The 2014 Regional Transportation Plan Promotes a More Efficient CHAPTER 5 STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS – VERSION 5 CHAPTER 5 STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS INTRODUCTION This chapter sets forth plans of action for the region to pursue and meet identified transportation needs and issues. Planned investments are consistent with the goals and policies of the plan, the Sustainable Community Strategy element (see chapter 4) and must be financially constrained. These projects are listed in the Constrained Program of Projects (Table 5-1) and are modeled in the Air Quality Conformity Analysis. The 2014 Regional Transportation Plan promotes Forecast modeling methods in this Regional Transportation a more efficient transportation Plan primarily use the “market-based approach” based on demographic data and economic trends (see chapter 3). The system that calls for fully forecast modeling was used to analyze the strategic funding alternative investments in the combined action elements found in this transportation modes, while chapter.. emphasizing transportation demand and transporation Alternative scenarios are not addressed in this document; they are, however, addressed and analyzed for their system management feasibility and impacts in the Environmental Impact Report approaches for new highway prepared for the 2014 Regional Transportation Plan, as capacity. required by the California Environmental Quality Act (State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15126(f) and 15126.6(a)). From this point, the alternatives have been predetermined and projects that would deliver the most benefit were selected. The 2014 Regional Transportation Plan promotes a more efficient transportation system that calls for fully funding alternative transportation modes, while emphasizing transportation demand and transporation system management approaches for new highway capacity. The Constrained Program of Projects (Table 5-1) includes projects that move the region toward a financially constrained and balanced system. Constrained projects have undergone air quality conformity analyses to ensure that they contribute to the Kern region’s compliance with state and federal air quality rules. The Unconstrained Program of Projects (Table 5-2) incorporates the region’s unbudgeted “vision.” These projects represent alternatives that could be moved to the constrained program if support for an individual project remains strong and if project funding is identified. Status as an unconstrained project does not imply that the project is not needed; rather, it simply cannot be accomplished given the fiscal constraints facing Kern County. The Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) is vigilant in its search for funding to support these projects. No unconstrained projects are included in the air quality conformity analysis. In the future, as the funding picture changes and community values and priorities for transportation projects are honed, unconstrained projects may be moved to the constrained program. Should this occur, the RTP would be amended and a new assessment of the plan’s conformity with state and federal air quality rules and standards would be made. For this Regional Transportation Plan, the Unconstrained Program of Projects reflects the vision for Kern County’s ideal system. Dialogue is ongoing with business, government, social services, and agriculture interests to improve everyone’s understanding of how the transportation system impacts the region’s quality of life. The participation process sheds light on important values such as mobility choice and accessibility, travel time reliability, cost effectiveness, and environmental sensitivity.

CHAPTER 5 STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS – VERSION 5 The planning process is iterative. System-wide performance measures have been developed and will be used to help policymakers and the community-at-large evaluate tradeoffs among transportation improvement alternatives. Performance measures will also be used to help evaluate how the 2014 RTP contributes to the Kern region’s quality of life. Refer to Chapter 2 for additional information about the performance measures. Each element in this chapter addresses proposed actions to implement the goals and policies of Chapter 2. These actions outline specifically how the goals of the plan will be accomplished. This chapter contains the following action elements: • Freight Movement Action Element • Public Transportation Action Element • Active Transportation Action Element • Transportation Air Emissions Reduction Action Elment • Intelligent Transportation Systems Action Element • Congestion Management Program Action Element • Regional Streets and Highways Action Element • Aviation Action Element • Safety/Security Action Element • Land Use Action Element In the following Constrained Program of Projects, major highway improvements are divided into five chronological groupings to facilitate estimations of project completion. Highway improvements that cannot be constructed within the financial constraint of any one group may be repeated in later groups. If a project is not fully funded within the five-year time frame, it would require phasing over a longer time frame. The entire corridor, however, would be environmentally assessed during the preliminary engineering phase. 2014 Preliminary Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) April 2013 5-2 1401 19th Street, Suite 300, Bakersfield, California 93301 The source of specific funding and Kern COG are not responsible for any misuse or misinformation contained in the report.

