Several open ended answers from Question 5 by Survey Participants <br />are listed below. <br />• "The streets are very dark - as a driver it is hard to see pedes- <br />trians at night. As a pedestrian, it is very hard to be seen, espe- <br />cially when cars are turning into a driveway entrance. We need <br />better lighting, especially in high foot traffic areas and around <br />bus shelters." <br />• '7 think it would be better to create a safer biking lane so that <br />people actually use their bikes more and get exercise." <br />• "Can be dangerous walking. Uneven sidewalks are a fall risk. <br />Drivers turning right while people are in the crosswalk. Speeding <br />drivers through intersections." <br />• "Certain transit/ buses don't come very often on some streets & it <br />would be nice for certain routes to have more frequent buses. " <br />• "Santa Ana devotes an enormous amount of public space to cars. <br />Traffic speed on almost all streets are dangerously high, especial- <br />ly on arterials, and in many cases speed limits should be reduced <br />by half. We need to reduce the number of lanes and space we <br />provide for cars and provide more alternatives, not the other way <br />around." <br />4.3 Outreach Events <br />Booths were set up at scheduled and well -attended local events, <br />bringing the project's outreach efforts directly to community members <br />attending these events. This outreach method generates higher lev- <br />els of input than would have been possible through project -specific <br />presentations and workshops. The project scope originally asked to <br />attend four community events, but the fourth event had a relatively <br />low turn out, so LHA went above and beyond to attend a fifth event to <br />ensure that public engagement was well rounded and equitably repre- <br />sented the diverse population of Santa Ana. <br />Santa Ana Winter Village,January 6th, 2023 <br />Event Overview <br />On Friday, January 6th, LHA attended <br />the Santa Ana Winter Village, a month- <br />long community -wide holiday event. <br />This event draws people from all over <br />the City and County for a family -friendly <br />day of holiday fun with food, music, and <br />activities for kids. LHA held a booth <br />to inform the public about the project, <br />distribute surveys, and solicit feedback. <br />LHA Youth supported the survey <br />collection process and facilitated <br />engaging conversation around safety <br />recommendations for Santa Ana. <br />72 <br />
