Santa Ana City Council
September 15, 2026

The City has advanced these goals through several transportation safety planning efforts, including the Safe Mobility Santa Ana (SMSA) Plan adopted in 2016 and Active Transportation Plan adopted in 2019. In 2020, the City adopted the Santa Ana Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan, developed through a multi-agency partnership to promote walking and bicycling as safe and healthy transportation options for students traveling to and from school. In 2024, the City adopted its Vision Zero Action Plan, which updated the SMSA Plan and identified strategies to address serious collisions and improve safety for the City’s most vulnerable roadway users.

The City owns, operates, and maintains 50 parks and recreational facilities, consisting of:
• City Parks (6)
• Community Parks (17)
• Neighborhood Parks (12)
• Pocket Parks (8)
• Urban Plazas (3)
• Special Use Facilities (4)
While roadways adjacent to certain parks and schools have been evaluated through the Vision Zero Action Plan and Safe Routes to School Plan, the majority of routes providing access to the City’s 50 parks and recreational facilities have not been comprehensively studied. This planning gap identified the need for a Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan to evaluate existing conditions, identify accessibility and safety deficiencies, and develop recommended improvements that build upon the City’s previous transportation planning efforts. The wheelchair assessment will further evaluate pedestrian accessibility along routes serving City parks, including sidewalks, curb ramps, crossings, and other potential barriers to mobility. The proposed Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan will complement, rather than duplicate, these existing planning efforts by focusing specifically on safe and accessible routes to City parks and identifying mobility barriers for persons with disabilities.

The project will evaluate pedestrian and bicycle access to the City's 50 parks and recreational facilities, with a focus on routes within one-quarter mile of each park. Based on the City's existing pedestrian network, the combined park study areas encompass an estimated 250 miles of sidewalk before accounting for overlapping study areas. The wheelchair assessment will build upon the City's existing citywide inventory of approximately 7,400 curb-ramp locations and will update curb-ramp conditions, with park-area ramps receiving focused field review and other locations evaluated through a combination of desktop review and targeted field verification.

The City applied for and was awarded a Planning and Demonstration grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Fiscal Year 2023 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant program. The SS4A City Council 16 – 2 9/15/2026
Award of an Agreement for the Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan September 15, 2026

Program supports the planning, infrastructure, behavioral, and operational initiatives to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries among all roadway users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit and micromobility users, and commercial vehicle operators.

Due to federal staffing constraints and a high volume of grant agreements, U.S. DOT experienced significant processing delays for Fiscal Year 2023 awards. During the processing period, U.S. DOT required revisions to its standard grant agreements and provided the City with an updated agreement template on November 3, 2025. To mitigate delays in processing, the grant provides a five-year period of performance from the award date, with eligible grant expenditures required to be completed by September 30, 2028.

On December 2, 2025, City Council recognized $651,200 in Federal SS4A grant funding. Pursuant to the executed agreement with U.S. DOT, the City will contribute $162,654 local matching funds, resulting in a project budget of $813,854.

The Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan will evaluate pedestrian and bicycle access to City parks, identify existing safety and accessibility barriers, engage community stakeholders, and develop prioritized recommendations for future infrastructure improvements. The Plan will provide the City with an implementation framework to guide future capital projects and support applications for competitive grant funding.

The Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan is intended to serve as an implementation and funding framework for future pedestrian, bicycle, and accessibility improvements throughout the City. The City will leverage the approach used for its Safe Routes to School Plan, which has provided a foundation for identifying, prioritizing, developing, and pursuing funding for improvements around schools. To date, the City has successfully secured over $100 million in grant funding for Safe Routes to School and related active transportation improvements, including funding through the Active Transportation Program (ATP) and other competitive funding sources.

Similarly, the Safe Routes to Parks Plan will identify specific infrastructure needs and recommended improvements; establish priorities based on safety accessibility, equity, community needs, and feasibility; and develop planning-level cost estimates and GIS mapping necessary to advance projects for future funding applications. The Plan will also identify appropriate federal, state, regional, and local funding opportunities and establish a prioritized list of projects that can be pursued as funding opportunities become available. This approach will allow the City to move from planning to implementation by using the completed Plan as a foundation for developing grant applications, capital improvement projects, and future design and construction efforts.

City Council 16 – 3 9/15/2026
Award of an Agreement for the Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan September 15, 2026

By establishing a citywide, data-driven, community-supported list of prioritized Safe Routes to Parks projects, the City will be better positioned to compete for discretionary funding programs such as the Active Transportation Program, Highway Safety Improvement Program, Safe Streets and Roads for All, and other Federal, State, and regional funding sources. The Plan will also identify opportunities to coordinate park access improvements with roadway, sidewalk, bicycle, transit, and accessibility projects already planned or programmed by the City and partner agencies.

This approach is consistent with the City's existing Safe Routes to School implementation model and is intended to create a repeatable pipeline of grant-ready projects that can be pursued over multiple funding cycles.

Full written disclosure must include, but is not limited to, identification of all persons implicated and a complete description of all relevant circumstances. Failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph will be a material breach of this Agreement.
g. Consultant covenants that none of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall participate in selecting or administrating any subcontract supported (in whole or in part) by City funds stemming from the Agreement where the awarding of the subcontract has any direct or indirect financial benefit or interest to any individual, as defined in subsections (d) and (e) above.

Mike Arizabal, Senior Transportation Analyst
City of Santa Ana – Public Works Agency
20 Civic Center Plaza
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Dear Mr. Arizabal and Members of the Selection Committee I’m excited to submit our interest in continuing our longstanding partnership with the City of Santa Ana. Over the years, we have built a strong track record of delivering thoughtful, community-driven plans that reflect the City’s vision and priorities.

Our work on key initiatives including the Downtown Complete Streets Plan, Central Santa Ana Complete Streets Plan, Active Transportation Plan, landscape design for Standard Avenue, the Vision Zero Action Plan and the current update, demonstrates our familiarity with Santa Ana’s neighborhoods, stakeholders, and implementation challenges. This experience allows us to move efficiently and effectively from planning to action while maintaining a high level of collaboration with City staff and the community.

We are also park planners and bring a holistic perspective that extends beyond park boundaries. We recognize that improvements do not stop at the park edge; rather, they must address safety, accessibility, and connectivity within and around these spaces. We anticipate that community engagement will surface important feedback related to park conditions and needs, and we are committed to documenting and synthesizing this input in a way that supports coordination across City departments. This integrated approach ensures that park planning efforts contribute to broader mobility, safety, and qualityof-life goals.

We take pride in developing plans that are not only visionary but also feasible and implementable. Over the past decade, our concepts, planning efforts, and robust community engagement strategies have helped the City secure more than $36 million in grant funding. In less than six years, many of these ideas have been realized through built improvements throughout Downtown Santa Ana, an outcome that reflects both the City’s leadership and the strength of our partnership. We are committed to continuing this momentum by delivering practical, fundable solutions that lead to measurable outcomes.

We value the meaningful relationships we have built with City staff, stakeholders, and residents, and we are eager to continue this collaboration. KTUA looks forward to the opportunity to support the City of Santa Ana in advancing safe, accessible, and vibrant parks and community spaces. KTUA acknowledges the Addenda released by the city on 03/16/2026.

