained and multifaceted traffic safety challenge affecting motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other roadway users. Data from TIMS for January 2017 – September 2025 is summarized in below in Table 2. During this period a total of 499 reported traffic crashes occurred within Selma city limits, resulting in 712 total victims, including 17 fatalities and 695 injuries. Nearly all crashes (99.4%) were successfully geocoded and mapped, providing a reliable spatial representation of collision patterns throughout the city.

Table 2 TIMS Crash Results
TIMS Crash Results
January 2017 – September 2025
Total crashes 499
Total Victims 712 (17 Fatalities & 695 Injuries)
State Highway 148 (29.7%)
Pedestrians Involved 47 (9.4%)
Bike Involved 33 (6.6%)
Motorcycle involved 14 (2.8%)
Crash severity data in Figure 1 shows that while fatal crashes represent a relatively small share of total collisions (3.2%), injury crashes dominate the dataset. Crashes involving complaints of pain account for the largest portion (64.1%), followed by other visible injuries (25.7%) and severe injuries (7.0%). This distribution highlights that although most crashes are not fatal, a significant proportion still result in physical harm requiring 193
16 medical attention, underscoring ongoing public safety concerns on Selma’s roadway network.

Figure 1 Number of Crashes by Crash Severity in Selma CA Jan 2017- Sep 2025 Analysis by crash type indicates that rear-end collisions (34.3 %) and broadside (angle) crashes (25.9%) are the most common, together accounting for more than half of all crashes citywide. Sideswipes (10.2%) and crashes involving fixed objects (10.0%) are also notable, while head-on crashes, though less frequent (6.0%), remain particularly concerning due to their higher injury severity potential.

Additionally, vehicle-pedestrian crashes account for 8.6% of all collisions, reflecting meaningful exposure risk for people walking within Selma. Temporal trends reveal that crashes occur most frequently on weekdays, particularly Fridays, with higher concentrations during midday and afternoon hours (12:00 PM to 5:59 PM). This pattern aligns with typical commuting, school dismissal, and commercial activity periods, suggesting that traffic volumes and mixed roadway use significantly influence collision risk. Evening crashes remain prevalent as well, especially between 6:00 PM and 8:59 PM, while overnight crash activity is comparatively limited.

Primary Crash Factor (PCF) data further clarifies behavioral contributors to collisions.

The most common contributing factor is unsafe speed, responsible for 22.92 percent of crashes with an identified PCF. Other leading factors include automobile right-of-way Fatal Injury (Severe) Injury (Other

17 violations (25.3%), improper turning (10.6 %), and following too closely (7.1%). Alcoholor drug-related driving is present but less dominant, accounting for approximately 3.65 percent of crashes. These findings point to a combination of speed management, intersection control, and driver behavior as central issues affecting roadway safety in Selma.

Pedestrian-involved crashes, totaling 47 incidents, provide additional insight into safety conditions for people walking in Selma. Over 40 percent of these crashes occurred while pedestrians were crossing at marked crosswalks, while 34 percent occurred outside of crosswalks. Driver failure to yield right-of-way to pedestrians is the leading violation, accounting for nearly 32 percent of pedestrian crashes. Lighting conditions play a meaningful role, with over 44 percent of pedestrian crashes occurring during darkness (with or without street lighting), and under clear weather conditions, indicating that visibility and driver awareness, rather than adverse weather, are the primary contributing crash factors.

The prevalence of speed-related and right-of-way violations, along with the dominance of crashes occurring in clear weather and daylight conditions, indicates that roadway design, traffic operations, and driver behavior are the primary determinants of crash occurrence and severity within the city. To ensure that the pilot studies were responsive to local conditions and community concerns, the Consultant compiled collision data alongside input gathered through public workshops, surveys, and community outreach efforts to develop Figure 3 and Figure 4. These figures were presented to the Advisory Committee for analysis and discussion of high-injury corridors, patterns of pedestrian and bicyclist-involved incidents, and areas flagged by residents as unsafe or difficult to navigate.

20 2.3 SITE VISTS
Site visits were conducted at each of the locations, identified as a high-priority by the community and concurred by the Advisory Committee. The multi-day traffic and pedestrian safety assessment focused on four high-traffic school-adjacent intersections to evaluate pedestrian activity, vehicular behavior, and overall safety conditions. Site visits were conducted during morning and afternoon peak hours to observe traffic flow and pedestrian usage patterns.

The pilot studies focused on the following street intersections included the following locations:
• Thompson Avenue & Lewis Street
• Rose Avenue & Locust Street
• Mitchell Avenue & Nebraska Avenue
• Wright Street & Burnham Street

THOMPSON AVENUE & LEWIS STREET
This intersection contains critical safety challenges. The wide, four-lane configuration encourages high-speed travel, and the existing pedestrian infrastructure does not sufficiently address pedestrian safety concerns. Although a pedestrian-activated rectangular rapid flashing beacon is installed, it can be challenging for drivers to notice the signage and flashing lights because it's located within the sidewalk area and away from the natural field of view of oncoming vehicle traffic. The specific safety risks documented included:
• High vehicle speeds and insufficient traffic-calming measures. • Mid-lane student drop-offs and illegal u-turns creating unpredictable vehicle movement.
• A near-miss incident involving a student and a pickup truck accelerating toward the crosswalk.

