7. Implementation
This chapter provides a strategy for implementing the capital project recommendations in this Plan. This
implementation strategy and sequence is guided by a criteria-based ranking consistent with the goals of this
plan as well as the goals of other City plans and the Metro General Plan.
Phased implementation of the recommended projects and programs presented in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 will
take a significant amount of time, subject to a large number of variables. The most important of these variables
include availability of funding for non-motorized transportation, the City of Bakersfield’s success in obtaining
competitive grant funding, and local community and political support.
In the near-term, it is critically important to focus on a group of achievable, high priority projects. These high
priority projects are drawn directly from the results of the criteria-based ranking process presented in Table
7-1. The high priority projects identified in Table 7-5 of this chapter represent roughly $2.1 million dollars in
capital improvements and site-specific technical traffic studies to support near-term project refinement and
development.
These projects are intended for near-term implementation in the next one to five years. While this is a
significant jump in expenditure for the City of Bakersfield, current trends indicate that Bakersfield is poised to
make this jump. The city’s commitment to implementing the goals of the Metro General Plan, to continued
investment in Downtown, and commitment to the preparation of the Bicycle Transportation Plan, will
certainly attract the wide variety of transportation funding and generate other financing required to complete
this high priority project list.
7.1. Bikeway Project Prioritization
The intent of prioritizing projects is to create a prioritized list of bicycle projects for implementation. As
projects are implemented, lower ranked projects move up the list. The project list and individual projects
outlined in this Plan are flexible concepts that serve as a guideline. The high-priority Tier 1 project list, and
perhaps the overall system and segments themselves, may change over time as a result of changing bicycling
patterns, land use patterns, implementation constraints and opportunities and the development of other
transportation system facilities.
Projects may be implemented out of scoring order as opportunities or challenges arise. Opportunities may
include grant availability, new development projects, or roadway repaving. The City of Bakersfield should
review the project list and project ranking at regular intervals to ensure it reflects the most current priorities,
needs, and opportunities for implementing the bicycle network in a logical and efficient manner.

7.1.1 Prioritization Criteria
The plan’s vision and goals inform the ranking criteria, which were developed with input from the City of
Bakersfield and the Bicycle Transportation Plan Steering Committee. These criteria are described in Table 7-1
and outlined below.
The criteria include:
Safety
Gap Closure
Community Connections
Employment Connections
School Connections
Public Input
Based on the nature of the criterion, the projects were scored:
Score / No Score
Full Score / Half Score / Zero Score
Scaled range from zero to 20
For example, projects evaluated for network connectivity will receive either a zero score or a full score. The
project either extends the existing network/overcomes a freeway barrier or does not. By contrast, projects
that connect to community destinations can receive a full, half or no score depending on whether it directly
connects, indirectly connects or does not connect to a community destination.
The maximum potential score for each project is the sum of the maximum potential scores of all project
criteria (100).

Table 7-1: Project Ranking Criteria
Criteria Description Maximum
Score
Safety
This ranking is based on available collision data identifying corridors with
high incidents of bicycle related collisions within a quarter mile buffer of the
proposed improvement.
Projects are scored on a scaled ranking from zero to 20 with locations with
the most collisions receiving the maximum score.
20
Gap Closure Projects that close identified gaps receive 20 points. 20
Community Center
Connections
Projects that directly connect to community destinations including retail
districts, libraries, community centers, and parks, receive 15 points.
Projects located within a half mile of these destinations that connect to a
bikeway directly connected to the destination receive 7 points
Projects that do not connect to a community center receive zero points.
15
Employment
Connections
Projects that directly connect to any of the ten largest employers or the
highest employment census blocks in the City receive 15 points.
Projects that connect to a bikeway that connects directly to one of these
employers or areas of moderate employment density receive 7 points.
Projects that do not connect to major employers, high or moderate
employment density areas receive zero points.
15
School Connections
Projects that directly connect to schools receive 15 points.
Projects that connect to a bikeway that directly connect to a school receive 7
points.
Projects that do not connect to schools receive zero points.
15
Public Input Projects that were identified by the community receive 15 points.
Projects that were not identified by the community receive zero points. 15
Maximum Total Score100
Bikeway projects were then placed into three phasing groups: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3.
Tier 1 (>50 points): Tier 1 projects have the highest potential for addressing the City’s goals for bicycle
transportation and are intended for near-term project implementation within one to five years.
Tier 2 (30-50 points): Tier 2 projects are intended for development within 6 to 10 years.
Tier 3 (<30 points): Tier 3 projects are not currently ready for implementation but are included as
long-term potential bicycle-specific projects over the next 11 to 20 years.
Table 7-3 lists the projects and their scores, organized into the three Tiers.

