The Project includes the installation of decorative <br />concrete along the slopes near the railroad undercrossing, new security fencing, and a <br />stormwater treatment device (Exhibit 1). The goal of the project is to improve water <br />quality and address stormwater pollution via the stabilization of the dirt slopes, <br />elimination of trespassing and encampments, and installation of a stormwater treatment <br />device. The project will also enhance the aesthetics of this important gateway to <br />Downtown Santa Ana. <br />On December 20, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to EverLevel <br />Holdings, LLC for the First Street Slope Stabilization Project.
