TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
Good news! The City recently learned it will receive three grants totaling
$132,450 from the Kern Council of Governments for bicycle-related projects
and activities, including:
o Bicycle Lanes and Routes (Bakersfield College Area) – $107,450
This grant includes installing 1.04 miles of Class II bicycle lanes and 7.87
miles of Class III bicycle routes around Bakersfield College. Collectively,
the bicycle lanes and routes nearly complete the bicycle transportation
network within the Bakersfield College area according to the City’s
Bicycle Transportation Plan. Also, the proposed improvements provide
new routes and substantially close gaps adjacent to the Kern River
Parkway. Attached is a map of the funded bicycle lanes and routes.
o Bicycle Parking Racks – $15,000
This grant includes purchasing and installing bicycle parking racks at
various locations throughout Bakersfield. The bicycle parking racks may
include the current decorative (bicycle-shaped) racks found in the
downtown area. Additional styles may be considered as well.
o Bicycle Education and Outreach – $10,000
The grant includes partnering with Bike Bakersfield to conduct several
community outreach and educational events to increase bicycle and
pedestrian safety awareness and promote the benefits of bicycling for
health and transportation. The events include safety lectures, interactive
bicycle skills courses, bicycle repair stations, and helmet fitting lessons.
Events can be tailored for youth and/or adults and may be held at parks,
community centers, or schools.
