Th e City of Orange Cove is located in the San Joaquin Valley, 8 miles east-southeast of Reedley. Th e City has constructed a Class I Trail that runs along the former railroad alignment that bisects the City. SR 63 runs north-south along Orange Cove’s eastern boundary, which is also the boundary between Fresno and Tulare Counties. Th e main east-west roadway is Park Boulevard, which is central to the City’s downtown business district.

Th e following factors also are notable to the safety and comfort of bicycling and walking in Orange Cove:

• Th ough the City has made much progress in adding sidewalks, many gaps still exist.

• Residents have expressed a strong desire for improved pedestrian crossings in many locations across the City.

No existing bike parking was confi rmed in the City of Orange Cove, though some bike parking may exist.

Figure 13-7: Orange Cove Free or Reduced Price Meal Eligibility Existing Trips

Based on data collected through the U.S. Census American Community Survey, approximately 0% of Orange Cove workers commute to work by bicycling and 3.0% commute to work by walking. Although the share of commuters that bicycle to work is much lower than the statewide average, the share of people who walk to work is higher than the state average, as shown in Table 13-2. However, these statistics only include workers who walk or ride every day, not those who do so occasionally. Reliable data on non-commute trips, including trips to school, trips for shopping, and recreational trips is not readily available and not included in these estimates. Th us, the total number of biking and walking trips in Orange Cove is higher than shown here.