ROSE AVENUE & LOCUST STREET
Inadequate visibility and the minimal high-visibility pedestrian signage contributed to unsafe crossing conditions at this location. Pedestrians were observed entering the wide, four-lane roadway hesitantly and after prolonged waiting for drivers to yield; an indication of insufficient traffic calming and unsafe crossing infrastructure. 198
21 MITCHELL AVENUE & NEBRASKA AVENUE
This intersection, located near a school drop-off zone, experienced a significant buildup of eastbound vehicular traffic around 7:50 A.M. A school crossing guard was actively assisting student crossings, effectively managing pedestrian flow and ensuring the safety of the students crossing. However, concerns were noted regarding students waiting and walking within the roadway at the southeast corner, placing them at risk due to the proximity of moving vehicles. The presence of the crossing guard was a crucial safety asset during the peak traffic period.

WRIGHT STREET & BURNHAM STREET
The Wright Street and Burnham Street intersection contains a high-visibility yellow crosswalk with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs). However, during the field visit it was observed that some drivers do not fully stop while pedestrians are in the crosswalk, often passing within a few feet of students. Parked vehicles near the intersection reduce visibility and block pedestrians from approaching drivers. 199
22 CHAPTER 3 COMMUNITY & STAKEHOLDER

ENGAGEMENT

3.1 OUTREACH METHODOLOGY
Community events and surveys were
conducted to gather community input about
the priority locations for pilot studies. In order for
community members to take part in these
events and provide their input, flyers were
shared on social media platforms and the City
of Selma’s website. Physical flyers were
distributed in public areas to increase the
participation of the community, including
underserved community members. The public
engagement events were scheduled to take
place during different times of the day and
different days of the week to accommodate
different schedules. For example, one of these
community engagement events took place on
Friday June 28, 2024, at a Selma Block Party
from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, providing an evening
engagement opportunity for residents to
provide input about priority locations.

Another community engagement
event took place on Wednesday
October 16, 2024, at the 2024
Indianola Elementary School Fall
Festival from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. In
addition to the in-person
community engagement events,
survey collection allowed for further
expanding the reach of the public
outreach to solicit public input Downtown Selma Summer Block Party Participants 200
23 about the priority street safety concerns. Participants were asked a series of questions regarding active transportation, walkability challenges, and barriers, and were also asked to identify specific areas within the city where they face these issues.

A Safe Streets Website was
created to document and
showcase the progress of the
project. The website highlighted
the progression of the first pilot
study and provided public access
to project resources, including
surveys and frequently asked
questions. To ensure broader
community participation, the
surveys were also made available
in paper form so that residents
without internet access or those less comfortable with technology could still share their needs and concerns. The survey findings informed the selection of locations for the pilot studies. In total, the survey received 164 responses from community members.

SELMA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT – PARENTSQUARE APPLICATION In addition to in-person survey
collection and the informational
website, the Selma Unified School
District used its online

24 reach a large audience and ensured that input from families across the district was considered in the study.

3.2 SUMMARY OF PUBLIC INPUT
Survey responses highlighted problems like missing ADA curb ramps, and crosswalks that are difficult to cross due the width of the street. Respondents pointed out safety issues on the way to school that make them hesitant about letting their kids walk or bike. Because of this, parents would rather drive their children to school, which leads to traffic jams around schools during drop-off and pick-up time, with cars idling for extended periods of time. Survey responses indicate that residents would generally be more likely to walk or bike if their safety concerns were addressed. The same was true with parents of students who indicated that they’d let their children walk to school if the routes felt safer.

Altogether, people listed over 130 intersections around Selma that they think are unsafe for walking and biking. Out of all the intersections mentioned through all the community engagement, the following four intersections were disproportionately identified by residents as the intersections of highest concern for pedestrian and bicyclist safety.
• Thompson Avenue & Lewis Street – Active transportation to Selma High School compromised by speeding vehicles, illegal U-turns, and a very long street crossing distance.
• Rose Avenue & Locust Street - Active Transportation to Woodrow Wilson Elementary School compromised by speeding, a need for daylighting and a very wide crossing distance.
• Mitchell Avenue & Nebraska Avenue - Active transportation to Eric White Elementary School compromised by drivers not yielding to pedestrians and high vehicle speeds leading to the crosswalk.
• Wright Street & Burnham Street – Active transportation to Andrew Jackson Elementary School compromised by poor visibility of pedestrians at crosswalk and vehicle speeding concerns.

27 CHAPTER 4 TACTICAL URBANISM PILOT STUDIES

4.1 PILOT STUDY METHODOLOGY
Tactical urbanism consists of a low-cost, community-driven approach that uses temporary installations to test and refine street and public space improvements, also known as pilot studies. This approach allows individuals to directly engage with proposed changes, offering valuable real-world data and input that decisionmakers can use to advocate for permanent improvements at the location studied and guide long-term transportation planning efforts. By testing temporary solutions, communities are able to evaluate their effectiveness in improving safety and encouraging active modes of transportation. This process results in data-driven, community-supported strategies for creating more equitable, accessible, and vibrant transportation facilities and public spaces.

Pilot studies can range from various traffic calming demonstrations such as painting thematic crosswalks and bulb-outs, adding delineators or planters to narrow roads, or conducting temporary road closures to create safer routes for walking and biking to school. These targeted interventions are meant to create a safer environment around key community areas, such as school zones, while also building community awareness and support for long-term improvements.