Sincerely,

KTUA AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE

CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 2 b. Services Provided / KTUA
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Task 1.1 Project Management Plan
KTUA will prepare a Project Management Plan (PMP) for
the Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan (Plan) that includes key team contacts; scope, schedule, and budget; progress tracking and reporting procedures; invoicing processes and documentation standards; and
document control and QA/QC protocols. The PMP will define procedures for managing tasks, resources, communication, and performance, with mechanisms for early issue
identification and resolution. Once approved by the City, it will serve as the guiding document for project execution, and any changes will require approval from both parties. The PMP will be submitted for review and approval within thirty (30) days of contract execution.

Following contract execution, KTUA will also prepare
a comprehensive Project Master Schedule, to become
the Project Baseline Schedule upon approval by the
City. This schedule will detail all tasks, subtasks, start dates, durations, deliverable deadlines, milestones, and dependencies, including critical path activities. Deliverables will be submitted to the Project Development Team (PDT) per the schedule, with a two-week review period, after
which comments will be addressed, and two (2) revised
submissions will be provided.

Task 1.2 Kickoff Meeting and Project Development
Team (PDT) Meetings
KTUA will schedule and facilitate a virtual kick-off meeting within thirty (30) calendar days of contract execution.

KTUA will prepare the agenda and the meeting notes.

Recommended objectives for the kickoff meeting may
include, but are not limited to:
• Establish communication channels and protocols
• Review project objectives
• Refine Project Management Plan and Schedule
• Identify known preliminary issues, if any
• Develop ideas and strategies for community
engagement
• Develop a list of background data/plans to request and review
KTUA will schedule up to 16 monthly virtual PDT meetings to maintain strong communication and transparency,
and meet milestones. Monthly meetings will include the
consultant team, the City’s project manager, and key
stakeholders, such as the City’s Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Planning and Building agencies, as well as the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Santa Ana Unified School District, etc. KTUA will be responsible for creating all meeting materials, such as agendas, handouts, presentations, and meeting notes.

Task 1.3 Federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
Grant Program Reporting
KTUA has extensive experience with managing grant-funded projects, including several funded by the SS4A program, such as the City of Rialto Safety Action Plan, Town of Apple Valley Complete Streets Action Plan (SS4A grant), and the Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan update. KTUA will support the City with any reporting and invoicing requirements outlined by the SS4A Grant Program.

TASK 1 DELIVERABLES
• Project Management Plan and Schedule
• Kick-Off Meeting Agenda and Notes
• Monthly Invoices and Progress Reports
• PDT Monthly Meeting Materials, Agendas, and Notes
• SS4A Grant Reporting Methodology and Plans
TASK 2: EXISTING ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT
Task 2.1 Data Collection
With extensive experience working in Santa Ana, including current work on the Santa Ana Vision Zero Plan update, the KTUA team has the unique privilege of having consistent, present-day experience collecting and analyzing City data.

Proper selection and use of data is integral to supporting the development of a plan that is cohesive with other ongoing City efforts. The KTUA team will identify and develop a list of data to be used in Task 2 analyses, including, but not limited to:
• Traffic counts
• Bicycle and pedestrian counts
• Most recent 5-year collision data
• Posted speed limits and 85th percentile speeds
• Bus boardings and alightings at bus stops
• Sidewalk and curb ramp data
• Lighting data
Additionally, existing conditions will be observed and
recorded during fieldwork conducted by the KTUA team in the project’s early stages. Data not directly available will be submitted in a request to the City.

City Council 16 – 58 9/15/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 3 Sub-Task 2.1.1 Literature Review
KTUA will conduct a thorough literature review of
existing local and regional planning documents to ensure consistency with related planning efforts and support
future project development. This review will summarize
key information, including vision statements, goals and policies, priority corridors, planned improvements, and previous recommendations, from documents such as the
Santa Ana General Plan, Parks Master Plan, Vision Zero
Plan and update, Safe Routes to School Plan, and others as applicable.

Reviewing these documents will help ensure that the Plan aligns with ongoing and past initiatives. The City’s recently completed Parks Master Plan, Safe Routes to School
Plan, and Vision Zero Plan will be particularly valuable in identifying current community priorities and project corridor needs.

Task 2.2 Walk and Bike Audits
The KTUA team proposes technical Walk and Bike Audits,
as well as ‘Walk and Talk’ events, to ensure high-quality data is collected while meaningfully engaging community members in the data collection process. This combination of data collection provides a unique opportunity to gather both quantitative and qualitative data.

Subtask 2.2.1 Technical Walk and Bike Audits
Evari will conduct technical walk and bike audits for
each of the City’s 48 parks and facilities, focusing on the pedestrian and bicycle access routes within a quartermile radius of each park location. Using the mobile field data collection platform developed under Task 2.1, Evari field crews will systematically document infrastructure conditions along routes to and from each park, capturing attributes including missing or damaged sidewalks, missing or non-compliant curb ramps, potential crosswalk locations, bicycle infrastructure gaps, traffic calming needs, traffic signal deficiencies, signage, and pedestrian-scale lighting conditions.

Field crews will document conditions using point, line, and polygon features tied to the project geodatabase, with
data made available to the full project team through the interactive web GIS applications developed under Task 2.1.

To efficiently cover all 48 locations, Evari will organize the audits into geographic clusters and, where feasible, coordinate scheduling with KTUA to align with community Walk/Bike and Talk events (Subtask 2.2.2). Field audits will be conducted during periods of peak park utilization to ensure observations reflect typical user conditions.
b. Services Provided / KTUA
Subtasks 2.2.2 Walk and Talk Events
To ensure diversity and inclusion, six (6) qualitative audits will be conducted with specific community members;
these sessions will be referred to as “Walk/Bike and Talk” events. The KTUA team will develop an audit tool featuring colloquial, simple, and easily understandable language
tailored for community members who may not be familiar
with technical terminology for use during these “Walk/Bike and Talk” events. This tool will enable community members to identify existing issues allowing them to pinpoint problems such as uneven sidewalks, missing curb ramps, potential locations for crosswalks, necessary bicycle infrastructure, traffic calming measures, and any required enhancements to roadway signage and suggest potential improvements.

The Walk/Bike & Talk events include: 1) an event exclusively for youth; 2) an event exclusively for seniors; 3) an event exclusively for individuals with special needs; 4) an
event involving cyclists; 5) an event with members of the Stakeholder Group; and 6) an event open to any member of the community.

Because many parks are located near schools, most events will begin at school sites to maximize safety and comfort for participants, particularly those who may feel cautious moving through the community amid the current political climate. Each event will be kept under 45 minutes to
further support participant comfort. Community members
will be invited to share their needs and typical routes to and around City parks. At each of these events, translation services will be provided in Spanish and Vietnamese, and necessary accommodations will be made to suit the specific needs of each group taking into account age, physical
condition, and capabilities. Latino Health Access (LHA) maintains established relationships with senior centers and organizations that serve older adults and youth, as well as a relationship with the Regional Center of Orange County, which works with individuals with special needs.

on the project website; emailed and distributed to project stakeholder members, other LHA partners, promotores and participants; promoted via City’s website and newsletters (COSAS and Santa Ana Neighborhood) as well of Latino
Health Access Facebook, Instagram,Tik-Tok; and shared
with the network of neighborhood associations and ComLink leaders. Additionally, printed copies of the schedule will be distributed to the various community centers located within or near the parks. The schedule and invitation
emails to participate will also be sent to staff from OCTA, SAUSD, OCFA, and OCHCA; furthermore, staff from other
City departments including Parks & Recreation, Planning & Building, Community Development, and SAPD.

