ATTACHMENT <br />Many of the residents in Santa Ana commute by car and find traffic to be frustrating. While <br />some would like to commute by walking or biking, they do not feel that there are safe options <br />available. Several interviewees indicated that particular intersections are dangerous. Those walking <br />or biking will often use side streets to avoid the traffic of main streets. Overall, however, walking was <br />considered a relaxing activity, whether alone or as a way to spend time with family. <br />Santa Ana residents want to buy affordable, high quality, healthy, nutritious and traditional <br />(culturally relevant) foods at their local grocery store -or market. Affordability was a very important <br />consideration for food purchases: some respondents described a sense of pride in being able to get <br />good value for the food that they buy. They also enjoy the convenience of purchasing all of their <br />needed items in a single place. Proximity was mentioned as a key factor in choosing which store to <br />use. Interviewees primarily use Northgate and Food4Less, while Superior Foods was suggested as a <br />good place for buying traditional foods. The local Farmers' Market was said to be too expensive for <br />many Santa Ana residents. Grocery shopping is most commonly done in the evening after work, on <br />the way home, or during the weekend. For some residents, it is a social experience, a time to be with <br />family and get the things that they need for their home, providing them with a sense of service and <br />accomplishment after completing family responsibilities. <br />The Nmi practice WS _A_27a Ana Wellness Diistriet: A study of demand and supply for wellness goods and servires <br />