Objectives of the pilot studies include the following:

ENHANCE STREET SAFETY

REDUCE BARRIERS TO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION

CREATE SAFE AND INVITING ENVIRONMENTS FOR PEDESTRIANS

INCREASE USEAGE OF BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES

ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION EVENTS
205
28 4.2 IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY
The pilot studies were focused near Selma schools, recognizing the need to enhance safety and encourage active transportation for students. Data was collected through traffic studies, field observations, and community surveys. Traffic studies recorded vehicle speeds before and after each pilot installation to measure impact. Site visits were conducted to observe and document any changes in traffic behavior or pedestrian activity. Surveys gathered direct feedback from participants, including students and parents, after each pilot study. The data from each pilot study was analyzed to determine whether the intervention effectively improved pedestrian safety and promoted walking and biking. Successful studies will help guide future investments in active transportation improvements.

4.3 PILOT STUDY 1 FINDINGS & EVALUATION

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND
Based on public input, on-site evaluations, and
guidance from the Advisory Committee, the
first pilot study location was selected at the
intersection of Thompson Avenue and Lewis
Street, adjacent to the west entrance of Selma
High School’s Staley Athletic Stadium. The
intersection serves as a key access point
behind the high school and is frequently used
by students walking to and from school events
and nearby neighborhoods. Thompson
Avenue consists of a wide, four-lane
configuration that functions as a local
collector street, which encourages higher Community members participating in Pilot Study 1
206
29 vehicle speeds. The intersection includes a marked high-visibility crosswalk and a pedestrian-activated, double-sided Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB).

However, the beacon signage is positioned within the sidewalk area, which can make it less visible to approaching drivers. The intersection does not include dedicated bicycle facilities, and parked vehicles near the crossing can reduce visibility between drivers and pedestrians.

Site observations and community feedback identified several safety concerns, including high vehicle speeds, limited traffic-calming features, mid-lane student dropoffs, and illegal U-turns that create unpredictable vehicle and pedestrian movements.

Due to the combination of frequent student activity, wide roadway geometry, and documented safety risks, the intersection was identified as an ideal location for a tactical urbanism pilot study focused on curb extensions and improvements to narrow the roadway and enhance pedestrian visibility.

The Advisory Committee recommended implementing the pilot study during Selma Unified School District’s 2025 Spring Break to minimize school traffic conflicts and provide an opportunity for Selma High School students to participate in the installation.

PILOT STUDY 1 OBJECTIVES
PILOT STUDY 1 IMPLEMENTATION
The pilot study was implemented through a coordinated process that included site preparation, and community participation. Prior to the event, project partners coordinated logistics such as traffic control, materials, site layout, and safety procedures to ensure the activity could be conducted safely. The proposed layout and improvements can be seen in the exhibit prepared in Figure 8. Bulb-out locations were measured, marked, and pre-painted in advance to provide clear outlines for the installation. Color selections and stencil designs were also determined beforehand to reflect the local school identity and to simplify the painting process for participants. 207
30 To minimize disruption for nearby residents, traffic detours and traffic control plans were prepared
and implemented as shown in Figure 6. A Notice
to Residents was also distributed to inform the
community of upcoming traffic pattern changes
and recommended alternative routes during the
implementation of the pilot study. The notice and
traffic control plan was shared on the city website
and city social media pages 10 days before the
study.

On the day of the event, participants checked in,
received a brief orientation and safety
instructions, and were provided with materials
including gloves, paint brushes, kneeling pads,
and pre-filled paint containers. Pre-cut stencils
with designated color guides were used within
each bulb-out to create consistent design
elements, including circular patterns and a bear
paw representing the school mascot.

After the painting was completed, temporary traffic-calming elements were installed to reinforce the pilot design. Flexible, reflective delineators were placed along the bulb-outs to visually and physically narrow the roadway, and an additional bear paw marking was applied within the existing high-visibility crosswalk. The completed improvements can be seen in Figure 7. This step-by-step approach demonstrates a practical framework for implementing tactical urbanism pilot projects that can be replicated at other locations throughout the city.

31 A community survey was conducted to gather feedback on the crosswalk improvements at Thompson Avenue and Lewis Street, distributed through the Selma Unified ParentSquare App and the City of Selma website and social media accounts. 17 of the 42 respondents reported using the crosswalk daily or several times a week, confirming its importance for school-related pedestrian traffic. Over half of respondents stated that the crosswalk felt safer, more visible, and easier to cross, citing appreciation for the bold colors, and increased driver awareness. Many supported applying similar improvements to other school areas.

However, not all survey respondents had positive opinions about the pilot study. Some expressed concern that vehicle speeds and driver yielding had not improved, noting continued reckless driving and disregard for pedestrian right-of-way. Common requests included stop signs, flashing lights, speed bumps, and stronger police enforcement. Some respondents expressed concerns with reduced on-street parking due to the space taken up by the painted bulb-outs, which signals that further community engagement will be needed prior to implementing hardscape improvements that may affect the availability of on-street parking.

Additional comments included enhancing night visibility with lighting and reflective materials, increasing supervision during school drop-off and pick-up hours. While the majority of survey respondents appreciated the temporary safety improvements, many called for stronger traffic calming and enforcement measures to ensure lasting pedestrian safety.

35 PILOT STUDY 1 CHANGES IN VEHICLE SPEED AND DRIVER BEHAVIOR Overall, the pilot study successfully reduced vehicle speeds, shifting the majority of traffic from the 35–45 mph range to the 25–35 mph range. Speeds of 45mph and up which have a high likelihood of resulting in a fatality in a crash, saw steep declines.

There was also an increase in lower-speed compliance, particularly in the northbound direction, indicating improved safety outcomes. Table 7 below shows a summary of the changes in vehicle speed and driver behavior. The complete data collected can be found in the Appendices.

