OVSanta Ana Boulevard Grade Separation Project In June 2024, the City of Santa Ana was awarded $25 million in federal funding for the Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation Project, which will facilitate the reconstruction of the current rail crossing at Santa Ana Boulevard, adjacent to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. The project will create a new multimodal grade -separated underpass, including reduction of the roadway from six to four lanes, on -street protected bikeways and sidewalks, and a pedestrian overcrossing parallel to the rail line. The project will improve traffic operations, boost emergency response times, and alleviate traffic congestion along Santa Ana Boulevard. SANTA ANA GRADE SEPARATION PROJECT Project Lead: City of Santa Ana ■ SCOPE The Santa Ana Grade Separation Project ( Project) proposes to construct a new six -lane underpass to replace the existing at -grade crossing at the Southern California Regional Rail Authority double tracks on Santa Ana Boulevard adjacent to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC). The Project limits extend from the 1-5 southbound ramps in the east to Santiago Street. The Project constructs a pedestrian bridge adjacent to the railroad under- pass to provide connectivity across Santa Ana Boulevard to SARTC. Improvements on Santa Ana Boulevard will include a raised median, side- walks, and spare for a transportation opportunity zone and a pedestrian plaza, The Project will also require the construction of a stormwater pump station, and utility relocations. ■ COST PS&E $6,700,000 Right of Way $22,614,000 Construction $49,376, 000 Total $80,720,000 rROKcruuns I ■ SCHEDULE CEGA/NEPA Clearance 7/2024 PS&E 6/2025 Right of Way 9/2025 Construction Award 1/2025 Construction Completion 1/2029 »Above: Informational flyer for the Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation Project. 25 City Council 7 — 33 5/6/2025
