EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />2.4 Existing Infrastructure for People Biking <br />Santa Ana's Master Plan of Bikeways 2022 aims to build upon the cur- <br />rent bicycle network to implement many miles of new facilities. Class <br />IV separated bikeways are proposed extensively citywide so residents <br />will be able to get across town in a protected bikeway. A few Class I <br />multi -use paths are being proposed, the longest segment along nearly <br />the entire Fairview Road corridor. Though separated bikeways are pri- <br />oritized, Class 11 bike lanes and III bike routes will be proposed as well. <br />Calmer residential streets are designated as Class III neighborways, <br />with sharrows and traffic calming. As shown in Figure 2-10, Santa Ana <br />has citywide coverage which will be enhanced as each bikeway proj- <br />ect from the Master Plan is implemented. <br />2.5 Equity and Disadvantaged Communities <br />California census tracts in the highest 25 percentile are considered <br />disadvantaged communities per Senate Bill 535. The higher the CalEn- <br />viroScreen score, or darker the red color, the more disproportionate- <br />ly burdened a community is by multiple sources of pollution and with <br />population characteristics that make them more sensitive to pollution. <br />In Santa Ana, 24 of the City's 64 census tracts are considered disad- <br />vantaged, as shown in Figure 2-11. <br />Understanding where disadvantaged communities are located helps <br />guide the City to make informed decisions during the recommenda- <br />tions and prioritization process. Senate Bill 535 states that at least a <br />quarter of California Climate Investments go to disadvantaged com- <br />munities. California Climate Investments are funds from the proceeds <br />of California's Cap -and -Trade Program and specifically target reducing <br />greenhouse gas emissions. <br />In recent years in the State of California, there has been an increased <br />emphasis on safety, active transportation for public health, and green- <br />house gas reduction. All mitigation measures and recommended pro- <br />jects for the SAVZ Plan will be passed through a community -driven lens <br />for infrastructure and non -infrastructure programming. <br />SANTAANA VISION ZERO PLAN 35 <br />
