5.4 Develop 5-10 year Street Light Program Funding Needs & Recommendations.
<br />(Municipal Advisor & Clanton) The 5-10 year Funding Needs will include the analysis of Upgrade
<br />Zones, Priority Safety Improvements, Funding Opportunities and other issues that arise during
<br />the development of this Street Lighting Master Plan.
<br />5.5 Deliverables: Final Cost & Funding Evaluation Document.
<br />6. Program Recommendations. Months 3-18. (Clanton with Evari support)
<br />6.1 Short-term & Long-term Upgrade Zones: Identify 1-for-1 Replacement vs. New or Supplemental
<br />Street Lighting.
<br />(Clanton & Evari) Short-term & Long-term Upgrade Zones will be evaluated based on existing
<br />conditions related to safety, reliability, existing infrastructure and areas that are identified as
<br />special character zones. Prioritization will be to improve safety and equity, then to improve
<br />character.
<br />6.2 Determine Character & Amenity Zones.
<br />(Clanto`'rt"& Evari) Street and pedestrian lighting helps establish the character and identity of
<br />the city as it is one of the most prominent features within the public right-of-way. Understanding
<br />the desired character of the City and how that relates to the street and pedestrian lighting will
<br />be part of the Visioning Session. Certain features may be applied in specific areas, creating a
<br />palette of lighting equipment that is suitable for the needs of each block. These features include
<br />the luminaire, armature, pole, base and foundation. Streetlights also provide real estate for
<br />additional features such as street signs, banner arms, planters, flag holders, power outlets for
<br />holiday lighting and event power, and smart city devices.
<br />6.3 Develop Prioritization System.
<br />(Clanton & Evari) A Street Lighting Prioritization System will be developed in collaboration with
<br />the City of Santa Ana with a data -driven approach that considers multiple factors to assess
<br />issues such as Safety, Equity, Reliability and Responsible Lighting, using data provided by the
<br />City, publicly available, and included in the Street Lighting Inventory. Data for this Prioritization
<br />System will include scoring categories for:
<br />Safety: accident rates, proximity to public transit, school zones, bike lanes, crosswalks and
<br />crime rates.
<br />Equity. public transportation usage, median income, ethnicity, infrastructure investment, access
<br />to parks, and residential density.
<br />Reliability., outage reports, outage reason, knock -downs, copper wire theft, pole damage, pole
<br />rust, electrical connection types, surge protection, luminaire and driver specifications.
<br />Responsible Lighting: excessive light levels, light pollution, light trespass, proximity to open
<br />space and critical habitat areas.
<br />6.4 Develop Street Lighting Warrants.
<br />(Clanton) Lighting Warrants will define where lighting is required and whether lighting is to
<br />be continuous, non -continuous or at intersections only. This analysis will include the FHWA
<br />Warranting Calculations that include traffic volumes, pedestrian activity, geometric factors, and
<br />nighttime accident rates. This will be evaluated along with other factors like equity, critical safety
<br />areas and community desire for street lighting.
<br />6.5 Recommend Hardware Considering Existing Inventory.
<br />(Clanton & Electrical Contractor) Starting with a review of existing hardware inventory,
<br />the Clanton Team will identify issues and challenges with existing hardware and develop
<br />recommendations for improvements.
<br />6.6 Cost Analysis per Zone — Order of Magnitude.
<br />(Clanton, Electrical Contractor, & Evari) This cost analysis per zone will utilize GIS based
<br />tools to characterize zones and costs associated with level of effort for replacement or 1-for-1
<br />luminaire, pole, foundation, wiring, conduit & boxes, and complete new installations, for each
<br />character zone.
