Orozco, Norma From: THRIVE Santa Ana <thrivesantaana@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 12:34 PM To: eComment Subject: City Council Meeting - Item #14 - Parks Master Plan Dear City of Santa Ana, City Council and Mayor : I'm writing today to request that you DO NOT approve the Parks Master Plan until we assure key recommendations are included. Staff has summarized some key recommendations in its powerpoint presentation, on the slides titled "PRCSA COMMISSION/ADVISORY GROUP" and "OTHER CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS." I am happy to see that the acquisition of the Willowick Site for open space was included throughout the plan. If we are to make this a reality, it is important that the City allocate funding for such an acquisition, and advance conversations with the City of Garden Grove. More importantly, it is essential that planning such a vital community space be inclusive of local residents, particularly those sectors which have been historically excluded from land use conversations —youth, BIPOC, immigrant and refugee communities. Although the City made efforts to include community voices in this plan, we are far from where we need to be. Thank you for your attention and consideration. Please feel free to respond to this email if you would like to discuss further. Thank you, Karla Juarez THRIVE Santa Ana i Dale Helvig 2536 N.

Having a plan and implementing the plan are two entirely different efforts. I hope the City has enough willpower to implement the plan by increasing the available park space during the course of their duties. This is truly needed to support the health and well-being of the residents of Santa Ana. My comments are attached. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, Dale A.

While the City is planning a more comprehensive bikeway system, the PMP focuses on the off-street trail corridors (Class I or IV bikeways) that connect parks and support recreation. • Proposed Key Connections: These trails, shown in red on the map, were identified as priority opportunities to enhance pedestrian and bicycle connections to local parks and regional trails. Approximately 20.6 miles of trails are needed. • Proposed Golden Loop Trail: When completed, the Golden Loop Trail, shown in gold, will be a 17-mile multiuse path connecting the Santa Ana River corridor to other destinations. Approximately 4.5 miles of trails are needed to complete the loop.

In addition to adding parks to meet the needs of new growth, the community is demanding a significant increase in parkland to support improved park access for all. The recently adopted General Plan sets a long-range goal to provide three acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents in the future. As a 10-year investment strategy and action plan, the PMP provides detailed guidance and priorities to take the first step: increasing the City's ark s per 1,0 ents. This acquisition strategy includes acquiring many smaller Neighborhood Parks and Pocket Parks, as well as acquiring or expanding existing Community Parks and Citywide Parks. If feasible, the greatest acreage would stem from acquiring the Willowick Golf Course and converting it to a multiuse Citywide Park. While focusing on new acquisitions, the PMP also recommends a variety of improvements and enhancements to existing sites.

DIVERSE PARKS AND GREEN SPACES Identify and activate areas throughout Santa Ana to be used as park space and ensure these areas offer diverse activities and amenities. Rccording to the PMP survey, most Santa Ana residents walk or bike to parks, so improving safe routes to parks by enhancing existing infrastructure as well as adding green spaces integrated strategically throughout neighborhoods will make green space more accessible to all residents. Finding creative solutions like expanding joint-use agreements with SAUSD to provide active recreation and other programming was identified as a great opportunity for the city to consider. Community members felt strongly that converting City owned land to green space improve community access without requiring the acquisition of additional land. This could include public right-of-way such as medians and small swaths of land in neighborhoods that could be considered for pocket parks. Community members made it clear that existing parks need to provide a variety of recreation and open space experiences to community members throughout the city. y F P 016 - �rr �.a S A N T A A N A PARKS MASTER PLAN Page: 9 Number:1 Author:Tester Subject:Highlight Date:5/15/2022 4:19:58 PM See page 19 Figure 3-8: Are more trails, pathways and bike routes needed in Santa Ana? 70.0% 65.3% 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 22 8% 20.0% 11.8% 10.0% 0.0% No Unsure/don't know Yes Figure 3-9: What type of trail or pathway is most needed in Santa Ana? 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.0% 35.0% Paved trails for walking, bicycling,skateboarding,etc. 31.4% Unpaved trails for recreation/exercise (walking,jogging,... 30.1% Nature trails with interpretive signage 24.5% Paths and sidewalks to walk or bike to nearby parks 13.2% 9.1% Connections to the regional trail system 11.4% Connections to shopping and schools � 7.3% Other M 2.3% CHAPTER 3 : S A N T A A N A COMMUNI T Y Page: 10 piNumber:1 Author:Tester Subject:Highlight Date:5/15/2022 4:22:07 PM "Bicycle lanes" should be listed after"Connections to the..",if the data is correct. 10-MINUTE AND 5-MINUTE WALK According to TPL's ParkServe data, one-quarter TO PARKS (25%) of Santa Ana residents do not have a An important way to measure the sufficiency of developed park within a 10-minute walk from parkland is based on the percentage of residents their home.

Please support her effort with adding this safety and security to our neighborhood.

Our family has lived here for 11 years. We have had our cars broken into several times at night and it would be helpful if our cameras were able to catch the perpetrators. Unfortunately due to the fact that there's no lighting,the cameras can't catch them in the act. Please help us reduce crime by approving funds for lighting in our neighborhood!Thank you. -Terry Gonzalez 2
