PROPOSAL STANDARD AVENUE PROTECTED BIKE LANES 3RD TO WARNER City of Santa Ana Pedestrian Crossings The project plans to signalize the Standard Avenue/Bishop Street intersection better serving pedestrian traffic including youth to Walker Elementary School. Additional pedestrian improvements include a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon at Wakeham Avenue or Wisteria Place, and discussion with City staff to determine if striping additional crosswalks is desired. The Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan (2016) prepared a comparison of segment demand and infrastructure supply analysis that identified high demand with high supply need on Standard Avenue between McFadden Avenue and Edinger Avenue. Mark Thomas team visits to the area show a high degree of pedestrian crossing area here as well as north of McFadden Avenue. We will work with the City to identify potential additional pedestrian crossing improvements and costs. Bike Signals The project includes a mix of bikeway types about Edinger Avenue with buffered bike lanes southerly and a separated bikeway northerly. Typically a separated bikeway would include dedicated bicycle signal phasing and employ no turn on red signage, but this treatment would not be included in a buffered bike lane configuration where the right -turn traffic would cross the bikeway at the green conflict zone striping. We recognize the City seeks to provide a high quality bikeway corridor to serve the existing and future bikeway traffic and will work with the City to evaluate available project budget to include bike phasing and provide a consistent and intuitive signal phasing treatment along the corridor. For our protected bikeway along Hoover Street in Westerminster, we modified the existing signals to include bicycle phases and no turn on red blank - out signs for turning vehicles. Land Use Access The project will provide a 2-mile north -south corridor as identified in the CSACS Plan. However, the design should incorporate access to land uses along the roadway and be sensitive to needs of localized uses such as school drop-off activity at Madison Elementary or peak demands at Madison Park. Please see the graphic below for initial design considerations near Walker Elementary School. Additional land use concerns may arise at Walker Elementary and the future park at the northeast corner of the Standard Avenue/McFadden Avenue intersection. ,u�ilo(� 'tlaCa/-tvrce��tS 1�ict�-up7 V IG i3# reWmmen05 a minimum 3-TOOT OOTTar ). for parking protected Class IV bikeways.The to, road section can be evaluated to provide a. i w!der buffer than shown in the concept plans. a �, Beveled curbs are angled to reduce pedal Strike hazardsfor bicyclists.