LHA will maintain a record of all outreach and promotion regarding the audits, and will take attendance at each of the audits and the Walk/Bike & Talk events, which may be shared with City staff if necessary.

Task 2.3 Existing Conditions Technical Memorandum
Based on the findings from Tasks 2.1 and 2.2, KTUA will prepare an Existing Conditions Technical Memorandum that summarizes opportunities, constraints, and challenges to be addressed in the Plan. This report will become the Existing Conditions chapter of the final Plan.

TASK 2 DELIVERABLES
• Data Collection/Existing Conditions Technical
Memorandum
• Walk and Talk Events (6) and Summaries
• Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Map
• Existing Conditions Technical Memorandum
TASK 3: COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND

ENGAGEMENT
The KTUA team believes that the most effective project is one that is built by the community and for the community.

The project will be conducted in an open and transparent manner with community members participating throughout
the process. In-person and indirect outreach strategies will be utilized, including the creation of a diverse stakeholder group, pop-ups, community workshops, survey collection
and social media promotion and invitations, project
outreach and education conducted through presentations, announcements, pop-ups at city and community events,
emails, phone calls, text messages, social media posts, newsletters, mass distribution of the audit schedule, and flyers for community workshops.

Task 3.1 Outreach and Engagement Plan
LHA will create and submit an inclusive Outreach and
Engagement plan designed to provide opportunities for
people of various ages to participate. This plan will allow us to meet the community “where they are” not only physically, but also in terms of their current level of knowledge regarding the subject matter, by creating educational infographics and a survey featuring easy-to-understand vocabulary, conducting in-person outreach in areas surrounding the parks, inviting residents to attend community workshops, and/or to complete the survey. LHA will take the time to provide project context and education regarding active transportation, safety, mobility, and access during every in-person interaction we have. This project and the outreach efforts will enable LHA to reach areas and individuals that could not be reached during the Vision Zero projects and the Santa Ana STPS plans, especially those walking and bicycling on routes that connect to park facilities.

LHA, in collaboration with the City of Santa Ana, will establish a stakeholder group comprising at least 20-25 members. First, LHA will compile a preliminary list of 40 potential stakeholders, which will include community members including youth and seniors who walk or use public transportation to access the city’s parks, also local CBOs (such as Santa Ana Active Street, The Bicycle Tree, KidWorks, El Centro Cultural de Mexico, THRIVE Santa Ana, Community HUB Santa Ana, etc.), as well as representatives from public institutions (OCTA, SAUSD, OCFA, OCHCA, City of Santa Ana departments: Parks &
Recreation, Planning & Building, Community Development, and SAPD), leaders from the different neighborhood association, Com-Link, sports leagues, faith based groups and businesses.

The KTUA team will plan and facilitate up to five (5)
Stakeholder meetings and be responsible for the preparation of agendas, presentation slides and meeting summaries.

Task 3.2 Website, Social Media, and Survey
Website
The KTUA team will develop a dynamic website that will be used throughout the entire planning process. Content will be developed for each major milestone, including, but not limited to, project updates, information about upcoming outreach opportunities, event summaries, links to relevant Santa Ana planning efforts, etc. An interactive online map will be included that allows residents and stakeholders to provide locationspecific comments and easily view the various datasets collected in Task 2.1. The City will be asked to create a simple landing page on its website that residents can bookmark and use to navigate to the consultant team’s custom project website.

CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 5 b. Services Provided / KTUA
Evari will provide support by including interactive web-based GIS applications built on relational SQL databases, providing the project team and City staff with dynamic tools that go beyond static map viewers. These applications will allow users to query, filter, and visualize collected data across multiple dimensions, for example, viewing collision clusters by severity and mode, overlaying infrastructure gaps against equity indicators, or comparing field audit findings across park service areas.

Promotional Materials & Social Media Graphics
The KTUA team will create graphics and social media
materials to spread project awareness and promote
outreach events throughout the planning process. Items
such as flyers, social media caption text, and press releases will be developed. Unique branding will be developed that will be used across all digital and printed media. A project logo, color palette, fonts, and taglines will be designed based on the City’s branding guidelines. All materials will also be provided in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Survey
LHA will support KTUA with the creation of a comprehensive and culturally relevant survey that will be made available for in-person events and online. The survey will be conducted before any recommendations are developed to understand
focus areas, priorities, and constraints and opportunities residents observe regarding getting to and from city parks.

The survey will be available for a long window of time, providing residents with an easily accessible opportunity to share their input without attending an in-person event. LHA will share the survey link via email and text message with members of the stakeholder group, community partners,
and LHA promotores and participants; additionally, LHA
will coordinate with the administrators of the COSAS and Neighborhood Santa Ana newsletters to ensure the survey is disseminated on those platforms as well. The online survey will be made available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

For those who do attend in-person events, printed surveys in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and, when applicable,
Cantonese, will be available to increase survey participation rates.

Task 3.3 Community Workshops and Pop-Ups
LHA, in collaboration with KTUA and with the support
of stakeholders and the City will plan and facilitate
two (2) community workshops. The workshops will
be an opportunity not only for the community to offer
recommendations but also for us to present preliminary
results from the audits and surveys. The first workshop will be in the middle of the engagement timeline, we will present an overview of the project vision and will provide an opportunity to gather community input regarding
concerns about pedestrian and cyclist traffic safety, public transportation issues, and general mobility challenges
related to traveling to and from local parks. The second workshop will be held near the end of the project and will be designed to present the findings as well as the draft of the Safe Routes to Parks Plan to the community.

Four (4) pop-up events will be held prior to the last
community workshop. The intention behind these events is to meet people where they are, inviting them to complete the survey and/or attend the community workshops. These pop-ups will take place at City or community events, as well as at key locations situated near parks. The goal is to host a total of six events (four pop-ups and two workshops) and, whenever possible, to distribute them so that at least one event is held in each City ward. LHA will remain in constant communication with the City of Santa Ana to identify suitable locations and to confirm specific venues and dates.

LHA will incorporate popular education principles to ensure that the pop-ups and workshops are both interactive,
engaging and educational. LHA and KTUA will create all
materials used in workshops, including boards, printouts, visual aids, posters, comment cards, maps, etc., attendees will rotate through various stations. Staff members from the City and the KTUA team will be present to provide support City Council 16 – 61 9/15/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 6 b. Services Provided / KTUA
and answer questions from the community. Spanish and
Vietnamese interpreters will be available at the community workshops, while English-to-Spanish interpretation services will be provided at the pop-up events.

