Legacy Square Transportation Improvements <br />August 20, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br />4 <br />4 <br />7 <br />3 <br />association with the Legacy Square Affordable Housing project recently completed on <br />Santa Ana Boulevard and French Street. The AHSC grant funds projects that make it <br />easier for Californians to drive less by ensuring housing, jobs, and key destinations are <br />accessible by walking, biking, and transit. The Legacy Square Transportation <br />Improvements project will construct bicycle and pedestrian improvements to increase <br />accessibility from the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) to residential <br />neighborhoods and downtown businesses. <br />The project will construct class II bicycle lanes (dedicated striped-bike lane) on Santiago <br />Street from Washington Avenue to SARTC (Exhibit 1 & 2) for bicycle safety. The bicycle <br />lane will have a buffer between the travel lanes. Pedestrian safety will also be improved <br />by the project by adding curb bulb-outs to reduce vehicular speeds through <br />intersections and shortening pedestrian crossing distances, installing ADA compliant <br />curb ramps, and removing sidewalk tripping hazards. A pocket park at Santa Ana <br />Boulevard and Mortimer Street will also be constructed with this project to enhance the <br />community. Landscaping, irrigation, benches, trash receptacles, and lighting will be part <br />of the pocket park. <br />Public Outreach and Contractor Participation <br />To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 69 <br />regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based.
