FIXED GUIDEWAY PROJECT <br />The cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove in cooperation with the Orange County <br />Transportation Authority (OCTA) are proposing to build a fixed guideway /streetcar <br />transportation system between the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) and a <br />new transportation center in Garden Grove. The system would provide transit services for <br />commuters travelling from the train station to employment and activity centers in the heart of <br />Orange County and for residents and visitors alike travelling to destinations throughout the <br />area. <br />The streetcar would provide the YMCA site with easy access to both the Civic Center and <br />downtown. One of the proposed routes for the fixed guideway /streetcar transportation system <br />would travel westbound only on Civic Center Drive between Bush and Flower and eastbound <br />only on Fifth Street between Ross and Minter. Another proposed route is eastbound on 4`" <br />Street from Ross Street to Mortimer and westbound on Santa Ana Boulevard providing an <br />alternate mode of transportation in and out of the downtown and Civic Center area. A decision <br />has yet to be made regarding the route selection for the Fixed Guideway.
