The group has also asked the court for an injunction that would suspend physical work on the project until the appeal is decided. Staff is currently preparing an opposition to this request to be filed later this month. In the meantime, the court has temporarily stopped any physical work on the project in order to maintain the status quo until the court rules on whether an injunction should be issued that will remain in place while the appeal is being decided. The City Attorney’s Office will continue to provide updates.  Earlier this year, the City accepted a League of California Cities’ Award for Excellence in City-Business Relations for its Highway Litter Cleanup Program. As part of the award, the program was recently featured in the December issue of Western City magazine (League of California Cities publication). Thank you to everyone who is involved in making this program successful. Attached is an online version of the article.  The City is participating in the development of a Countywide Active Transportation Plan, which identifies strategies to increase walking, bicycling, and transit use in Kern County. The planning efforts is primary led by the Kern Council of Governments, but also includes the City, Golden Empire Transit (GET) District, Kern County Regional Transit, and other jurisdictions. Not only will the plan create a vision for local and regional active transportation, but will help the City be more competitive for future grant opportunities.

Send to printer Close window Bakersfield Creates Jobs for Homeless People The City of Bakersfield won the League Partners Award for Excellence in City­Business Relations in the 2016 Helen Putnam Award for Excellence program. For more about the award program, visit www.helenputnam.org. Bakersfield, located in the southern Central Valley, is the ninth largest city in the state of California, with a population of nearly 380,000 residents. In 2013 state budget cuts affected Caltrans’ ability to clean up litter on highways, and the highways that pass through Bakersfield were soon strewn with discarded trash and debris. Designing a Creative Solution Under the leadership of Mayor Harvey L. Hall and with the support and collaboration of the Keep Bakersfield Beautiful (KBB) Committee, the city launched a freeway litter cleanup project. Volunteers gathered regularly to be transported to designated highway ramps where they collected trash. Though these efforts were successful, safety precautions prevented cleanup on larger portions of the local highways. Bakersfield’s need to restore cleanliness to its local highways led to the development and implementation of a solution that far exceeded the initial goal of eliminating highway litter. The city’s Solid Waste Division partnered with KBB, the Bakersfield Homeless Center (BHC), Caltrans, Kern Council of Governments and local businesses to solve the highway litter problem by creating jobs for homeless people. In May 2013 the city established an agreement with BHC that provided $556,000 in funding for crews of BHC clients to serve as a workforce providing litter cleanup on local highways. Concurrently, Bakersfield approved an agreement with Caltrans and the Kern Council of Governments, which provided $352,000 of additional funding for the program. Through the city’s Adopt­A­Highway program, KBB provided the mechanism for gathering additional donations to fund the program. The private sector enthusiastically embraced the notion that small, charitable contributions could help put homeless individuals to work and improve the city’s image. KBB collected $40,000 in sponsorships and donations, and its first cleanup crew of six clients immediately went to work. Benefits Extend Beyond Beautification Though this partnership has successfully addressed the city’s highway litter problem, its positive effects have extended beyond clean highways. Mayor Hall says, “The program had another visible effect — on the workers.” The innovative and empowering partnership among the city, county, Caltrans, local businesses and residents created hope and purpose for Bakersfield’s homeless community. A total of 50 BHC clients are currently employed at minimum wage. Approximately 250 family members are in stable housing as a result of the employment opportunities that this partnership has created. The solution to the city’s highway litter problem is as heartwarming as it is productive. Since its inception, the program has grown significantly. Today, a total of four crews are out cleaning litter daily on local highways and throughout other areas in Bakersfield. The program produced tangible results that led to other city departments contracting with the BHC to clean sump pumps, remove tumbleweeds and address other city priorities. The city’s green waste facility employs two BHC crews, and the animal care facility employs two additional crews. Job opportunities have also become available to homeless veterans statewide as Caltrans has used the city’s pilot program as a model and developed similar programs throughout California. The program’s net economic effect goes beyond the minimum wage earned by the crews. Mayor Hall says, “Community costs are reduced when the crews are paid to clean up local freeways. In essence, the community pays itself.” In turn, the BHC workers have become tax­paying contributors to the city. Expanding the Local Labor Pool The program has created a labor force — with work experience, marketable skills and a positive attitude — that attracts local employers seeking new hires. Many of the workers employed through the program have transitioned successfully into better­paying jobs in the private sector, and the city now employs some of the BHC workers in permanent municipal positions. By choosing to employ homeless individuals, the city and its partners created a model that helps communities use limited resources to solve multiple problems simultaneously. Bakersfield’s Solid Waste Division Superintendent Sal Moretti oversees the Freeway Litter Cleanup Program. Moretti says, “The city and its partners put together a common­sense model: get work done, use available funds, work together and keep it simple.” The Freeway Litter Cleanup Program has not only restored cleanliness to the city’s highways, but it has also reduced the number of unemployed and unsheltered individuals residing in Bakersfield.