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND
The intersection of Rose Avenue and Locust Street was identified by the community as having poor sightlines and inadequate high-visibility pedestrian signage. Prior to the study’s implementation, pedestrians were observed entering the wide, four-lane roadway hesitantly and after prolonged waiting for drivers to yield; an indication of insufficient traffic calming and unsafe crossing infrastructure. The intersection was identified as an appropriate candidate for pedestrian safety improvements due to several factors: along a school route for Wilson Elementary School, high vehicle speeds and wide roadway width. To minimize impacts during peak school travel, the Advisory Committee recommended conducting the pilot during the Selma Unified School District’s summer break.

This Tactical Urbanism Safe Streets Study provided an opportunity to test zig-zag pavement markings as a traffic calming measure and evaluate its effectiveness in Selma. Used for decades in the United Kingdom (UK) to alert drivers about upcoming pedestrian crossings (often at “zebra crossings”), these distinctive, non-linear markings draw driver attention, prohibit parking within the approach zone, and prompt greater caution. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2021, there were 7,388 pedestrian fatalities in the US. Of these, approximately 1,182 fatalities occurred at intersections, where marked crosswalks are typically located.

While the data doesn't isolate incidents specifically at marked crosswalks, the sheer volume of fatalities points to a greater overall risk for pedestrians at intersections. Data for 2021 from the UK’s Department for Transport revealed that there were only 13 fatalities at zebra crossings. The contrast between the UK’s 13 pedestrian fatalities at zebra crossings and the United States’ 1,182 at intersections underscores the need for effective, self-enforcing design.

In addition to high-visibility striping, the study incorporated botts’ dots, curb extensions, in-street pedestrian crossing signs and flexible delineator posts. Botts’ Dots provide an audible and tactile cue by creating noticeable vibration and tire noise that prompt inattentive drivers to refocus and slow down as they approach a crosswalk or a stopcontrolled intersection. Curb extensions, also called ‘bulb-outs’, extend the sidewalk into the roadway to narrow the street, shorten pedestrian crossing distance, improve sight lines between pedestrians and drivers, and help calm vehicle speeds. The instreet pedestrian crossing sign (MUTCD R1-6 series) is a highly visible, retroreflective, 215
38 breakaway sign installed on the centerline to remind motorists of their legal requirement to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and has been shown to improve driver yielding rates in practice. The Advisory Committee also recommended installing an in-street pedestrian crossing sign further East on Rose Avenue at Olive Street.

PILOT STUDY 2 IMPLEMENTATION
Pilot Study 2 was implemented through a coordinated approach that combined site preparation, and community engagement to improve pedestrian safety at the intersection of Rose Avenue and Locust Street. Prior to the event, logistical coordination consisted of traffic control, materials, site layout, and safety procedures to ensure safe implementation, these materials are shown in Figure 9, Figure 10 and Figure 11. The intersection was pre-marked to define installation zones for zig-zag pavement markings, Botts’ dots, curb extensions, in-street pedestrian crossing signs, and flexible delineator posts. This preparation included selecting appropriate colors,

39 verifying MUTCD compliance for signage, and pre-positioning materials to streamline installation. To minimize impacts for nearby residents, a traffic detour and control plan was developed and deployed, and a Notice to Residents was distributed to inform the community of upcoming changes, recommended alternative routes, and safety considerations. The notice and traffic control plan were also shared on the City of Selma website and social media platforms ten days prior to the pilot study.

On the day of the pilot, participants and project staff checked in, received a brief orientation, and assisted with installation of tactical elements. Zig-zag pavement markings were applied along the roadway approaches to the crosswalk, drawing driver attention, prohibiting parking within the approach zone, and encouraging slower, more attentive driving. Botts’ dots were installed to provide tactile and auditory cues, alerting drivers to upcoming pedestrian crossings. Curb extensions were added to shorten crossing distances, improve sightlines, and naturally calm vehicle speeds.

In-street pedestrian crossing signs were placed on the centerline to reinforce driver yielding behavior, with an additional sign installed further east on Rose Avenue at Olive Street per Advisory Committee recommendations. Flexible delineator posts were installed along curb extensions to provide visual and physical reinforcement of the pedestrian zones. The combination of high-visibility markings, tactile cues, signage, and street modifications provides a replicable approach for testing and evaluating low-cost, self-enforcing traffic calming solutions at other intersections throughout the city. The completed improvements can be seen in the following images.

PILOT STUDY 2 COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
A community survey was conducted to gather feedback about Pilot Study 2 at Rose Avenue and Locust Street, distributed through the Selma Unified ParentSquare App and the City of Selma website and social media accounts. Across 22 responses, participants skewed toward ages 31–40 and 51–60, with smaller shares 41–50 and 61+, and one response from 18–30. About half of respondents reported using the crosswalk regularly; among those users, most crossed it daily or at least weekly. 12 of the 22 respondents noted that pedestrians are more easily seen by oncoming traffic, and that they did not notice a difference in vehicle speeds at the intersection.

The most common requests for permanent improvements include pedestrianactivated flashing beacons or school-zone flashers, better nighttime lighting, and physical speed control such as speed humps or cushions, cited both near schools and parks. Several comments mention confusion or drivers veering around Botts’ Dots.

Survey responses identified safety concerns at additional locations along the Rose Avenue corridor, including the intersections at Selma Street, Olive Street, and Dockery Avenue. A few respondents praised the bright colors and initial speed-reduction 218
41 features, but others emphasized that paint alone is “cosmetic” and insufficient at peak times like sports events.

Pilot Study 2 raised awareness and delivered some perceived safety gains, yet residents are asking for more robust, and enforceable measures, especially lighting and beacons for nighttime visibility. These findings suggest prioritizing permanent upgrades at the named intersections, pairing visual treatments with active warning and speed management.