7.1.2 Cost Estimate Assumptions
This section presents typical planning level unit costs for constructing bikeways in California’s Central Valley
Area, shown in Table 7-2. The cost estimates for each of the recommended bikeway projects is included in
Table 7-3. Unit costs presented here are planning-level cost estimates based on typical or average costs
experienced by California cities and counties when constructing similar project. While these costs also reflect
the suburban nature of the City of Bakersfield, they do not consider project-specific factors such as intensive
grading, landscaping, intersection modifications, and right-of-way acquisition that may increase actual
construction costs. For some segments project costs may be significantly greater.

1 Assumes five signs per mile in each direction.
2 Assumes shared lane marking are placed every 265 feet.
3 Assumes two signs per mile in each direction.
4 Includes center stripe and striping along path edges.
The construction of recommended facilities will also require additional field work to verify conditions. These
include but are not limited to: roadway width, travel lanes, actual motor vehicle speeds, motor vehicle
volumes, bicycle and motor vehicle travel patterns and conflicts, and pavement conditions. Final bikeway
treatments should be selected based on verified conditions.

7.2. Bikeway Cost by Class and Tier
Table 7-5 presents a summary of bikeway miles and cost estimates by bikeway class. The total estimate for all
the bikeway projects in this Plan is $34.2 million. A significant amount of this cost estimate is due to the cost
of the Class I bike paths. The cost estimate for the recommended Class II and Class III projects is
approximately $5.6 million.
Table 7-5: Summary of Costs by Class and Miles
Facility Type Cost Estimate Miles
I $28,633,300 44.55
II $4,732,200 111.07
III $831,900 104.03
Total $34,217,400 259.65
Table 7-6 presents a summary of bikeway projects by implementation tier. Tier 1, intended for
implementation within the next five years, is estimated to cost $17.1 million. This includes the Arvin-Edison
Canal, H Street Canal, and the Friant-Kern Canal paths which will require a feasibility study and will take
considerable time to study and implement. The cost to implement the Tier 1 projects without the paths is
approximately $2 million.
Table 7-6: Summary of Costs by Tier and Miles
Tier Cost Estimate Miles
1 $17,152,400 80.45
2 $8,946,600 98.87
3 $8,098,400 80.33
Total $34,217,400 259.65
Table 7-5 at the end of this chapter outlines the high priority projects that include the Tier 1 bikeway
infrastructure projects and priority programs.

7.3. Maintenance Cost Estimates
Bikeways require regular maintenance and repair. On-street bikeways are maintained as part of the normal
roadway maintenance program and extra emphasis should be placed on keeping bike lanes and roadway
shoulders clear of debris and keeping vegetation overgrowth from blocking visibility. The high cost of
maintaining Class I facilities may be shared among various agencies or departments. The typical maintenance
costs for the existing and proposed bikeway network are shown in Table 7-4.

7.4. High Priority Projects and Programs
The high priority projects are comprised of the following:
Tier 1 bikeway infrastructure projects;
Spot improvement studies; and
Selected programs including a bike parking plan; Safe Routes to School Plan, and a citywide youth
bicycle saftey education program.
Table 7-5 below presents the high priority projects and cost estimates. This list may change to reflect the
City’s most current priorities, needs, and opportunities for implementing the bicycle network in a logical and
efficient manner. A number of projects will require a feasibility study before implementation and those study
costs have been included rather than implementation costs. The cost estimates for all projects are high level
and detailed scoping should be completed before implementation. The total cost estimate for the high
priority projects is approximately $3.3 million.