These events are part of the Kern Region Active Transportation Plan (ATP), a regional planning effort led by the Kern Council of Governments (COG) to improve walking, bicycling and transit access throughout Kern County. Working with local, regional and statewide partner agencies and organizations, Kern COG aims to develop project and program recommendations to make walking, bicycling and transit integral parts of daily life for residents and visitors alike. Audit participants will walk with professional planning staff in communities throughout the Kern Five projects throughout the Kern region will share $9.6 million from the state-fund-ed Active Transportation Program (ATP), which provides funding for projects that encourage walking and bicycling. An additional $2.5 million is available for regionally adopted projects. The projects funded by the state’s share of the ATP include: Delano Safe Routes to School Sidewalk Gap Closure Project, which will close 32 sidewalk gaps along 13 streets, bene-fiting seven schools with 6,005 students. Delano will receive $537,000 towards the $602,000 project cost. This project was the third-highest ranked in the state. Kern County Boron/Desert Lake Pe-destrian Path: County of Kern officials will build a six-foot-wide, paved, multi-use path for 1.5 miles and one mile of sidewalks connecting Desert Lake to Boron and community destinations. The project includes sidewalks, high visibility crosswalks and solar-powered street lights. Pedestrian crossings with safety features will be built over two dangerous, heavi-ly-trafficked railroads. The County was awarded $1.97 million to help pay for the $2.3 million project. Kern County Rexland Acres Community Sidewalk Project. The County of Kern was also awarded $5.6 million to build storm drain lines, sidewalks, curbs, gutters and bike lanes along the major transporta-tion corridors throughout Rexland Acres in metropolitan Bakersfield. High visibil-ity crosswalks, solar-lighted safety signs, solar-powered street lights and a pedestrian refuge island will be installed as needed, based on accident data and design require-ments. The project cost is $6.37 million. Kern awarded Active Transportation Program funding Please See Transportation Projects, page 4 Please See Transportation program funding, page 4 The public is invited to help plan the future of Kern’s bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure by participating in “walking audits” and community workshops over the next month. 2 Kern COG asked residents to share their hopes and vent their frustrations about local and regional transportation networks recently and the response was tremendous. Since August, more than 1,300 people have participated in the agency’s newest public outreach strategy, which asks local travelers to mark maps illustrating the kinds of transportation improvements they’d like to see in their own communities and throughout the entire county. Using a series of seven differently colored markers, participants at festivals around the region pointed out bicycle paths or lanes, maintenance projects, road widenings, new bus routes, turn improvements, sidewalks and other projects they’d like to see built or added in their neighborhoods and communities. Kern COG staffed booths at the Tehachapi Mountain Festival, Wasco Rose Festival, Kern County Fair, Delano Harvest Holidays and the Desert Empire Fair in Ridgecrest to talk with residents about their transportation network. Not surprisingly, road mainte-nance was the top priority for the vast majority of citizens. The information will be summarized in a public outreach report to inform expenditure proposals in the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan, a 20-year master plan for Kern’s regional transportation network. Kern Council of Governments awarded more than $720,000 for a dozen bicycle and pedestrian transportation projects throughout the region at its September meeting, including funding to complete a bicycle transportation network near Bakersfield College and sidewalks near Beale Avenue and River Boulevard in Bakersfield. The County of Kern and five cities submit-ted 14 project proposals requesting $1.07 million in Transportation Development Act Article 3 funding, which is generated through the state sales tax. The funding can be used for bicycle parking facilities, bicycle and pedestrian safety programs, and bicycle and pedestrian travel facilities. The city of Bakersfield will use $107,450 to complete its bicycle transportation network in the Bakersfield College area by constructing additional bike lanes and routes. The project will be completed in 2017. Additionally, the city received $15,000 to install additional bicycle parking fixtures throughout downtown while another $10,000 was approved to help with bicycle education and outreach. Taft was awarded $3,000 to provide additional bicycle parking and $136,526 to build a connection from Main Street to the popular Sunset Railway Rails-to-Trails linear park. The connection is anticipated to be completed in 2017 The County of Kern will spend $286,000 for pedestrian improvements near Beale Avenue and River Boulevard in Bakersfield to improve pedestrian safety. Design work is beginning shortly and the project is scheduled for completion in 2018. California City was awarded $82,181 to construct sidewalk in-fills on Heather Avenue. Completion is expected in 2017. McFarland will use $20,250 to install bike lanes on Browning Road from Browning Park to Sherwood Avenue. Construction will be completed in 2017. Wasco will use $19,000 for pedestrian im-provements on 7th Street, to be completed in 2017. An additional $2,000 for bicycle safety programs was also distributed. On-going funding to projects in Arvin, Bakersfield Tehachapi and Wasco werealso approved. Kern COG hosts California Transportation Commission Invitation to share on transportation networks nets 1300 responses Kern COG awards funding for non-motorized transportation projects Kern COG