6.1 Overview <br />This chapter focuses on the key outcomes of the Plan: the recommen- <br />dations and initial project implementation to support Santa Ana Vision <br />Zero. Section 6.2 presents an overview of the project prioritization <br />process and shares a list of the ranked projects. Section 6.3 shares <br />a field review summary from site visits at each location. Section 6.4 <br />includes the specific corridor designs and corresponding cut sheets <br />that show initial project recommendations and what measures should <br />be implemented at each location. A key concept of Vision Zero is that <br />countermeasures shouldn'tjust be implemented at key locations where <br />collisions have already occurred. Rather, they should be proactively im- <br />plemented at locations where collisions are likely going to occur, es- <br />pecially high -severity collisions. The call outs on the aerial photos are <br />intended to be used to pursue grant funding for implementation. Some <br />cut sheets take projects further with preliminary engineering drawings. <br />6.2 Project Prioritization <br />Developing the project prioritization criteria was a combined data -driv- <br />en and interactive process consisting of cumulative scores derived <br />from the various criteria, shown in Table 6-1. The project list with as- <br />signed scores is shown in Tables 6-2 and 6-3. The prioritization pro- <br />cess was developed in collaboration with focused partners, with equity <br />for all users and transportation modes in mind. See Chapter 4 for the <br />list of public, private, and local advocacy partners who helped develop <br />this criteria with objective and equity -based data. The equity impact <br />assessments of the proposed projects and strategies, as well as the <br />population demographics, were a key concern during the analysis and <br />project recommendation process. Ultimately, the projects recommend- <br />ed are all in the underrepresented and underserved areas of Santa <br />Ana and the policies and strategies recommended, focused on ad- <br />dressing equity concerns. Figure 6-1 maps the top twenty priority proj- <br />ects as per the prioritization process as well as the project corridors <br />from the 2016 SMSA study. <br />Table 6-1: Project Prioritization Criteria <br />Crit <br />Descripti <br />KSI/mile <br />The KSI/mile Score represents the number of <br />people Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) per mile. <br />Each fatality and serious injury received one <br />point, no weight was applied. The higher the <br />KSI, the more likely a corridor needs Vision Zero <br />countermeasures implemented. <br />Street Lane <br />The street lane score represents the number <br />Score <br />of lanes on a corridor. Each lane received one <br />point, 6 being the highest. The more lanes a <br />street has, the more dangerous it is for people <br />walking and bicycling. <br />Median Island <br />Median Islands are one of the most effective <br />Score <br />Vision Zero countermeasures. A Corridor that <br />has a median receives a 0, a partial median <br />receives a 4, and no median receives an 8. <br />Equity, Public, <br />This score is compiled of the number of sur- <br />and Professional <br />vey comments, stakeholder input; professional <br />Score <br />judgment from the project team and the City of <br />Santa Ana on the need of a corridor to receive <br />countermeasures, and it includes results from <br />the Equity Analysis. <br />Total Score <br />The Total Score represents the sum of each pri- <br />oritization criteria. The top 5 scores are to be the <br />top five projects, which will go into more detailed <br />conceptual design. <br />90 <br />
