Williams, Assistant Superintendent Superintendent of Schools <br />March 16, 2022 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Attention: Craig Foster, NPDES Manager <br />20 Civic Center Plaza (M-22) <br />Santa Ana, California 92701 <br />RE: Letter of Support for City of Santa Ana Bristol -Tolliver Urban Greening Project <br />Dear Mr. Foster, <br />We understand the City of Santa Ana (City) is seeking grant funding from the California Natural <br />Resources Agency Urban Greening Grant Program for the Bristol -Tolliver Urban Greening <br />Project (Project). The Project area currently consists of vacant and unused parcels located along <br />the west side of Bristol Street, between McFadden Avenue and Tolliver Street, in a dense urban <br />community. These lots are immediately adjacent to King Elementary School, and the park would <br />be a significant benefit to the children of our community. The Project will transform the unused <br />area into a beautiful new green space with drought tolerant landscaping, shade trees, seating and <br />benches, signage, waste receptacles, pedestrian walkways, recreational/educational features, <br />lighting, and a stormwater treatment system. The Project will dramatically improve the <br />neighborhood and provide numerous benefits for the neighborhood. <br />The Santa Ana Unified School District supports the Project and the City's efforts to beautify <br />Santa Ana, enhance the environment near the major street and school, and improve water quality. <br />The Project takes steps towards increasing urban green space, meeting important water quality <br />goals, and addressing climate change. <br />If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at (714) 480-5356 <br />or orin.williams@sausd.us <br />Respectfully sub ' ed, <br />Orin Williams <br />Assistant Superintendent <br />Facilities & Governmental Relations <br />1601 East Chestnut Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92701-6322, (714) 480-5356 <br />BOARD OF EDUCATION <br />Rigo Rodriguez, Ph.D., President • Carolyn Torres, Vice President <br />Alfonso Alvarez, E.D., Clerk • John Palacio, Member • Valerie Amezcua, Member <br />