LHA will share promotional materials and workshops flyers through its base of participants, posted on the project website and the City’s social media platforms, LHA social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), and shared with stakeholders, community centers, local CBOs, ComLink, City of Santa Ana, Neighborhood Initiatives, Santa Ana Unified’s Family and Community Engagement team, among
others, to support with the social media and newsletter promotion. LHA will maintain a record of all outreach and promotion regarding the workshops, and will capture
attendance at each event to share it with City staff when necessary. LHA will be proactive in selecting locations and times that are safer for the community, which is currently fearful of participating, and will work closely with the Orange County Rapid Response Network to monitor the area before and during in-person community events.

Subtask 3.3.1 Stakeholder Meetings
KTUA will facilitate up to five (5) virtual stakeholder meetings designed to give City staff and other key stakeholders
the opportunity to provide specific feedback and
recommendations unique to the needs of those attending
the meeting. Examples of stakeholders who may be part
of the meetings include, but are not limited to, City Public Works Agency, City Planning Building Agency, Santa Ana
Police Department, Orange County Transportation Authority, Santa Ana Unified School District, and Caltrans. KTUA will prepare meeting agendas, presentations, and summaries.

Task 3.4 City Council Meetings
KTUA will attend and present at up to two (2) City Council meetings, with one presentation following each community workshop. These presentations will be designed to provide Council members with updates on draft recommendations
and how they align with residents’ input received during the community engagement process. Council members will also be given the opportunity to comment on recommendations
to ensure the final Plan reflects the City’s broader goals and vision for the future.

TASK 3 DELIVERABLES
• Community Engagement Plan
• Online Social Media Materials, including website,
outreach promotion, and surveys
• Two (2) Community Workshops, Agendas, and Minutes

TASK 4: ANALYSIS
Task 4.1 Collision Analysis
KTUA will use guidance from the following sources to
conduct the collision analysis:
• Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM)
• Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool
• The Caltrans Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program
(SSARP) Guidelines
• The current Vision Zero Plan Update (to provide
longitudinal consistency)
The collision analysis will consist of a systematic review and study of the data collected, using sources such as SCAG’s High Injury Network (HIN) and the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS).

Data will be pulled for collisions occurring in the past five years, with a special focus on all pedestrian and bicycleinvolved collisions. The analysis will review collisions to identify correctable collision patterns, including , but not limited to: time of day, day of the week, lighting conditions, age of parties, year-by-year trends, primary collision factors, types of collisions, severity of injury, and fatalities. The data analysis will focus on instances of severe injuries and fatalities.

Task 4.2 Local Prioritization and Field Review
Task 4.2 will use a two-step prioritization matrix to identify sites (intersections or corridors) that will be explored further in Tasks 4.3 and 4.6. This prioritization matrix will begin with a review of quantitative data using criteria grouped into three categories: (1) Environmental Justice, (2) Safety, and (3) Park Usage and Parks Master Plan park access
recommendations. The data for these groups may include City Council 16 – 62 9/15/2026 CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 7 demographic data, CalEnviroScreen and Healthy Places
Index scores, road classifications, crash data within ¼ mile of parks, crime data within ¼ mile of parks, existing and future population counts, average daily traffic (ADT), etc. This data will be used to determine general locations where certain criteria indicating the need for safety countermeasures are most prevalent. From here, a review of qualitative data will be conducted with specific data criteria grouped into two categories: (1) Community Input and (2) City Priorities.

This data will help refine the locations of all recommended projects.

The criteria selected and methodology used for the
prioritization matrix were developed with various
prioritization methodologies in mind, including:
• Industry best practices/standards (National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), AmericaWalks, Safe Routes
Partnership, etc.)
• KTUA’s engagement toolkits
• City of Santa Ana Safe Routes to School Plan
• City of Santa Ana Parks Master Plan
• City of Santa Ana Vision Zero Plan and Update
The GIS tools the KTUA team have access to can also
support scenario-driven decision-making, such as
adjusting prioritization weights in real time to see how changes to criteria like collision severity, equity score, or proximity to schools reshape the ranking of recommended improvements. This approach gives City staff and
stakeholders a transparent, repeatable framework they
can continue to use beyond the life of this project - for grant applications, capital improvement programming, and ongoing performance tracking.

Task 4.3 Recommended Countermeasures Toolbox
Countermeasure Development
The development of recommended countermeasures will
be based on a comprehensive approach that combines
the existing conditions analysis as well as the KTUA team’s experience in active transportation, complete streets, and park planning. To illustrate potential countermeasures, the KTUA team will develop typologies based on the City’s
street classifications (Principal Arterial, Major Arterial, Primary Arterial, Secondary Arterial, Divided Collector, Collector, etc.) and the six park types identified in the 2022 Parks and Recreation Master Plan (Citywide Parks, Community
Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Pocket Parks, Urban Plazas,
and Special Use Facilities). Typologies will describe the potential countermeasures that are appropriate for each park and street classification combination. For example, a Community Park that is located on a Major Arterial may have recommendations that prioritize separated bikeways, bike boxes, green transition striping, enhanced crossings, pedestrian lighting, speed feedback signs, and wayfinding signage, where as a Pocket Park located on a Local Street may prioritize bicycle routes with sharrows, high-visibility crosswalks, curb extensions, and neighborhood traffic
circles.

City Council 16 – 63 9/15/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 8 b. Services Provided / KTUA
Tailored Countermeasure Cutsheets by Typology
KTUA will design each typology combination as a cut sheet that includes information such as: descriptions of park and street classifications, typical amenities found in the park, a list of mobility recommendations, a list of existing City parks that match this typology, and an illustrative 3D rendering. The development of these typologies will serve as a template for the City to use as it explores the types of recommendations to pursue during project design and
implementation. See graphic above.

Designed by Engineers to Advance Implementation
Countermeasures will be recommended based on guidance
from the 6 E’s of Safe Routes to School Planning. In
particular, Arcadis will focus on countermeasures related to ‘Engineering’ and ‘Evaluation’ strategies.
• Engineering focuses on recommendations that
physically alter the built environment to slow vehicle
traffic, improve pedestrian and bicyclist visibility, and create a safer environment for vulnerable travelers.

This is particularly important for vulnerable travelers trying to access park space in vehicle-dominant areas
of Santa Ana. Countermeasures in Santa Ana should
focus on traffic calming, and enhanced accessibility and safety, including ITS-based solutions that prioritize active transportation movements. Additionally, recommendations to improve placemaking will add to the comfort of the
environment and can enhance the branding of Santa Ana’s parks as a network of open space across the city.
• Evaluation focuses on identifying metrics for quantifying the benefits from bicycle and pedestrian improvements.

Examples of evaluation countermeasures may include
bicycle and pedestrian counts, level of traffic stress, and the percent reduction in bicyclist and pedestrian collisions.

This information can then be used by the City of Santa Ana to determine if other areas would benefit from this type of improvement, as well as provide the City with metrics to assist with reporting and grant funding pursuits.

Examples of engineering and evaluation countermeasures, but not limited to, that will effectively slow traffic and create safer routes to parks are listed in the table below.

City Council 16 – 64 9/15/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 9 b. Services Provided / KTUA
Task 4.4 Consistency Review
KTUA will review countermeasures for consistency
with local, regional, and state policies, regulations, and guidelines, as well as Safe Routes to Parks best practices developed by the Safe Routes Partnership. The KTUA
team will also ensure countermeasures align with related plans, including the Vision Zero Plan Update and previously adopted Santa Ana Safe Routes to Schools plan, First Street Multimodal Study, and other previous active transportation efforts, as well as OC Active (currently undergoing an
update) by OCTA, which was led by Arcadis and KTUA and
included a 6 Es toolkit for Orange County.