PILOT STUDY 2 VEHICLE SPEED ANALYSIS
Vehicle speeds were monitored at the intersection of Rose Avenue and Locust Street before and after the pilot study was conducted to determine if the study was successful in reducing vehicle speeds, increasing pedestrian visibility, and shortening crossing distance across travel lanes.

Before and after speed counts were conducted over a four-day period (ThursdaySunday) both when school was in session. This counted the number of vehicles traveling at certain speeds. Before speed counts are summarized in Table 8 and after speed counts are summarized in Table 9 below.

CHANGES IN VEHICLE SPEED & DRIVER BEHAVIOR
Following implementation of the pilot study, both eastbound and westbound vehicle traffic demonstrated a measurable reduction in speeds which is summarized in Table

10. However, the data suggests that speed reduction effectiveness could have been greater if curb extensions were installed on both the north and south sides of the crosswalk. It was not possible to install a temporary curb extension on the north side of the crosswalk due to constraints with the existing travel lane configuration that would require modifications that exceeded the scope of this Safe Streets Study. In the first pilot study, where both ends of the crossing included curb extensions, the speed reduction rate was more substantial due to the visual narrowing of the roadway and the symmetrical curb design that created a stronger sense of enclosure and friction for drivers. The presence of only one curb extension in the current study limited the overall impact by allowing higher entry speeds from the side without a physical narrowing.

While the single curb extension improved pedestrian safety and reduced travel speeds, a dual curb extension configuration on both sides would likely have produced a higher rate of speed reduction by fully reinforcing the narrowed cross-section and further increasing driver caution approaching and departing the crosswalk. 220

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND
The intersection of Mitchell and Nebraska
Avenues was selected for the pilot study
based on its proximity to schools and
parks, recorded high vehicle speeds, and
specific safety concerns. Logistical
planning for the site focused on a multilayered approach to pedestrian safety and driver behavior patterns. The physical
installation included a colorful thematic
crosswalk designed to increase driver
awareness, supplemented by the
placement of reflectors and botts’ dots.

These tactile and audible markers were
strategically installed to interrupt
monotonous driving rhythms and alert
motorists to the changing conditions of
the stop-controlled intersection.

Additionally, a hardened centerline with
flexible posts was implemented to
physically "tighten" the turning path,
successfully reducing left-turn speeds and
increasing the buffer between vehicles
and the pedestrian space.

The pilot study logistics were intentionally structured to move beyond technical traffic calming by incorporating a community engagement component. Coordination between City staff, project partners, and Eric White Elementary School allowed students to participate directly in painting the thematic crosswalk, transforming the technical installation into a collaborative activity. To validate the study’s impact, the pilot study included a data collection component consisting of public community surveys and pedestrian and bicycle counts. These efforts confirmed high volumes of pedestrian activity during school hours and provided a logistical baseline for evaluating the effectiveness of the safety improvements.

PILOT STUDY 3 IMPLEMENTATION
Pilot Study 3 was implemented through a
coordinated process that combined site
preparation, installation of traffic calming
elements, and community participation.

Exhibits were prepared for Advisory
Committee review, comment and
approval. The final exhibit for the proposed
improvements can be seen in Figure 14.

Prior to installation, City staff and project
partners conducted field assessments to
confirm placement locations, prepare
materials, and mark the layout of the pilot
features. The crosswalk location, reflector
spacing, Botts’ dots alignment, and
hardened centerline configuration were
measured and pre-marked to ensure
accurate installation and maintain safe
traffic operations during the pilot study. The
installation process focused on
implementing multiple safety treatments
designed to increase driver awareness and
moderate vehicle speeds.

Community participation was a key component of the implementation. In coordination with Eric White Elementary School, students were invited to participate in painting the thematic crosswalk under the supervision of City staff and school administrators.

PILOT STUDY 3 PEDESTRIAN COUNTS
Since the study location was at a four-way intersection where vehicles must come to a stop, vehicle speeds were not identified as a primary focus of this pilot study. Instead, pedestrian counts and a community survey were conducted to collect data and better understand pedestrian and bicycle activity at the location. Pedestrian counts collected in December and January during the regular school year session indicate that the intersection experiences notable pedestrian and bicycle activity during school hours, particularly during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal periods. Data collection was done on one day on a Tuesday for both months while school was in session to ensure consistency in observations. Although, single-day counts are a screening-level tool and a multi-day count program is recommended prior to final design.
227
50 There were a total of 352 pedestrians utilizing the crossing prior to the improvements and 392 pedestrians using the crossing after the pilot study implementation. This represents an increase of about 11% in after pedestrian counts, showing consistent and slightly higher pedestrian activity. The following is a breakdown of pedestrian activity by time with December numbers showing before improvements activity and January indicating after improvements activity.

