HARBOR BOULEVARD STUDY Stephenson, Inc., summarized a
transportation study of Harbor
Boulevard in Orange County,
covering 21 miles and passing through seven cities. He reported that
the study utilized a Transportation Systems Management approach which
emphasized improvements as needed rather than major new construction,
and contained analyses of traffic flow, accident rates, travel speeds,
intersection delays, cross-street contribution to traffic flow, and
other similar items. Following his presentation of specifics relative
to Harbor Boulevard within the City limits of Santa Aha, he responded to
Council questions. 1025
Following the work study session, the City Manager responded to several
questions raised by the Council relative to agenda items, including such
matters as the need for an Environmental Impact Statement relative to
the application for Urban Mass Transportation Act Funds for the Santa Ana/
Orange County Transportation Center; correspondence from Bruce Nestande,
Supervisor of the 3rd District, to John Acosta, which indicated the
Santa Ana/Orange County Transportation Center had been ranked number one
in priority for inter-modal facilities by the California Transportation
Commission; the value of the single audit concept for review of the
City's finances; and the need to add "All America City" to the water
tank visible from Interstate 5.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilmember Griset requested
COUNCILMEMBERS that the following editorial
entitled "Santa Ana- Worth
Celebrating," dated March 18,
1983, from the Los Angeles Times, be entered in its entirety in the
minutes of the ~ity Council meeting of March 21, 1983:
"The changes in Santa Ana go far beyond the redevelopment of its blighted
downtown areas. It is turning into a different city not only physically
but also philosophically.
If the people of Santa Ana or their neighbors in Orange County fail to
notice the change and the spirit behind it, they need only ponder the
city's selection by the National Municipal League for the prestigious
All America City award. Only eight cities nationwide were so honored
this year.
If someone had suggested a few years ago that Santa Aha would earn this
national honor, there would have been more than a few skeptics--and
understandably so. But not today.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 92 MARCH 21, 1983
Santa Aha is one of 26 cities in Orange County, neither the largest nor
the oldest. What distinguishes it, is that it houses 60% of the county's
poor, and has the largest minority population--8 of every 10 students in
its schools are Latino, Asian or Black.
Santa Ana, of all cities in the county, is most like other central cities
across the nation in which crime, poverty and deteriorating neighborhoods
pose major problems for residents and local government.
The All America Award is recognition of the fact that Santa Ana is doing
something about those problems and that its residents, rather than sur-
rendering, are fighting back. The award doesn't go to perfect cities
that have solved their problems. The award committee could probably
search the world over and never find a community worthy of that recogni-
tion. Instead, it looks for cities working to resolve their problems
and making significant gains.
In that regard, Santa Ana is well qualified.
When crime rates rose to troubling proportions, residents and police
formed a partnership in a Community Oriented Policing program that earned
widespread recognition and significantly reduced crime. The streets are
safer. And a decayed downtown, because of rehabilitation efforts that
are attracting more private capital than the public funds invested in
redevelopment, is taking on a fresh look and new vitality.
But, most important of all, Santa Ana is trying to involve all its resi-
dents. Minorities were hardly visible on the civic scene a few years
ago. Not so today. A major factor in winning the All America designation
was the cooperation and involvement of the city's diverse groups.
There are still conflicts, and there are still serious problems. But
Santa Ana's chances for success are much better than they were a few
years ago. That's something worth recognizing, and celebrating--in Santa
Ana and throughout Orange County."
