DISCUSSION
The Flower Street Bike Trail is part of the Golden Loop Recreational Trail, a 24-mile regional trail
that meanders through the city. It is also part of the Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA) Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan which provides facilities for biking, jogging, and
walking. The Flower Street Bike trail is adjacent to local elementary, intermediate, and high
schools, and also to the South Coast Metro Arts and Entertainment District, South Coast Plaza,
and Metro Pointe shopping center.
On June 21, 2010, the City Council authorized the application for project funding through the
Transportation Enhancement (TE) Program administered by OCTA. OCTA authorized TE federal
funding up to $500,000 for the Flower Street Bike Trail Gap Closure Project. Additionally, the
State Recreation Trail Program approved funding in the amount of $550,000. As a condition of
these grants, $337,000 has been set aside as a City match under the Parks Acquisition and
Development Fund.
This project consists of installing a 10-foot-wide asphalt bicycle trail, including irrigation and
landscaping, along the flood channel that runs parallel to Flower Street, from MacArthur to
Sunflower, as shown in Exhibit 2. The project will also include a pedestrian plaza and trailhead
entry sculpture on the northeast corner of Flower and Sunflower Avenue.

The proposed project will accomplish the following objectives:
a) Provide regional commuter linkages within (and beyond) the city limits and expand
commuter opportunities on a regional level by closing the existing gap between Sunflower
and MacArthur.
b) Expand recreational opportunities on a regional level, as the Golden Loop Trail provides
linkages to extensive trail systems throughout Santa Ana and Costa Mesa that connect to
other neighboring cities in Orange County.
c) Increase the safety of walkers, joggers, cyclists, skaters, and equestrian users, and allow
full trail accessibility for persons with disabilities.
d) Address neighborhood concerns regarding the appearance of this section of Flower
Street.
These proposed improvements will provide commuters with a safe, environmentally friendly trail
that will connect more residents to recreational amenities and activity centers in the city and
around the county. Additionally, due to the favorable bid results, staff recommends including Bid
Item Nos. 47 and 49 of Additive Alternate 1 as part of this award. Those work items add security
lighting and an eight-foot wrought-iron fence in the amount $110,000.