MORNING SCHOOL ARRIVAL PERIOD (7:15 AM – 9:00 AM)

• 9:00–9:15 AM: 26 crossings (peak)
Both months show a clear concentration of pedestrian activity during the morning school arrival period, with peaks between 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM. 228
51 AFTERNOON SCHOOL DISMISSAL PERIOD (1:45 PM – 4:15 PM) Before
• 1:45–2:00 PM: 59 crossings
• 2:00 - 2:15 PM: 7 crossings
• 2:15 - 2:30 PM: 2 crossings
• 2:30 - 2:45 PM: 3 crossings
• 2:45 - 3:00 PM: 3 crossings
• 3:00 - 3:15 PM: 4 crossings
• 3:15 - 3:30 PM: 1 crossing
• 3:30 - 3:45 PM: 6 crossings
• 3:45–4:00 PM: 50 crossings
After
• 1:45–2:00 PM: 79 crossings (highest single period)
• 2:00 - 2:15 PM: 2 crossings
• 2:15 - 2:30 PM: 5 crossings
• 2:30 - 2:45 PM: 7 crossings
• 2:45 - 3:00 PM: 3 crossings
• 3:00 - 3:15 PM: 1 crossing
• 3:15 - 3:30 PM: 16 crossings
• 3:30 - 3:45 PM: 0 crossings
• 3:45–4:00 PM: 60 crossings
The highest pedestrian volumes of the entire day occur during the afternoon dismissal period, particularly around 1:45–2:00 PM and 3:45–4:00 PM, which likely correspond to school dismissal times. Pedestrian activity is strongly concentrated during school arrival and dismissal periods and a peak 15-minute periods range from 50 to 79 crossings, indicating substantial pedestrian demand.

52 PILOT STUDY 3 COMMUNITY SURVEY
After Pilot Study 3 was implemented, a community
survey was carried out to gather community
feedback on the temporary measures and whether
they believed it was effective in bringing more
awareness to the crosswalk and pedestrians using
the crosswalk. The survey was circulated on the City
of Selma website and social media pages.

Additionally, a flyer with the survey information was
posted at the pilot study location.

A total of 28 surveys were collected, 25 English and 3
Spanish. Many participants indicated that they use
the crosswalk weekly or daily, often in connection
with school drop-off, pick-up, or student walking
routes. 80% of respondents felt that the crosswalk
was safer to use following the improvements. Figure
12 below shows that 81.8% of participants agreed that the bright colors and design elements make pedestrians more noticeable to drivers. Additional observations made by participants included better driver yielding behavior however, some noticed driver compliance decreased over time.

53 Furthermore, comments made by survey participants include high approval of the colorful design. The visual enhancements signal to drivers they’re in a school zone and there is high pedestrian activity. As shown in Figure 13, 75% of participants indicated seeing drivers yield to pedestrians more easily. Many respondents supported the project and would like to see similar treatments near other schools and high-traffic pedestrian areas.

Figure 12 Pilot Study 3 Mitchell Ave & Nebraska Ave Pilot Study Survey Results Community feedback on Pilot Study 3 highlighted both successes and areas for further action. Residents praised the efforts near schools, noting safer and more visible crossings. However, challenges remain for the intersection of Mitchell Avenue and Nebraska Avenue: some drivers continue to ignore crosswalks, raised dots and rumble features received mixed reactions, and not all intersections were consistently upgraded. A small minority preferred traditional crosswalks or permanent changes.

Community members also recommended additional safety measures, including speed control, police presence near schools, and technical improvements, especially around Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln schools, such as separating crosswalk lights to ensure drivers do not ignore them.

55 4.6 PILOT STUDY 4 FINDINGS & EVALUATION

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND
The intersection of Wright Street and Burnham Street was selected as a priority for Pilot Study 4. Throughout the lifecycle of the Selma Safe Streets Study, community members consistently identified speed bumps as a potential pilot intervention to address speeding concerns on residential streets near schools. In response to this recurring feedback, Pilot Study 4 was developed to evaluate traffic calming measures and implement the requested speed cushions aimed at reducing vehicle speeds and improving pedestrian safety in school zones. Advisory Committee members in coordination with Selma Fire Chief and Selma Police Chief reviewed and assessed each type of speed hump and bump to determine the most appropriate for the proposed location. After thorough review, speed cushions were selected as the best option for this particular location to maximize safety benefits for students and pedestrians while minimizing potential impacts on emergency response operations.

WHY SPEED CUSHIONS?
Speed cushions were selected over
traditional speed humps or bumps to
balance effective traffic calming
with emergency access. Unlike fullwidth humps, the strategic gaps in speed cushions allow fire trucks and
other heavy emergency vehicles to
pass without significant delay,
directly addressing concerns
regarding emergency response
times. Simultaneously, the cushions
have been shown to be effective at
reducing the speeds of passenger
vehicles, enhancing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists near the school while minimizing the noise, and general disruption often associated with standard speed bumps.

Speed cushions installed at Wright St & Burnham St
233
56 PILOT STUDY 4: PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Prior to installation, a notice was
distributed to residents to inform the
community of upcoming road closures
and provide alternate routes in both
English and Spanish. A complete road
closure was not required for this pilot
study. However, the Public Works
Department implemented a temporary
single-lane closure and providing
flaggers to safely direct traffic around
the installation area.

Installation of the speed cushions
required substantial coordination and
labor. The cushions were delivered in multiple components and required specialized tools to drill into the asphalt surface. The pilot study installation was completed over the course of two days, and “Speed Bump Ahead” warning signs were installed to alert both northbound and southbound drivers. Figure 15 Pilot Study 4 Exhibit shows the placement of the speed cushions and indicates the guidance used for the spacing.

Pre- and post-installation speed data were collected to evaluate changes in driver behavior and determine the effectiveness of the speed cushions in reducing vehicle speeds at this specific location. In addition to the speed analysis, a community survey was conducted to gather public feedback on the installation and assess overall community perception of the speed cushions. The survey was distributed through the City’s website and social media platforms to reach a broad audience of residents and encourage community participation.

