DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana received an Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant on January 26, 2024 for a traffic-calming project. This project will include the installation of various traffic calming and traffic safety improvements including rectangular rapid flashing beacons, curb extensions, a new bikeway, new/upgraded wheelchair ramps, raised crosswalks, sidewalks improvements, and median islands (Exhibit 1). The improvements will maintain the current restricted right turn at the intersection (Exhibit 2).
This project was not previously included in the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) due to funding being identified after the FY 2023-24 CIP program (Exhibit 3) had been finalized and approved, which is typical. Approval of this action will allow staff to commence work on the design phase for these projects in May 2024.
The United States Department of Transportation has fully executed the Program Supplement Agreement No. A456 (Exhibit 4) for project funding.
