<br />PROPOSAL STANDARD AVENUE PROTECTED BIKE LANES <br />3RD TO WARNER <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Pedestrian Crossings <br />The project plans to signalize the Standard Avenue/Bishop Street intersection better serving pedestrian traffic <br />including youth to Walker Elementary School. Additional pedestrian improvements include a Pedestrian <br />Hybrid Beacon at Wakeham Avenue or Wisteria Place, and discussion with City staff to determine if striping <br />additional crosswalks is desired. The Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan (2016) prepared a comparison of <br />segment demand and infrastructure supply analysis that identified high demand with high supply need on <br />Standard Avenue between McFadden Avenue and Edinger Avenue. Mark Thomas team visits to the area <br />show a high degree of pedestrian crossing area here as well as north of McFadden Avenue. We will work <br />with the City to identify potential additional pedestrian crossing improvements and costs. <br />Bike Signals <br />The project includes a mix of bikeway types about Edinger Avenue with buffered bike lanes southerly <br />and a separated bikeway northerly. Typically a separated bikeway would include dedicated bicycle signal <br />phasing and employ no turn on red signage, but this treatment would not be included in a buffered bike lane <br />configuration where the right-turn traffic would cross the bikeway at the green conflict zone striping. We <br />recognize the City seeks to provide a high quality bikeway corridor to serve the existing and future bikeway <br />traffic and will work with the City to evaluate available project budget to include bike phasing and provide a <br />consistent and intuitive signal phasing treatment along the corridor. For our protected bikeway along Hoover <br />Street in Westerminster, we modified the existing signals to include bicycle phases and no turn on red blank- <br />out signs for turning vehicles. <br />Land Use Access <br />The project will provide a 2-mile north-south corridor as identified in the CSACS Plan. However, the design <br />should incorporate access to land uses along the roadway and be sensitive to needs of localized uses such <br />as school drop-off activity at Madison Elementary or peak demands at Madison Park. Please see the graphic <br />below for initial design considerations near Walker Elementary School. Additional land use concerns may <br />arise at Walker Elementary and the future park at the northeast corner of the Standard Avenue/McFadden <br />Avenue intersection. <br />11
