2017 LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM <br />Improvement Program community engagement <br />efforts. <br />Discuss with state and federal legislature <br />representatives the need to find a funding <br />stream to help the Santa Ana Public Library and <br />its cohort of Youth Civic Engagement interns <br />provide a 5 -year effort to increase voter <br />registration. <br />(PBA) In late 2017, members of EMT discussed a <br />framework for advancing Santa Ana's proposed <br />Community Engagement Policy. Consultations <br />are continuing on a one on one basis with each <br />city agency with the intent of development a <br />consistent policy for advancing community <br />engagement internally. This policy is intended to <br />be presented to the Mayor and City Council in <br />early 2018 and once adopted, separate efforts <br />will be launched to develop a community <br />engagement strategy which will address work <br />underway with Santa Ana's residents and <br />external partners. At that time, grant funding <br />through federal and state channels will be <br />pursued. <br />(PRCSA) PRCSA was successful in obtaining <br />funding for a full-time Youth Services Supervisor <br />who will take lead in coordinating youth civic <br />engagement throughout the City. <br />GOAL 6: COMMUNITY <br />FACILITIES & <br />INFRASTRUCTURE <br />The City of Santa Ana has the responsibility to install and <br />maintain the basic facilities required for a community to <br />operate including streets, sidewalks and bikeways, sanitary <br />sewers, storm drains, water systems, public buildings and <br />facilities, and collection ofsolid waste. The City also has an <br />important advocacy role concerning mass transit and <br />public utilities. <br />O.C. Streetcar <br />(Public Works Agency) <br />Seek continued support for OC Streetcar federal <br />funding. This project is a modern streetcar <br />running from the Santa Ana Regional <br />Transportation Center (SARTC) through Santa <br />Ana's Downtown and Civic Center within mixed <br />flow traffic in city streets and within the Pacific <br />Electric right-of-way to Garden Grove. The <br />streetcar will expand regional transportation <br />system benefitting mobility and goods <br />movement as well as providing expanded <br />regional and local economic development <br />opportunities. <br />The OC Streetcar received final environmental <br />clearance in March 2015. In February 2016, the <br />OC Streetcar received federal consideration <br />when former President Obama included $125 <br />million for the OC Streetcar in his budget. <br />The Orange County Transportation Authority <br />(OCTA) has become the lead agency for the <br />design, construction, operations and <br />maintenance of the project. The project is <br />currently in the design phase and is scheduled to <br />begin construction in 2018. To date, 60 % design <br />review has been completed. <br />The OC Streetcar will link the bustling Santa Ana <br />Regional Transportation Center (SARTC), which <br />provides regional rail, OCTA bus, and intercity <br />and international bus services, to a new <br />multimodal hub at Harbor Boulevard / <br />Westminster Avenue in Garden Grove. Along the <br />way, OC Streetcar will connect directly with 18 <br />OCTA bus routes. OC Streetcar will serve the <br />historic downtown Santa Ana and Civic Center <br />which includes government offices, federal, state <br />and local courthouses, unique restaurants and <br />shops, an artists' village, several colleges and a <br />variety of community enrichment organizations. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />17 <br />6�W39 <br />
