E=3111MMIRWiTil rt. 1 MUM '. Getting citizens to participate in public outreach activities Providing the ability for the public to give substantial input should bean integral part of every project. However, we have found that it can be difficult to convince citizens to attend public meet- ings, especially if there is no looming controversy to attract their attention. With that concern in mind, we reached out to SAAS to be part of our team to provide grassroots outreach throughout Central Santa Ana, and if needed, city wide. Among the meth- ods employed to boost attendance Is to provide food and prize giveaways (all supplied by sponsors), activities for kids, child care and valet bicycle parking. We will work with the city to actively promote the event through a number of channels, including social media such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as local media outlets and SAAS' network or organizations. Improving neighborhood connectivity Well connected non -motorized transportation facilities like bicycle paths and lanes need to be presented as a way to provide mo- bility choices for all, not just drivers, and notjust as a recreational asset. While two of the study area corridors are disconnected from each other and the design within them may improve their segments respectively, the connections to each other will be just as import- antThese five corridors will form the backbone of the project, however the connections between them will be important for a complete network between schools, parks, downtown and the Santa Ana River and Maple Street trails. We look to employ both technical and simple tools to help identify these streets for further public input and design. Value Added Scope of Work The proposed costs and this technical approach accomplishes all aspects of the required scope of work as listed in the RFP. In many cases, we have exceeded the scope of work by offering various value added elements in our approach that are fully included in the attached costs.These include: Use of interactive mapping and Complete Street toolkit as consensus building tools Use of 3D visualization tools including animations, photo -simu- lations and 3D cross sections Production ofwalktime and biketime analysis • Bicycle and Pedestrian Comfort Level/Traffic Stress Model Bicycle -Pedestrian Counts • Development of an online survey tool • Inclusion of public art, wayfinding, placemaking, urban forest- ry and stormwater retention as part of all proposed mobility solutions Proposed Schedule Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan RFP No.: 15-067
