The City Council also acknowledges the benefits and value forthe public health <br />and welfare of reducing vehicle miles traveled and increasing transportation by <br />walking, bicycling, and public transportation. <br />D. On March 3, 2015, the City Council recognized an Active Transportation <br />Program grant from the California Transportation Commission for the <br />development of a Complete Streets Plan in Central Santa Ana. The Plan was <br />completed, with the assistance of community outreach, in November 2018. <br />E. A balanced transportation system that includes Complete Streets is conducive to <br />streets that are lively with people walking and bicycling to everyday destinations, <br />such as schools, shops, restaurants, businesses, parks, transit, and jobs, which <br />in turn enhances neighborhood economic vitality and livability. <br />F.
