remainder of the trail, and the proposed alternate route through streets and intersections is a poor substitute. The creek is a natural place for a public use trail, as evidenced by the trails along the remainder of Santiago Creek as well as the Santa Ana River. Planning for trails along the creek in this area supports the core values of health, equity, sustainability, culture, and education, which should be reflected in all of the general plan elements. We respectively request that the City of Santa Ana include in the General Plan Update: 1. A blue line designating the Santiago Creek on all maps; 2. Class 1 Bike Path and Riding and Hiking Trail along the creek from the terminus near the S freeway to the Santa Ana River Trail; 3. The goal of restoring the Santiago Creek. Our association has had great success collaborating with the City of Orange to restore portions of the creek and create 8.5 miles of bikeway along the creek. It would be our hope that this important work continue into the City of Santa Ana. Your residents deserve a beautiful green trail along the creek connecting upstream parks with the Santa Ana River Trail and the parks and beaches it reaches. We hope to collaborate with, and be a resource to, the City of Santa Ana. We offer our support in obtaining grant funding for the Santiago Creek corridor. Please notify us of upcoming meetings regarding the Santiago Creek. If you have any questions, please contact the SCGA president, Pamela, directly at (714) 981-6847 or at pamelagalera85@gmail.com. Thank you for your consideration. rely, Pamela M. Galera, President John Moore, Secretary Ad son Adams, Vice President Shirley L.