58 PILOT STUDY 4 VEHICLE SPEED DATA
The posted speed limit at the site is 30 mph; however, because the area is adjacent to a school, the 25-mph school-zone speed limit applies during designated school hours and when children are present. The Advisory Committee noted that this location has generated numerous concerns and reports related to student safety due to vehicles traveling at higher speeds.

Before and after speed counts were conducted over a four-day period (ThursdaySunday) while school was in session. This data counted the number of vehicles traveling at certain speeds. Table 11 below summarizes the speed data collected before the pilot study and Table 12 summarizes the data collected after the pilot study. The complete data sets can be found in the Appendices.

The installation of speed cushions led to a significant and measurable reduction in vehicle speeds in both directions. The vehicle speed data demonstrates a shift in the number of vehicles from the higher speed to the lower speed ranges following the pilot study. After the pilot study, nearly the entire vehicle volume is now traveling at or below 35 MPH (95%). The percentage of drivers traveling over 35 MPH dropped from roughly 1-in-4 to fewer than 1-in-12. Table 13 below summarizes the changes in vehicle speed and driver behavior.

60 Although the data shows drivers traveling at safer speeds, many drivers were observed driving in the opposing lane to go around the speed cushions. This poses a great risk to all road users. Also, it was observed the speed cushions impacted fire response times, as fire engines had to slow down for the cushions. For future considerations of speed cushions, it is recommended for the Engineering Department to evaluate the location and existing conditions to determine if speed cushions are feasible. Considerations should be made to mitigate vehicles going around the cushions. It is recommended to continue consulting with both the Fire Chief and Police Chief for insights into the proposed location and proposed layout for the speed cushions. It is important to note that speed cushions may not be the best option for every location.

PILOT STUDY 4 COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
After the study was implemented, a community
survey was carried out to gather the
community’s feedback on the study and
whether they believed it was effective in
reducing vehicle speeds. Many respondents
felt the pilot study was a success. When asked
about their overall experience. A total of 50
responses were collected following the
implementation of the pilot safety
improvements. Respondents represented a
range of age groups, with the majority
between 31–40 years old, suggesting strong
participation from parents or guardians of
school-aged children. The following are some
of the results from the survey.

To improve safety and maintain efficient emergency response, the Fire Department recommended modifying future installations to consist of a three–speed cushion configuration across the roadway. This arrangement would allow fire apparatus to straddle the center cushion when conditions permit, minimizing impacts to response times while still achieving the intended traffic calming effect and discouraging drivers from crossing the center line to bypass the speed cushions. 239
62 CHAPTER 5 SAFE STREETS RECOMMENDATIONS
The following outlines recommendations for the City of Selma to consider for future infrastructure improvements, policies, ordinances and standards. These recommendations consider outcomes from the pilot studies, community feedback, advisory committee input and field observations.

5.1 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PERMANENT INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS Findings and feedback from the study lead to several recommendations for the pilot study locations.

PILOT STUDY LOCATION 1: THOMPSON AVENUE & LEWIS STREET
Recommendations for this location include the installation of curb extensions or bulbouts. The rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB) with pedestrian push buttons should be placed within the bulb-out curb, in the driver’s line of sight. Additional safety measures include high-visibility crosswalk striping, yield here to pedestrians signage and markings, and botts’ dots. For increased pedestrian visibility, pedestrian lighting should be considered.

The City of Selma was selected for funding through Cycle 12 of the Local Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The proposed project includes improvements for the Thompson Avenue and Lewis Street intersection. Data collected from Pilot Study 1 can be used to help inform the design for permanent improvements.

PILOT STUDY LOCATION 2: ROSE AVENUE & LOCUST STREET
Recommendations for improvements for this location include the installation of dualsided rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB) with flood lights and pedestrian push buttons. Typically, RRFBs are recommended to be placed within a bulb-out so that they are in the driver’s line of sight. Since this particular location lacks a parking lane on the north side, bulb-outs will not fit without major lane changes, such as a road diet.

Keeping this in mind, considerations should be made for in-roadway warning lights.

Other safety countermeasures to implement at this location include thermoplastic high-visibility crosswalk striping, daylighting and botts’ dots. 240
63 The City of Selma was selected for funding through the FCOG Safe Routes to School Program for permanent improvements at Rose Avenue and Locust Street. The data and community feedback collected from Pilot Study 2 can be used to inform the design improvements for this location.

Additionally, a speed study should be considered to evaluate the existing speed limit of 40 mph for the Rose Avenue corridor since there are several school crossings at uncontrolled intersections.

PILOT STUDY LOCATION 3: MITCHELL AVENUE & NEBRASKA AVENUE Recommendations for this location include installing ADA curb ramps to increase accessibility, sidewalk gap closures to increase pedestrian safety, and installing permanent botts’ dots on the approaching legs of the intersection. Additional considerations should be made for pedestrian-scale lighting.

PILOT STUDY LOCATION 4: WRIGHT STREET & BURNHAM STREET
Recommendations for this location include the construction of bulb-outs to increase pedestrian visibility, RRFB with pedestrian push button and flood lights. Since this location only has two lanes, an in-street pedestrian sign is recommended at the crosswalk. Additional safety countermeasures to consider include daylighting and botts’ dots.

