RESOLUTION NO. 2019-053
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA APPROVING THE SANTA ANA ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION PLAN
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and
declares as follows:
A. Recognizing that as many as fifty percent or more of Santa Ana residents rely
on walking, bicycling, and public transit as their primary means of
transportation, the City Council of Santa Ana, through the City's 5-year strategic
plan, directed staff to develop a master plan of bicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure to ensure that residents have access to safe streets, regardless
of their mode of transportation.
B. This master plan, known as the "Santa Ana Active Transportation Plan," has
been completed with funding from the California Department of Transportation
secured in partnership with the Southern California Association of
Governments. The plan was developed through extensive outreach to the
community beginning in 2017 and concluding in early 2019.
C. The Santa Ana Active Transportation Plan includes an inventory of existing bike
and pedestrian infrastructure and identifies deficiencies, develops and
prioritizes improvements, and strengthens pedestrian and bicycle policies. The
plan recognizes the importance of addressing barriers that prevent
nonmotorized trips from being safe, especially for the younger and lower -
income populations who cannot afford, operate, or choose to forgo vehicle
ownership.
D. Numerous environmental, health, and economic benefits are attributable to
bicycling and walking, especially as substitutes for travel by motor vehicle. In
addition to these benefits gained from an enhanced active transportation
infrastructure, there is also the potential to alleviate issues for disadvantaged
populations that are disproportionally impacted by rising transportation costs.
E. In formulating the Santa Ana Active Transportation Plan, numerous planning
documents were consulted, including the Santa Ana General Plan, the Santa Ana
Strategic Plan, the Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan, the Downtown Santa Ana

Complete Streets Plan, the Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan, and the
Safe Routes to School Plan.
F. The Santa Ana Active Transportation Plan includes cost estimates for priority
projects to enhance the City's active transportation infrastructure, as well as
potential funding sources.
G. Following approval of the Santa Ana Active Transportation Plan by the City
Council, City staff will pursue grant funds for the implementation of these
projects.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby approves the Santa
Ana Active Transportation Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A and will be on
file at the offices of the Public Works Agency of the City for public inspection.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the
City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting
ADOPTED this 18"' day of June, 2019.