Task 4.5 Cost Estimates and Funding Sources
Arcadis will develop cost estimates for the projects and countermeasures identified in Task 4.2, Task 4.3, and Task

4.6. Cost estimates will be derived from a variety of reliable resources, including the Caltrans Consumer Construction Cost Indexes (CCI) and recently constructed projects in Southern California. Costs will be provided as unit costs and as total costs based on the concepts developed in Task 4.6.

Cost estimates can be used by the City to inform
future grant application pursuits. To facilitate future grant applications, the KTUA team will also develop a
comprehensive list of potential funding sources, including Federal, State, Regional, and Local funding sources. This deliverable will also include grant deadlines and direct links to specific grant programs. As the City is no stranger to applying for and winning competitive active transportation grants, identifying this information and gathering the
data and concepts early will help position the City as a competitive grant applicant to receive the funding needed to implement the Plan’s recommendations.

Task 4.6 Improvement Prioritization
Task 4.6 will use a specialized prioritization methodology to help the City make informed decisions on which projects to implement in short, mid, and long-term timeframes.

This methodology will use criteria similar to those in
Task 4.2, but will also incorporate new criteria specific to project implementation, such as the complexity and cost of the proposed recommendations, potential impacts on
maintenance operations, consistency/coordination with
other ongoing projects, etc. The results of this prioritization process will result in a table that indicates which projects the City should consider pursuing as funding opportunities arise in the near future. City Council 16 – 65 9/15/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 10 b. Services Provided / KTUA
KTUA has extensive experience assisting cities with project implementation by purposefully designing plans with grantready projects that can be used to develop competitive grant applications. For example, the City of Santa Ana has secured over $36 million in grant funding as a result of the five previous plans that the KTUA team has led.

Task 4.6.1 Concept Drawings
Upon reviewing the results of the improvement prioritization process mentioned above, the City will select three to
five projects they would like the KTUA team to develop as concept drawings. Concepts will be designed in AutoCAD at a conceptual level that clearly communicates the potential improvements appropriate for the selected project. The
concept designs are meant to be flexible and tailored to the project such as a half-mile corridor concept design or a more detailed intersection design. Concept drawings will include the following:
• An aerial layout of the top priority corridors
• Conceptual design of the proposed roadway/bikeway
geometry and traffic-calming features
• Conceptual design of pedestrian crossing safety
elements (crosswalks, median refuge islands, curb
ramps)
• Basic callouts identifying the improvements and
potential major impacts to existing surface culture
• Potential for conceptual traffic signal modification design (depending on chosen countermeasure)
• Potential for conceptual signing and striping design
(depending on chosen countermeasure)
The goal of these concept drawings will be to close gaps to improve access, safety, and comfort. The drawings
can also serve as guidance, along with the typology
recommendations, to complete other corridors or
intersections identified. The City can use these concepts to make future grant applications more competitive and
accelerate project implementation.

Task 4.7 Agency Coordination
KTUA will coordinate with partner agencies, such as SCAG and OCTA, to review ongoing/previously planned projects and minimize project redundancies. The goal will be to
ensure all new projects identified through this Plan will close gaps and complement any projects already planned within Santa Ana. This agency coordination will complement the consistency review described in Task 4.4.

Task 4.8 GIS Mapping
KTUA will create maps for each of the forty-eight (48) park sites. Each map will include critical existing conditions data as well as recommendations identified in Task 4.2.

Recommendations may include, but are not limited to,
sidewalk gap closures, new ADA curb ramps, proposed
bicycle facilities, enhanced crossings, etc. These maps will be designed to meet City GIS requirements.

TASK 4 DELIVERABLES
• Collision Analysis
• Improvement Prioritization Technical Memorandum
• Cost Estimates
• Ten (10) Corridor Concepts
• GIS Maps
TASK 5: WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT

5.1 Wheelchair Assessment
Evari will lead the citywide wheelchair assessment by
updating the City’s 2017 Sidewalk Connectivity Plan curb ramp inventory to reflect current conditions. Evari will employ a tiered assessment methodology that leverages the City’s existing GIS data and maximizes the value of field work already conducted under Task 2.

The 2017 curb ramp inventory, which includes ramp
presence, visual compliance status, truncated dome
condition, obstructions, and impedance scoring, will serve as the baseline dataset. Evari will collect post-2017 project records from the City’s Capital Improvement Program, Safe Routes to Schools Plan, and other completed construction projects to identify locations where curb ramps were
likely constructed, replaced, or modified since the original assessment.

Curb ramp locations within the quarter-mile park buffer will be updated directly using field data captured during the technical walk and bike audits (Subtask 2.2.1), eliminating the need for duplicate field visits. For locations outside the quarter-mile buffer, Evari will conduct a systematic desktop review using current aerial and street-level imagery to verify ramp status against the 2017 baseline and flag locations that appear changed, missing, or inconclusive for targeted field verification. Only locations that cannot be definitively assessed through desktop review will require in-person
inspection.

The result will be an updated citywide curb ramp inventory maintaining the original attribute schema, delivered in the City’s GIS environment, with missing and non-compliant
City Council 16 – 66 9/15/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 11 locations prioritized for future capital improvements. This updated inventory will be included as an appendix to the final Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan.

TASK 5 DELIVERABLES
• Citywide curb ramp inventory (GIS shapefile)
TASK 6: SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS AND

WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN
Task 6.1 Draft Plan
KTUA will create a draft Plan structured around the 6 E’s (Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Engineering,
Evaluation, and Equity) established by Safe Routes to
School planning principles. The Plan will be a friendly, graphic-heavy, easy-to-understand document that reflects all of the work completed. It will be purposefully designed for implementation to support the City’s commitment to
improving the lives of residents and visitors throughout Santa Ana. The draft Plan will be provided to the City for review via PDF. KTUA will provide two (2) rounds of revisions in preparation for sharing the final Plan with the City Council for adoption.

Task 6.2 Final Plan
KTUA will incorporate all City staff feedback collected through two routes of revisions and export a final version of the Plan. KTUA will prepare and present the final Plan to the City Council for adoption at an in person meeting. Upon completion of the Plan, the consultant team will provide the City with all applicable files at the close of the project, such as GIS datasets, engagement summaries, photos, CAD files, cost estimate spreadsheets, etc.

CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 14 The area in the City of Santa Ana between the Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) and Downtown includes a variety of land uses: transit oriented development, high density housing, schools, churches, recreational centers, parks, transportation center and commercial. The transportation modes servicing this area cover a broad spectrum including pedestrian, bicyclist, transit and motorist. Although the scale of Downtown and the SARTC are walkable and bikeable, the study area faces multiple challenges from high vehicle speeds, wide streets, a lack of bicycle facilities, the presence of schools, uncontrolled pedestrian crossings, and unsafe access to transit and shopping.

To address these challenges, KTUA worked with the City to develop a Downtown Complete Streets Plan between Downtown and the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center to improve access and mobility for all modes. The plan identified Complete Streets methods and designs to improve these modes within and around Downtown.