5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ZONING ORDINANCES
The City of Selma most recently updated its zoning ordinance in June 2024. However, there remain opportunities to enhance the safety for all users in Selma’s streets by further refining certain aspects of the zoning ordinance to better encourage and accommodate walking, biking, and other non-motorized modes of transportation in Selma. When the safety of the most vulnerable road users is prioritized, the safety of all other road users also improves. This section discusses recommendations for zoning ordinance updates aimed at facilitating multimodal connectivity and achieving safer streets in Selma. Selma's Active Transportation Plan (Selma ATP) emphasizes the importance of having a complete, safe, and comfortable network of trails, sidewalks, and bikeways that serve all residents. The Selma ATP makes it clear that local streets need to consider the safety, comfort, and convenience of all road users, particularly pedestrians and cyclists.
245
68 To better align Selma’s zoning ordinance with the Selma ATP vision and promote more sustainable modes of transportation, the following updates to the zoning ordinance are recommended:
• Require Dedication of Land for Multi-Use Facilities
• Overlay Mixed-Use Developments with Complete Streets
• Implement Connectivity Standards
• Revise Parking Requirements

DEDICATION OF LAND FOR MULTI-USE FACILITIES
Communities throughout California have local policies and zoning ordinances that require new developments to dedicate land for multi-use facilities. Cities in our region that have already implemented policies or zoning ordinances to require new developments to dedicate land for non-motorized users include Modesto, Fresno, Clovis, Visalia, and Bakersfield (Ex. see Clovis Development Code Section 9.24.030 or

9.110.050 and Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 12.64). These zoning ordinances require new residential or commercial developments to dedicate land for public multiuse trails, or, at a minimum, dedicate sufficient space for widened sidewalks and bikeways along priority corridors identified in the respective city’s General Plan, Active Transportation Plan, or other similar local planning document that promotes multimodal connectivity.

The overarching commonality among these cities is that these policies and zoning ordinances revolve around locally adopted long-term planning documents. There are three components to achieve the goal of making walking and biking more prominent in a community.

1. Develop a local multimodal transportation plan.

2. Develop and adopt the local zoning ordinance to require dedication of land for multi-use trails or similar facilities identified in the local transportation plan.

3. Enforce the zoning ordinance through the subdivision map review process and development review process.

In the case of the City of Selma, which already has an adopted Active Transportation Plan that identifies the priority corridors throughout the city, additional updates to Selma’s zoning ordinance are necessary to require new commercial and residential developments adjacent to the priority corridors from the Selma ATP to either (1) build out their corresponding portion of the planned multi-use facility, or (2) dedicate the 246
69 sufficient right-of-way or permanent easement to the city so that the city can then construct the multi-use facility.

OVERLAY MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENTS WITH COMPLETE STREETS
The 2024 Zoning Ordinance update includes language that allows for mixed-use developments. The term “Mixed-Use Development” is defined in Selma’s zoning ordinance as “the development of a parcel or building with two or more different land uses in a single or physically integrated group of structures.” This may consist of but not necessarily limited to offices, medical centers, retail, financial institutions, animal care and food and beverage sales. This shows the City of Selma is making strides to support the state’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging active transportation through policies such as this one.

This zoning ordinance provides the City of Selma with an opportunity to update the city’s engineering and building standards to prioritize the safety and accessibility for non-motorized users, by requiring street design elements such as reduced lane widths to calm vehicle traffic, protected and separated bikeways, protected pedestrian and bicycle crossings, wider sidewalks, sidewalks with park strips and enhanced transit connectivity.

IMPLEMENT CONNECTIVITY STANDARDS
Another recommendation for updating Selma’s zoning ordinance revolves around interconnectivity between and across developments. This would consist of requiring new residential and commercial developments to provide direct, safe, and convenient pedestrian and bicycle pathways that connect to existing networks. This would ensure that existing residential and commercial developments do not become siloed off from future key destinations. Additionally, Selma’s zoning ordinance could be updated to enhance multimodal connectivity by discouraging or more intentionally regulating the use of cul-de-sacs unless pedestrian and bicycle throughways are provided.

By taking this proactive approach to ensure Selma residents are able to walk or bike anywhere in town because their safety, accessibility, and convenience needs have been considered and prioritized, it will help Selma advance the goals of both the California Transportation Plan 2050 and the Fresno County Regional Transportation Plan’s Sustainable Community Strategies.
247
70 REVISE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Lastly, one other recommendation for updating Selma’s zoning ordinance is related to vehicle parking requirements. Excessive parking can discourage walking and biking and instead encourage driving more, even for short-distance single-purpose trips.

While the 2024 zoning ordinance update established baseline requirements for offstreet parking across different types of developments, a recommendation is being made to periodically review those standards and actively lower the minimums to encourage the buildout of Selma’s active transportation network.

With the implementation of California Assembly Bill 413, commonly referred to as the “daylighting” law and codified in the Vehicle Code as CVC §22500(n), Selma’s zoning ordinance could be updated to specifically reference this new law as the legal basis for prohibiting vehicle parking within 20 feet of any marked or unmarked crosswalk or within 15 feet of a crosswalk with a curb extension. The results from Pilot Study 1 and Pilot Study 2 provided real-world local data demonstrating that pedestrians feel safer crossing streets when vehicles are prevented from parking and blocking their visibility as they wait to cross.

5.3 SAFE STREETS EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN
As part of this study, two educational safety videos aimed at promoting safe use of pedestrian and bicycle facilities were developed in partnership with the Selma Police Department. The first video focused on pedestrian safety, demonstrating proper crosswalk use and outlining key “do’s and don'ts", while the second emphasized driver awareness, highlighting the importance of recognizing and yielding to pedestrians and bicyclists. Both videos were developed using a detailed step-by-step script, with the Selma Police Department providing narration and serving as the primary on-screen presenter. The recorded videos will be shared by the City of Selma and the Selma Unified School District to reach parents and students, enhancing pedestrian and bicyclist safety throughout the community. Below is the QR Code for the project website with links to the videos.
