CITY OF SANTA ANA ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES I TRAFFIC MAY 21, 2007 Our staff background in municipal government offers us a familiarity with regulations and requirements, and an awareness of the internal operations and processes of a governmental agency. Kimley-Horn's experienced planners support you in assessing your full range of options — locational, modal, and size — in the context of the City's study parameters, growth expectations, and strategic goals. Kimley-Horn will provide the needed support for your efforts to enhance transportation systems. We are small enough to give the City personal attention, yet large enough to tackle any major development project. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC MODELING Kimley-Horn's comprehensive modeling process provides dependable information for effective decision -making in single -mode and multi -modal contexts, for the short-term or the long-range. We also develop traffic simulations using Synch ro/Si mTraffic and other software to facilitate a better understanding of how future traffic will actually flow with proposed improvements. We maintain consistency with other planning efforts by using existing data where available, integrating them through a geographic information system or other data management system for on -going use. Where appropriate, we can refine or customize available models to address specific issues of particular importance to the City. PARKING ANALYSIS We understand that parking is about communities, people, and business, as well as traffic. For more than 40 years, we have successfully balanced the needs of residents, business people, visitors, and public agencies by evaluating parking conditions to determine how to meet today's needs while laying a solid groundwork for future growth and anticipated needs. A variety of public agencies — governments, downtown development districts, airport authorities, and hospitals — have relied on Kimley-Horn for realistic parking projections for specific facilities, special events, or entire cities. We identify and prioritize an optimal mix of facility development and parking management strategies; build consensus for cost-effective solutions; and make sure rates, regulations, and ordinances reflect new land uses, support business development, and protect neighborhoods. NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT Kimley-Horn is experienced in developing programs designed to ensure that new developments, particularly in urban areas, form a part of the commercial/residential fabric of the community in terms of design, functionality, and safety. Our staff has the experience to meet this challenge by bridging business plans with neighborhood aspirations. This partnership is realized though arranging and managing community consensus meetings, ensuring early discussions with local government officials, and planning and designing neighborhood -friendly features such as traffic calming elements and traffic regulation adjustments.