    Recommendations to Improve Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety for the Community of East Bakersfield October 2017 Recommendations to Improve Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety for the Community of East Bakersfield By Austin Hall, Tony Dang, Wendy Ortiz, California Walks; Jill Cooper, Katherine Chen, Ana Lopez, UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research & Education Center (SafeTREC) Introduction At the invitation of the Kern County Department of Public Health, the University of California at Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) and California Walks (Cal Walks) facilitated a community-driven pedestrian and bicycle safety action-planning workshop in East Bakersfield to improve pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, walkability, and bikeability across the East Bakersfield community. Prior to the workshop, Cal Walks staff conducted an in-person site visit on Friday, July 14, 2017, to adapt the Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training program curriculum to meet the local communities’ needs and to provide context-sensitive example strategies for the community’s existing conditions. Cal Walks facilitated the workshop on August 22, 2017, which consisted of: 1) an overview of multidisciplinary approaches to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety; 2) three walkability and bikeability assessments along three routes; and 3) small group action-planning discussions to facilitate the development of community-prioritized recommendations to inform East Bakersfield’s active transportation efforts. This report summarizes the workshop proceedings, as well as ideas identified during the process and recommendations for pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, policies, and programs. Background Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training Program The Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) program is a joint project of UC Berkeley SafeTREC and Cal Walks.

  • Chapter 8 Manzanar
    CHAPTER 8 MANZANAR Introduction The Manzanar Relocation Center, initially referred to as the “Owens Valley Reception Center”, was located at about 36oo44' N latitude and 118 09'W longitude, and at about 3,900 feet elevation in east-central California’s Inyo County (Figure 8.1). Independence lay about six miles north and Lone Pine approximately ten miles south along U.S. highway 395. Los Angeles is about 225 miles to the south and Las Vegas approximately 230 miles to the southeast. The relocation center was named after Manzanar, a turn-of-the-century fruit town at the site that disappeared after the City of Los Angeles purchased its land and water. The Los Angeles Aqueduct lies about a mile to the east. The Works Progress Administration (1939, p. 517-518), on the eve of World War II, described this area as: This section of US 395 penetrates a land of contrasts–cool crests and burning lowlands, fertile agricultural regions and untamed deserts. It is a land where Indians made a last stand against the invading white man, where bandits sought refuge from early vigilante retribution; a land of fortunes–past and present–in gold, silver, tungsten, marble, soda, and borax; and a land esteemed by sportsmen because of scores of lakes and streams abounding with trout and forests alive with game. The highway follows the irregular base of the towering Sierra Nevada, past the highest peak in any of the States–Mount Whitney–at the western approach to Death Valley, the Nation’s lowest, and hottest, area. The following pages address: 1) the physical and human setting in which Manzanar was located; 2) why east central California was selected for a relocation center; 3) the structural layout of Manzanar; 4) the origins of Manzanar’s evacuees; 5) how Manzanar’s evacuees interacted with the physical and human environments of east central California; 6) relocation patterns of Manzanar’s evacuees; 7) the fate of Manzanar after closing; and 8) the impact of Manzanar on east central California some 60 years after closing.

  • 4.13 Public Health and Safety
    METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EIR 4.13 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY This section describes the potential risks to human health as a result of exposure to agricultural pesticides, radon emissions, and spores of the Coccidioides Immitis Fungus (Valley Fever). This section also describes the means by which hazardous substances are regulated from a federal, state and local perspective and discusses potential adverse impacts to human health and the environment due to exposure to hazardous materials. Finally, this section addresses public safety issues associated with rail line and aircraft overflight hazards. Aircraft overflight hazards address public safety issues with the Meadows Field Airport and Bakersfield Airpark. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS Agricultural Chemicals Environmental risks to human health known to exist in the San Joaquin Valley include potential exposure to unsafe agricultural chemicals as a result of development on or adjacent to agricultural lands. According to the Kern County Health Department, potential risks to human health due to pesticide usage can result from contamination of groundwater, inhalation due to crop dusting, and inhalation of contaminated dust, as a result of grading activities. Additionally, pesticide overspray is a potential human health hazard. Pesticide overspray is defined as applying pesticide beyond the boundaries of the target area. Pesticide drift, like overspray, often implies a lack of due care on the part of the pesticide applicator. Drift is defined as the movement of pesticide in air currents or by diffusion onto property beyond the boundaries of the target area. Agricultural pesticides have contaminated certain groundwater basins in the west Bakersfield area; as a result these basins are no longer in use (refer to Section 4.8, Hydrology and Drainage).
