Adopt a resolution approving the Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan. <br />2. Direct staff to incorporate the findings of the Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan into <br />the City's Active Transportation Plan. <br />More than 50 percent of Santa Ana residents do not have access to a personal car. In an effort <br />to provide Santa Ana residents with alternative need mobility options, the Santa Ana City Council <br />directed staff, through the City's Five-year Strategic Plan, to develop a master plan of bicycle and <br />pedestrian infrastructure to ensure Santa Ana residents have access to safe streets, regardless <br />of their transportation mode. <br />On March 3, 2015, the City Council approved implementation of an Active Transportation <br />Program grant awarded by the California Transportation Commission for the development of a <br />Complete Streets Plan in Central Santa Ana. Following a Request for Proposals process, the <br />City Council approved an Agreement with KTU&A Planning and Landscape Design to develop <br />the Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan. <br />Outreach for this community-based plan began in the spring of 2016 and concluded in the spring <br />of 2017. The outreach effort identified top priority corridors in Central Santa Ana (Exhibit 1 — <br />Map). The Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan developed recommendations, conceptual <br />renderings, and cost estimates for those 11 top priority corridors (Exhibit 2). City staff will use the <br />final plan to pursue grant funds for the implementation of the proposed projects outlined in the <br />plan. <br />One of the requirements of the grant for this project is to have Council approve a resolution <br />recognizing the final plan (Exhibit 3). Staff is requesting approval of this recommended action in <br />55A-1 <br />
