Understanding of Need <br />One tool the team plans to use is a GIS and Google Map based <br />tool to expedite the summary of comments collected both <br />geographically and statistically. This will allow new participants to <br />see where the majority <br />of the comments are u <br />located and what they <br />are. Seeing the summary <br />will help provide the 1E <br />background information <br />for the next exercises. Th is <br />'heat map"of issues can <br />be delineated by issue , <br />type (safety, amenities, <br />missing facility) or facility <br />type (pedestrian, transit, <br />bicycle or vehicle). <br />Another tool that will resonate with participants of all ages is our <br />Complete Street Interactive Toolkit. This Is simply a set of magnets <br />with complete street elements that will be available at all exercise <br />tables to experiment with design options.The KTU+A team has <br />seen success with <br />this tool to provide .M,." w - <br />visuals to reimag- <br />ine their street. An <br />added benefit is <br />that these elements <br />are scaled to best <br />practice dimensions <br />and can be used In " fN <br />a setting where vv[-fi <br />or other online capa- <br />bilities are limited. <br />Online and hard copy surveys will also be available to capture <br />additional comments from all participants who have more to say <br />during or after the charrette. <br />In coordination with the city and Advisory Group, the Low Stress <br />Routes previously analyzed can either be presented as possible <br />connecting corridors and voted on by participants, or developed <br />through the charrette process. By having a set of pre -selected <br />connecting corridors, the KTU+A team can prepare the materials <br />for these connectors In advance along with the five main corridors <br />for design recommendations, This will also assist in expediting <br />the design process by conducting field work on these Low Stress <br />Routes so they will be ready for public input and on-site design <br />development. As with previous branding methods, the team will <br />encourage participants to"brand" or develop themes for these <br />connections. <br />The five corridors each face specific challenges but have various <br />opportunities for improvement through design. Portraying the <br />challenges and opportunities of corridors as well as initiating <br />discussions can be difficult One method proven successful in <br />the Downtown Complete Streets Plan was the branding of each <br />corridor either by a play on the street name or the predominant <br />treatment recommended. As an example, below are some possi- <br />ble themes that walking/biking tours could help capitalize on: <br />Raitt Street -"Art on Raft' 'Less Wait on Raitt" <br />• 5th Street -'Enliven 5th', 'Connecting the 5th" <br />Bishop Street "Bringing out the Neighborhood' <br />Orange Street "Orange You Walking?' <br />St Andrews Place - "Connecting to Andrew" or"Placemaking on <br />St Andrews' <br />Orange Street -Wide streets through residential neighborhoods <br />RoittStreet- Large intersections forpedestrions and bicyclists to cross <br />StAndrews Place - Enhanced pedestrian facilities exist such as curb <br />extensions and pedestrian crossings <br />Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan RFP No.: 15-067 14 <br />
