42 <br />Chart 3-2: Bicycle Collisions from 2017 to 2021 <br />3.2 Equity and Collision Analysis <br />This Plan began with the identification of underserved communities <br />throughout the City of Santa Ana, which makes up most of the City, as <br />can be seen from the CalEnviroScreen data in Section 2.4. A majority <br />of the City, particularly central, southeast, and Downtown Santa Ana <br />score above the 75th percentile for high pollution and low income. The <br />following safety analysis comprehensively looks at the entire City, but <br />with an equity-lens in mind to focus improvements in the underserved <br />communities. The following section provides an overview of all colli- <br />sions in Santa Ana between 2017 to 2021 as documented in the Santa <br />Ana Crossroads database. As summarized in Table 3-3, there were a <br />total of 906 pedestrian collisions over five years, 673 bicycle collisions, <br />and 17,915 motor vehicle collisions. As shown in the serious injury and <br />fatality columns in the table, a significantly disproportionate quantity of <br />pedestrians suffered serious injuries and fatalities when compared to <br />total bicycle and vehicle collisions. Sixteen percent of all pedestrian <br />collisions resulted in a serious injury or fatality compared to 5% of all <br />bicycle collisions and 2% of all non-highway vehicle collisions. <br />Transportation <br />Mode Fatalities Serious <br />Injuries Total <br />Pedestrian 33 119 906 <br />Bicycle 7 30 673 <br />Vehicle 67 347 17,915 <br />Table 3-3: Collision Severity per Travel Mode (between years 2017-2021) <br />Source: Crossroads Software’s Traffic Collision Database <br />Collisions for each of the past five years are shown for pedestrians, <br />bicyclists, and vehicles in Charts 3-1 through 3-3. This includes serious <br />injuries, fatalities, other visible injuries, complaints of pain, and property <br />damage only. <br />Figure 3-4 shows all of the collisions as points, then Figure 3-5 uses <br />the collision points to make a ‘heatmap’ that highlights locations with <br />highest concentrations of collisions with darker shades of red. <br />Five-Year Heatmap <br />Figure 3-5 demonstrates a greater concentration of collisions (dark- <br />er red color) along most of 1st Street (west to east), and Main Street <br />(north to south). The full length of McFadden Avenue, Edinger Avenue, <br />Warner Avenue and 17th Street (all west to east) also see higher levels <br />0 <br />50 <br />100 <br />150 <br />200 <br />2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 <br />0 <br />1000 <br />2000 <br />3000 <br />4000 <br />5000 <br />2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 <br />0 <br />50 <br />100 <br />150 <br />200 <br />250 <br />2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 <br />Chart 3-1: Pedestrian Collisions from 2017 to2021 <br />Chart 3-3: Vehicle Collisions from 2017 to 2021 <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 32 – 47 6/4/2024
