    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.

  • Home at Last! Kern County's Plan to End Homelessness
    HOME AT LAST! KERN COUNTY’S PLAN TO END HOMELESSNESS BY 2028 Prepared For The Citizens of Kern County By United Way of Kern County And The Kern County Homeless Collaborative May 2018 “It is my strong belief that every individual and family deserves safe, af- fordable housing. I know the caring and compassionate people of Bak- ersfield and Kern County share this goal. It can be achieved through proactive, coordinated action and investments in cost-effective initiatives that solve homelessness. We have developed the plan. Now the real work begins. I am asking that you please join us now in ending homelessness in our community.” Harvey Hall, 2008 Mayor of Bakersfield, 2000-2016 Dedicated to: Harvey L. Hall, 1941-2018 Bakersfield Mayor, Businessman, Visionary Leader, Humanitar- ian, and Friend Executive Summary Home At Last! Kern County’s Plan to End Homelessness by 2028 ii The Kern County Homeless Collaborative believes that home- lessness is a solvable social problem and that through collabo- rative planning and action, we can eventually ensure that every individual and family has safe, affordable housing. Solving homelessness is the morally correct thing to do and will improve the life of the community. We look forward to the day when homelessness becomes a rare, brief and non-recurring event. During the past decade, Kern County saw an overall decrease of almost 40% in its home- less population, despite challenges brought on by Great Recession of 2008-2010. This was in large part due to the work of the Kern County Homeless Collaborative (KCHC) and its partner agencies, guided by the 2008 Home First! A Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, which was prepared at the request of then Bakersfield Mayor Harvey L.
