<br />22 <br /> <br />Santa Ana Green <br />Santa Ana has a commitment to improving quality of life by reducing carbon pollution and <br />energy use, both from its own operations and from the community as a whole in order to <br />create healthy neighborhoods as a part of the Santa Ana Green Program. The City’s <br />General Plan continues to build upon these ideas by providing goals and policies for <br />healthy neighborhood initiatives, which include tree planting, corridor greenways, build- <br />green initiatives, and energy conservation. <br /> Bristol-Tolliver Street Urban Greening <br />The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) Urban Greening Grant Program funds <br />projects that reduce greenhouse gases while also transforming the built environment into <br />places that are more sustainable, enjoyable, and effective in creating healthy and vibrant <br />communities. <br />The Public Works Agency (PWA) submitted a successful application for funding from the <br />Urban Greening Grant Program for the Bristol-Tolliver Street Greening Project and was <br />awarded funds on April 3, 2023. The project features the transformation of vacant City- <br />owned parcels at the intersection of Bristol Street and Tolliver Street into a 1.25-acre new <br />community park. The park will include drought tolerant landscaping, shade trees, <br />recreational features, pedestrian pathways, signage, lighting, picnic benches, a <br />stormwater bioretention basin, and a stormwater capture and reuse system for park <br />irrigation. <br /> <br />»Above: Draft site plan for the Bristol-Tolliver Urban Greening project.