A large multi-lingual public outreach component included surveys, community advisory meetings, and a neighborhood workshop - a consecutive three-day workshop where walking and biking tours were conducted to gather input and intimately experience the Downtown area. The outcome was a plan with detailed recommendations for physical changes to streets, sidewalks and intersections that supports safe, active transportation along and across this study area. Through the public input process, stakeholder collaboration and primarily through the neighborhood workshop, five priority projects were identified and developed with preliminary designs. These concepts included planning level designs, 3D illustrations and costs estimates. The five projects were branded during the workshops with unique names such as Who’s on Third (Third Street), First on First (First Street), Cycle Track Square (Downtown to SARTC connection), Civic Duty (Civic Center Drive) and Ross is Boss (Ross Street).

CITY OF SANTA ANA DOWNTOWN COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN c. Firm and Team Experience / KTUA
City Council 16 – 70 9/15/2026
CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 15 Building on the momentum of the award-winning Santa Ana Downtown Zone Complete Streets Plan, KTUA was retained to continue the Complete Streets planning effort for Central Santa Ana. To support this effort, KTUA created several StoryMaps to help keep residents informed and to tackle technical topics. The City has identified five existing corridors to be part of the study with the goal of adding connections between them, and adding new corridors for a complete network. Because of the success of the outreach process, designs and grant procurement for the Downtown project, the process for Central Santa Ana was almost identical, while incorporating additional grassroots organizations to conduct the outreach.

As part of this project, a four-day workshop was completed averaging more than 30 people per day over an entire weekend. Translation services and materials were provided in Spanish. Various activities took place such as tactical urbanism with a demonstration cycle track and parklet, walking and biking tours and a bus-walk tour combination. The activities allowed participants to experience the City streets and transit firsthand and provide insight as to what they would like to see improved.

Participants engaged in various mapping and table exercises to narrow down the various options to their most important priorities. A follow up workshop was then conducted to select the top ten corridors to be included in the final plan. Participants were also involved in the recommendations of each corridor which included intersection art, traffic calming and streetscape improvements.

CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 16 The Santa Ana Vision Zero Update (SAVZ) builds on the original SMSA from 2016 to evaluate citywide traffic safety through a comprehensive analysis of traffic collisions.

The analysis phase includes identifying contributing factors or patterns in the collision data, to locate specific hot spot locations, citywide trends, and best practices in traffic safety to identify solutions that will evolve the roadway network in Santa Ana into one where roadway users can make transportation decisions and unanticipated mistakes without risk of severe injury or death. The plan will utilize the FHWA-sanctioned Safe Systems approach to improve the safety across the network, using low-cost but highly effective countermeasures.

KTUA provided data collection, analysis, GIS map production, and led the safety evaluation and field reviews for street segments and intersections that present the highest risk to vulnerable roadways users (bicyclists and pedestrians). The prioritization of risk factors established included collision patterns, severity of injuries, and proximity to school, parks, and other pedestrian/bicycle generating uses.

Based on the data collection, field review and collision analysis; countermeasures for proposed projects were recommended and CAD drawings were produced in AutoCAD for 20 corridors, segments, and intersections to mitigate potential future collisions and facilitate safe and comfortable trips for children’s travel to and from school.

TOWN OF APPLE VALLEY TOWN WIDE COMPLETE STREETS ACTION PLAN The Town of Apple Valley Complete Streets Action Plan (Plan) is a community-driven roadmap that has redefined the Town’s approach to safety and mobility. Informed by extensive public outreach and data analysis, the Plan identified 14 priority projects to improve walking, biking, transit, and ADA accessibility, with a focus on underserved areas and high-need corridors. Six projects also include grant-ready conceptual designs, detailed geoengineering surveys, 3D renderings, and cost estimates to accelerate implementation and support future grant applications. The technical depth of the Plan allowed the Town to move immediately from the planning phase into the grant application phase, setting a new standard for how small to mid-sized jurisdictions can accelerate infrastructure delivery.

To ensure the Plan addressed community priorities, the Town conducted a robust community engagement strategy that included a community survey, five pop-up events, eight focus groups and interviews, six advisory committee meetings, one virtual town hall, and two Town Council meetings. Through these activities, the Town engaged over 1,000 residents and gained insights into community needs that data alone could not provide.

The effectiveness of the Plan is best demonstrated by its immediate results. Within six months of adoption, the Town was awarded $10.9 million through the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program and SBCTA Article 3 funds. This success establishes a ten-year pipeline of impactful capital projects that will enhance the quality of life for Apple Valley residents well into the mid-2030s. *Grant Win*

CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 19 KTUA developed an Active Transportation Plan to provide a clear and comprehensive framework for safe, more convenient transit and non-motorized transportation options throughout the City. The plan identified and created a methodology to improve bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and safety by: expanding existing bicycle networks, improving pedestrian circulation, reducing vehicle trips, creating complete streets, prioritizing access to transit, creating a first and last mile transit routes plan, and prioritizing improvements to help build a healthy and livable community. The plan improves connectivity of the city’s bicycle network to the region’s network.

A critical component of this ATP was the Safe Routes to Parks plan which was vital to understand and enhance public safety, promote equitable park access, and improve the overall health and well-being of residents. This analysis and recommendations offered a unique opportunity to enhance safety and accessibility on both a citywide and targeted scale around parks. The methodology emulated the safe routes to schools framework with inclusive community engagement and mobility enhancements for all ages and abilities.

The project was guided by a Technical Advisory Committee which suggested popup outreach at City events was the best solution to garner community input. KTUA kept the project on an expedited schedule by moving forward with other critical tasks that didn’t require community input. Once these tasks were completed and in place, community input was incorporated, and the project was delivered on time.

KTUA played a key role in supporting Lochner (Formerly known as KOA at the time of this project) in developing the San Bernardino Safe Routes to School Plan Phase II. KTUA provided assistance with project branding, announcements, flyers, social media content, and organizing/participating in stakeholder meetings and pop-up events. The Safe Routes to School plan covered most cities in San Bernardino County, but KTUA specifically led walk audits in Ontario, Montclair, San Bernardino, Yucca Valley, and Joshua Tree. KTUA also provided walking, bicycling, traffic calming, and other related active transportation recommendations for each of the schools we were responsible for. Joe Punsalan and Jacob Leon were the project leads from KTUA.

CITY OF UPLAND MOBILITY MASTER PLAN
KTUA conducted a policy review and data analysis to understand existing conditions; spearheaded a comprehensive, year-long community engagement process to understand community needs; and developed project recommendations to improve safe and efficient active transportation and public transit options for Upland.

The relative quality and quantity of mobility infrastructure of the City is well-served by an aging but nominally sufficient pedestrian network, whereas safety and comfort in accessing regional non-vehicular mobility options such as light rail, bus, and multipurpose paths is deficient. This is especially true for the disadvantaged communities within the wealthier 80,000-person City of Upland, though public outreach efforts were challenged to reach this population. In-person and online outreach methods were employed through multiple channels, with metrics for tracking success in reaching these areas slowly and surely improving. Walk audits in these neighborhoods were key outreach endeavors for understanding issues and distributing more information about surveys and additional opportunities for input.

