Santa Ana Go Local Step 1 March 3, 2008 Page 2 of 2 2. Expansion of the SARTC - Expansion of the SARTC would support the expanded Metrolink service and accommodate the intermodal transportation system that includes a streetcar, BRT, local and regional buses, bikes, and pedestrians. The SARTC expansion would incorporate transit oriented development and include high rise office towers consistent with the Renaissance Specific Plan. Finally, the SARTC expansion would include a grade separation of Santa Ana Boulevard and LOSSAN Corridor. 3. Use of the PE Right-of-Way - To take advantage of the opportunity provided by the OCTA-owned PE Right-of-Way, the project concept includes an arterial street extending from the SR-22 to Raitt Street and the construction of a new interchange at the intersection of Newhope Street and the SR-22. The combination of the arterial streets and interchange will provide direct access to central Santa Ana from Garden Grove and the region. The arterial would accommodate the modern streetcar and possibly future BRT services and provide development opportunities for the Willowick Golf Course site owned by the City of Garden Grove. City Council action to submit the Step 1 Project Concept to OCTA would also include a request for funding to further develop the three components of the project concept in Step 2. Activities will include planning, conceptual engineering, environmental analyses and document preparation, development of a funding strategy, and public outreach for each component.
