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. The Project will transform the unused area into a beautiful new green space with <br />drought tolerant landscaping, shade trees, seating and benches, signage, waste receptacles, <br />pedestrian walkways, recreational features, lighting, and a stormwater treatment system. The <br />Project will dramatically improve the neighborhood and provide numerous benefits for the <br />community. <br />KidWorks CDC supports the Project and the City's efforts to beautify Santa Ana, enhance the <br />environment, and improve water quality. The Project takes steps towards increasing urban <br />green space, meeting important water quality goals, and addressing climate change. <br />If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact David Benavides at <br />(714) 864-9400 ext. 107 or David.benavides@kidworksoc.org. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />David Benavides <br />Executive Director/CEO <br />KidWorks CDC <br />The KidWorks Mission: Restoring at -risk neighborhoods ... one life at a time. <br />
