SCHEDULE A <br />GRANT DESCRIPTION <br />GRANT No. PS1716 <br />1. PROBLEM STATEMENT <br />PAGE 1 <br />With a population of just under 330,000, the City of Santa Ana is one of the fourteen highest population cities in <br />the State (Group A). The City is approximately 27.1 square miles. Santa Ana has a large volume of motor <br />vehicle traffic, with the arterials carrying 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles per day. There are also four freeways that <br />converge within the city and a total of 450 miles of streets. <br />Relative income and vehicle ownership levels within the City are significantly lower than statewide averages. <br />The City population's median age is the youngest of the seven largest cities in Orange County and the <br />residential density is one of the highest in the State. Transit ridership in Santa Ana is the highest in the County <br />with several of the busiest OCTA bus lines serving the City. As a result of climate and demographics, <br />pedestrian and bicycle dependent population is relatively high when compared to other communities in the <br />County or the State. Also, a significant portion of the adult bicyclists may not speak English or understand the <br />mules of the road, as well as a homeless population that use bicycles as their main form of transportation <br />In 2011 and 2012, the City of Santa Ana ranked 3113 for bicycle involved collisions. In 2013 the City of Santa <br />Ana ranked 1/14 for bicycle involved collisions.
