Award Contract to Aramexx Construction Civic Center Bike Boulevard and <br />Safe Routes to School Enhancements for Sepulveda Elementary School Projects <br />September 3, 2019 <br />Page 2 <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Civic Center Bike Boulevard Project is the result of a collaborative community effort in the <br />development of the Complete Streets Plan for Downtown Santa Ana. Extensive community <br />outreach was performed with a primary objective to improve safety and mobility for pedestrian and <br />bicyclists. The plan resulted in a number of pre -identified projects ready for grant consideration. <br />Complete Streets transform roadways originally designed to primarily serve vehicles into streets <br />which equally serve pedestrian and bicyclists, provide aesthetically pleasing public areas, and <br />result in community enhancements that help to establish vibrant neighborhoods. <br />The Civic Center Bike Boulevard stretches along Civic Center Boulevard from Broadway to <br />Santiago (Exhibit 1 and as shown below) connecting Downtown Santa Ana via the Lacy, Logan, <br />and French Park neighborhoods to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. The <br />improvement consists of four neighborhood traffic circles/mini roundabouts at the intersections of <br />Minter Street, Lacy Street, Garfield Street, and Poinsettia Street. Safety and aesthetic features <br />include 10 new curb bulb -out extensions, 64 new curb ramps, 30 shortened crosswalks, and a new <br />crossing at French Street. In addition, the work will provide updated signs, striping, and markings <br />in the corridor, and an added protected left -turn arrow signal modification at intersection of Main <br />Street and Civic Center Drive. <br />23A-2 <br />