Arcadis was engaged by OCTA to develop the first
countywide active transportation plan covering all 34 cities and the County. The plan identifies regional bikeways,
pedestrian priority areas, and includes a bicycle/pedestrian best practices toolkit with strategies, case studies, and tools based on the Five E’s: education, encouragement,
enforcement, engineering, and evaluation. Emphasizing
equity, the plan addresses the needs of disadvantaged and underserved communities across Orange County.

The team used a mix of traditional and innovative outreach methods to ensure an engaging and inclusive process. To identify priority areas, KTUA applied a GIS-based bicycle and pedestrian propensity model to pinpoint improvement locations. The project also featured creative outreach, including a school-focused chalk art contest, community– police engagement opportunities, and joint walk-to-school day events with the Orange County Public Health Agency.

Metro D (Purple) Line First/Last Mile Plan and First/Last Mile Planning Guidelines| Los Angeles Metro | Los Angeles, CA Arcadis planned and designed First/Last Mile (FLM)

OCTA Safe Travels Education Program (STEP)
The Orange County Safe Routes to School Program
(2020–2023), managed by OCTA and OCHCA, Latino
Health Access, and Walk & Rollers, provided 25 elementary schools with free educational activities and resources to encourage safe walking and biking to school. Latino Health Access conducted outreach to 20 schools, implementing
3–4 activities at 8 of them, including bike rodeos, school assemblies, Walk to School Days, and parent presentations.

The program also distributed safety materials such as
helmets and reflective armbands, along with banners and suggested safe routes maps for each school. Approximately 600 students were reached per school, totaling about 4,800 students across the 8 participating schools.

OCTA Next Travels Education Program 2024-2027
This project is a continuation of the STEP program, providing another 25 elementary schools with free educational
activities and resources to encourage families to walk and bike to school safely and more often. Running from 2020 to 2023, the program is managed by OCTA and OCHCA and
supported by Latino Health Access, and Walk & Rollers, with Latino Health Access leading school engagement and the
educational component. The effort aims to reach at least 150 elementary schools countywide and deliver 3–4 educational activities at 25 of those schools.

Avenue into a safe, accessible greenway for bicyclists
and pedestrians. The corridor serves schools, residential neighborhoods, and commercial uses, requiring a contextsensitive approach to safety and mobility.

Project work included a physical inventory of corridor
conditions, public life surveys, and the development of a traffic calming toolkit tailored to local conditions. The team prepared preliminary design guidelines and concept-level recommendations to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety while supporting neighborhood livability.

City of Santa Ana Street Light Inventory & Street Lighting Master Plan | City of Santa Ana | Santa Ana, CA
Evari provided GIS data collection, analysis, and web
application development services for the City of Santa Ana’s Street Lighting Master Plan. Evari completed a citywide inventory of approximately 16,000 streetlight fixtures, using a combination of deep learning AI screening and mobile
field data collection to verify, update, and supplement the City’s existing GIS data. Web GIS-based project tracking dashboards were developed for the City and project
stakeholders, including automated reporting to flag
immediate maintenance needs.

Building on the inventory, Evari developed interactive
web GIS applications that integrated streetlight data
with collision history, pedestrian crosswalk locations, bicycle facility information, school walksheds, and other contextual datasets to support prioritization and community engagement. This work gave the Evari team direct
familiarity with the City of Santa Ana’s GIS environment, data standards, and stakeholder coordination processes, providing a strong foundation for the data collection, GIS mapping, and web application development proposed under the Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan.

Safe and Equitable Access to Parks and Everyday
Destinations (SEAPED) | Circulate San Diego | San Diego, CA
Evari provided pedestrian-scale lighting analysis for the Safe and Equitable Access to Parks and Everyday Destinations (SEAPED) project, evaluating exterior lighting conditions along streets and sidewalks within a quarter-mile travel shed of six San Diego parks. Using photometric modeling, Evari assessed lighting performance across pedestrian access
routes to identify underlit segments that pose safety risks to pedestrians and bicyclists traveling to and from park facilities. The analysis produced GIS-based visualizations and summary statistics documenting lighting levels along each route, providing project stakeholders defensible, datadriven evidence to support targeted lighting improvement recommendations and quick-build concepts designed to
improve park access at several under-resourced locations throughout the City.

City of El Monte Sidewalk Inventory & Web GIS Data
Management | City of El Monte | El Monte, CA
Together with KTUA, Evari conducted a comprehensive 250- mile sidewalk inventory for the City of El Monte in support of the City’s Vision Zero Action Plan. Working without any prior sidewalk data, Evari designed and deployed a mobile GIS field collection platform to systematically document sidewalk conditions, curb ramp types, and infrastructure deficiencies across the entire city. Field crews used tablets to capture georeferenced point-location data linked to standardized attribute schemas, while WebGIS dashboards provided the project team and City staff with real-time visibility into audit progress and findings as fieldwork unfolded.

Evari’s GIS team analyzed the collected data alongside
collision records to identify high-concentration corridors, bicycle and pedestrian incident hotspots, primary collision factors, and recommended countermeasures—with
comparisons to statewide and peer city statistics.

CITY OF SANTA ANA | SAFE ROUTES TO PARKS & WHEELCHAIR ASSESSMENT PLAN / 27 d. Proposed Work Plan / KTUA
To expand our observations and exceed the needs of this project, our team has developed and will employ many
recognized industry best-practices tools and community
engagement strategies, and apply with context specific to Santa Ana. Our team understands the types of services
required in the RFP and have completed many projects
with similar scopes of services, successfully throughout the state. KTUA has also supported funding efforts by refining the scope and analysis to assist our client’s efforts for grant applications, providing added value tasks, infographics, narratives, and summaries to essentially, “plug and play” elements of the plan into an application.

Our team will bring the following ethos to this project.

Values and Vision, A Road Map to the Future – An agency’s values reflect their leadership and staff values, and those of the community they represent. This Safe Routes to Parks and Wheelchair Assessment Plan will help the City update these values and vision so that it can best determine the direction and priorities needed to make meaningful change.

A Strong and Comprehensive Community Engagement
Process – Community engagement is needed to genuinely
understand the community’s issues, determine the value of public services, and provide a vision for the future that the community supports. We have found that effective outreach means going to the public instead of expecting the public to come to us. The KTUA team’s effective and flexible
community engagement is the basis for measuring the
quantitative and qualitative components of this plan.

Community Driven Design Options – The efforts need to
focus on listening to public and staff input (as well as from elected officials) about issues, concerns, solutions, and priorities to direct the conceptual designs. The City has a great infrastructure base to build upon for safe, connected, and implementable recommendations.

KTUA recognizes that today’s political climate can directly affect community participation, particularly when concerns related to enforcement create hesitation around attending public workshops and events. This has been a consistent challenge across recent projects, where fear and uncertainty can limit engagement from key community members. To
address this, KTUA has partnered with trusted, communitybased organizations such as Latino Health Access, which brings culturally competent outreach strategies and
established relationships within the community. Through these partnerships, KTUA will foster safe, welcoming
environments for engagement, ensuring that workshops,
walk and talks, and conversations are inclusive, accessible, and reflective of the community’s full voice.

