Not only does this reduce accidents, but transportation planners believe cycletracks <br />encourage new cyclists. In order to implement our recently updated bicycle master plan, City <br />staff has been aggressively pursuing grant funding for bicycle projects. Active Transportation <br />Program (ATP) grant funding in the amount of $5.4 million has been earmarked for the design <br />and construction of the Santa Ana Boulevard & 5 t Street Protected Bike Lane Project.