hosted California Transportation Commission (CTC) staff and four Commissioners in September for a town hall-style meeting and tour of a double tracking rail project near Tehachapi. The meeting offered transportation agencies throughout the San Joaquin Valley the opportunity to showcase their best projects and programs. The 11-member Commission is responsible for programming and allocating funds for highway, passenger rail, active transporta-tion, aeronautics and transit improvements throughout California. CTC Chairman Bob Alvarado was joined by Commissioners Yvonne Burke, Fran Inman and Lucetta Dunn at the Rabobank Convention Center in Bakersfield to hear presentations from the City of Bakersfield, County of Kern, Tejon Ranch and representatives from San Joaquin Valley transportation agencies including: Kings, Tulare, Fresno and San Joaquin counties. The presentations focused on how the San Joaquin Valley transportation network is expanding to address its accelerated population growth relative to the rest of California, including projects for freight movement and new opportunities for bicyclists and pedestrians. Commissioners and their staff also toured the final Tehachapi Rail Improvement Project, which dedicated $50 million in state bond funding as a match with private-sector capital to widen more than eight miles of freight track through Cali- ente and Keene. “We rarely get the chance to have the CTC’s attention for a full two days,” said Kern COG Executive Director Ahron Hakimi. “This was our opportunity to shine and show them exactly what we’re doing with our federal and state transporta-tion funding to meet the challenges of our growing population.” Commissioners last visited Bakersfield in 2009 when they helped break ground on the Mohawk Extension, the first-phase of what would become the Westside Parkway. 3 More than half of the 1,200 participants who pledged to rideshare at least one day during CommuteKern’s Rideshare Week Oct. 3-7 are new to ridesharing. Commut-ers are now recognizing that ridesharing helps to save money, reduce traffic head-aches and clean the air. This year, Rideshare Week promoted sus-tainable transportation beyond carpooling and vanpooling. Commuters were invited to try other alternative transportation options such as: riding the bus, bicycling, walking, brown bag lunches and telecom-muting. Staff worked with local media and businesses to help promote Rideshare Week activities and to educate commuters about participation prizes, such as: a bicy-cle donated by Sniders Cyclery, an iPad, iPod shuffles, movie passes and Starbucks gift cards. Rideshare Week sponsors included: the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, Valley Clean Air Now, Snider’s Cyclery, Golden Empire Transit District, Kern Transit, Kern Green and Bike Bakersfield. To help commuters get involved and have fun at the same time, CommuteKern offered a variety of tools for employers and commuters. More than 50 large employers throughout the county received marketing materials and additional information and activities were available on the commute-kern.org website. To celebrate Transit Tuesday, Kern COG, GET and Kern Transit staff served coffee and snacks during the morning rush hours, and cookies and water in the afternoon to all bus commuters. Rideshare Week has enabled Commute-Kern to introduce commuters to com-mutekern.org, which offers information and links to begin ridesharing as well as a free carpool matching service. Public commits to CommuteKern’s 2016 Rideshare Week The regionally adopted 2017 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (2017 FTIP) reflects nearly $233 million in programming of local and regional transportation projects for fiscal year 2016-17.

Challenges often include damaged infrastructure, system gaps, line-of-sight or vehicle speed concerns or other issues that make walking or riding a bike difficult. The public is also invited to attend a series of community work-shops designed to gather feedback about the existing walking and bicycling environment and how it may be improved. The audits and workshops will run from Nov. 30 through Dec. 15 throughout the region. A complete schedule is provided below. Residents are also encouraged to visit the project website, kernatp.org. Website visitors can complete an online survey, illustrate cur-rent and desired walking/bicycling routes via an interactive map, and learn more about the overall planning effort. The data, opinions and information gathered from these outreach efforts will be included in the Active Transportation Plan, which will serve as the basis for future funding and grant requests to sup-port and encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel, including new or improved walkways, bikeways, trails and crossings. Transportation Projects (Continued from page 1) Transportation program funding (Continued from page 1) The Delano Safe Routes to School Intersection Enhancement and Education Project includes improvements at 13 in-tersections throughout the city, with 1,875 feet of concrete sidewalks; 41 curb ramps and bulb-outs; 48 ladder-back crosswalks; 21 advanced pedestrian crossing and yield signs and; advance stop bars that improve pedes-trian visibility to motorists. ATP will cover $589,000 of the $669,000 project cost. Kern officials will building pedestrian paths along Rosamond Boulevard from 20th Street West to Elberta Street and 20th Street West from Orange Street to Rosamond Street as part of the Kern County Rosamond Boulevard Pedestri-an Path Project. The paths will include high visibility cross walks, solar-powered street lights & additional signage. Of the $997,000 project, ATP awarded $880,000. During this cycle the Kern region was awarded the most funding per capita of any region in the state; nearly four times more than would be expected based on popula-tion alone. Another $2,505,000 is available for alloca-tion on a regional basis. The regional proj-ects will be selected in December 2016.