At the same time, KTUA understands and supports the
City Council’s strong commitment to improving roadway
safety, particularly in addressing speeding, racing, and the need for enhanced traffic control measures, and
pedestrian safety such as implementing stop bars at
intersections. We understand there may be concerns with this project and the ongoing Vision Zero project that KTUA is concurrently working on. By aligning with Vision Zero principles, KTUA will deliver actionable recommendations that extend beyond parks to create safer, connected
streets for all users and destinations. Recognizing the City’s workload and concurrent planning efforts, KTUA’s extended team is structured to function as seamless staff extension, coordinating closely with ongoing initiatives while maintaining project momentum. With clearly defined roles and a proactive approach, KTUA will guide the project efficiently, incorporating City input at critical milestones while advancing toward a practical, implementable plan that reflects both community needs and policy priorities within the expedited timeline.

KTUA’s approach goes beyond the scope by delivering
added value tasks that strengthen both the planning
process and long-term implementation. Drawing from its
experience as both active transportation and park planners, KTUA applies a Safe Routes to School informed framework that expands the conversation beyond park boundaries
to include the full journey to and from these spaces.

This perspective allows the team to capture real-world
challenges related to access, safety, and connectivity, while guiding community input toward actionable improvements
along surrounding corridors. Through interactive strategies such as walk and bike audits and “Walk and Talks,” KTUA will engage residents directly in the field, creating a deeper understanding of on-the-ground conditions and fostering meaningful dialogue that informs practical solutions.

In addition to engagement, KTUA provides enhanced
technical deliverables designed to support the City’s
future decision-making. The team will develop park
typologies, aligned with the City’s Parks Master Plan, to establish tailored access and safety strategies for different park types, supported by conceptual corridor plans for
high-priority examples. KTUA will also prepare targeted recommendations for all parks, ensuring a comprehensive and systemwide approach.

To meet the project timeline, the team has been intentionally structured to provide the capacity and flexibility needed to deliver within the 18-month schedule. With overlapping outreach efforts and clearly defined subconsultant roles, KTUA ensures consistent progress while maintaining highquality engagement and analysis. The result is a forwardlooking, implementable plan that equips the City with clear guidance for improving safe access to parks well into the future.

On April 4, 2022, the federal government stopped using the DUNS Number to uniquely identify entities.

Now, entities doing business with the federal government use the Unique Entity ID created in SAM.gov.

They no longer have to go to a third-party website to obtain their identifier. This transition allows the government to streamline the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less burdensome for entities to do business with the federal government.

This RFP includes federal funding, and as such, the proposer must provide verification of their SAM.gov UEI and active registration status. Please attach your entity’s registration from SAM.gov, including UEI and active registration status. Respondents must have active registration on Sam.Gov at time of proposal submittal in order to be considered for award.

AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Gensler, Inc. for Architectural Design Services for the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) Bike Center Project (Project No. 25-6912) (Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes

DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) Bike Center Project (Project) was developed to improve first- and last-mile connectivity by providing secure bicycle facilities for residents and commuters accessing regional transit services at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. In January 2018, the City received a $1.25 million State Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program (BCIP) grant that is administered by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for the design and construction of the SARTC Bike Center Project. The Project was originally included in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Capital Improvement Program and proposed a secure indoor bicycle storage facility and supporting amenities plus the installation of 2,500 bicycle racks throughout City Council 17 – 1 9/15/2026
Award Agreement with Gensler, Inc. to provide architectural design services for the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center Bike Center Project
September 15, 2026

the City. The project is intended to expand bicycle infrastructure and improve connections between bicycle travel and other transportation options.

On August 21, 2018, the City retained Gensler, Inc. to provide architectural design services for the Bike Center Project under an agreement not to exceed $149,000. After completing the design, the project was advertised for construction bids on May 25, 2021. The lowest responsive bid exceeded available funds by approximately $400,000.

To reduce construction costs, Staff revised the project scope by reducing the number of proposed bicycle racks from 2,500 to 1,500 and eliminating the restrooms and storage room from the SARTC Bike Center. The revised project was re-advertised for construction bids on July 11, 2022; however, the lowest responsive bid again exceeded available funds by approximately $500,000. Following the second unsuccessful bid solicitation, the City deferred the Project to evaluate funding and project delivery options.

In February 2023, City staff began working with OCTA staff to review the project scope and pursue alternative funding opportunities for the Project. As a result, a project scope change was approved in January 2024 which separated the bike rack improvements from the SARTC Bike Center improvements which allowed the City to pursue additional funding for the improvements at SARTC.

On May 15, 2026, the City was awarded a $2,625,000 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) grant to construct the revised SARTC Bike Center Project. These grant funds are part of a regional grant received and administered by OCTA. The grant funds both updates to the project's design construction documents as well as the construction phase.

Subsequently, in July 2026 the citywide bike rack component of the project was formally canceled from the BCIP Program due to high cost and unavailability of grant funds.

The revised Bike Center Project scope includes construction of a secure indoor bicycle storage facility with lockers and a community bicycle workspace. The facility will provide secure bicycle storage and supporting amenities for SARTC users, improving first- and last -mile bicycle access and connectivity to regional transit services fully funded by the TIRCP grant.

The original SARTC Bike Center plans prepared by Gensler need to be updated to reflect the new scope of work as well as to comply with the current 2025 California Building Standards Code, as the original design documents were prepared under a previous edition of the code. Public Works staff coordinated with Planning and Building Agency staff and determined that an in-house design approach was not feasible because the City does not have staff with the specialized design experience necessary to perform the required design updates. Additionally, modifying construction documents City Council 17 – 2 9/15/2026
Award Agreement with Gensler, Inc. to provide architectural design services for the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center Bike Center Project
September 15, 2026

prepared by another design firm would require the City to assume responsibility for those revisions.

Because Gensler prepared the original construction documents, the firm possesses direct knowledge of the Project’s design and is best positioned to efficiently complete the required revisions. Assigning the work to another firm would require substantial review of the existing documents and assumption of design responsibility, resulting in duplicative effort, additional costs, and potential project delays. City staff consulted with the grant agencies and confirmed that retaining the original design firm is acceptable under the applicable grant requirements. The procurement was also conducted in accordance with the City’s applicable procurement requirements.

Approval of the proposed agreement with Gensler, Inc. will allow the consultant to revise the construction drawings and specifications to comply with the 2025 California Building Standards Code and advance the SARTC Bike Center project toward construction. TIRCP grant funds will be used to fund this design work, with the remaining funds available for project construction. Upon completion of the document updates and required permitting, staff anticipates advertising the Bike Center Project for construction bids and returning to the City Council for award of a construction contract utilizing the balance of the TIRCP grant funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

FISCAL IMPACT
With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustments, all funds will be available for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryovers into Fiscal Year 2027-2028. Subsequent fiscal year funding will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration.

With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, $2,625,000 in TIRCP grant funds will be recognized in the Select Street Construction, State Grant-Direct revenue account (No. 05917002-52025) and appropriated for spending into the Select Street Construction, Improvements Other Than Building Account (No. 05917660- 66220).

Approval of the requests to reallocate funds will provide a total of $31,000 in unspent funds from Project 23-6905.
