Project W is an <br />OCTA- funded program which provides for bus stop improvements for the 100 - busiest bus stops in <br />Orange County, 56 of which are in Santa Ana. In this call for applications, the City will pursue <br />funding for improving 29 bus stop locations that currently do not have bus shelters. Eligible <br />improvements include bus shelters or shade structures, seating, waste receptacles, ad displays, <br />bus stop lighting, information displays, installation of electric services on bus shelters, and minor <br />improvements to sidewalks. <br />OCTA requires a resolution from the City to submit the funding applications and to accept <br />awarded funds. This is the first cycle of Project W funding; timing of additional cycles is yet to be <br />determined. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />Per Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act, this action is exempt from <br />further review, as there is no potential for any environmental impact. <br />5513-1 <br />
