cross/directional slopes, lane configurations, street classification, lane widths,traffic citations,
<br /> street lighting, trees, transit stops, transit boarding/alighting, street crossings, and adjacent land
<br /> uses.
<br /> 5. Community Survey: The Plan will require extensive community engagement to develop traffic
<br /> safety improvements that are both community driven and supported by the findings of the on-
<br /> going Santa Ana Vision Zero Plan. The City will leverage its well-established relationship with
<br /> 64 citywide neighborhood associations and working relationships with schools. A community
<br /> survey to assess safety concerns shall be conducted to assist in determining the prioritization
<br /> criteria in later tasks.
<br /> 6. Analysis: The analysis will consist of a thorough review and study of the data collected
<br /> particularly the citywide collisions within the past five-years (20,000+). Special focus will be
<br /> placed on all pedestrian and bicycle involved collisions. The analysis will review collisions to
<br /> identify correctable collision patterns. The review will include, but not be limited to; time of day,
<br /> day of the week, age of parties,year by year trends,primary collision factors,type of collisions,
<br /> severity of injury, and fatalities. Review of actual collision reports for the past five-years will be
<br /> required.
<br /> 7. Location Prioritization and Field Review: Conduct a safety evaluation and field reviews for street
<br /> segments and intersections that present the highest risk to vulnerable roadways users(bicyclists
<br /> and pedestrians). A prioritization of risk factors shall be established as part of this Task and may
<br /> include collision patterns, severity of injuries, and proximity to school,parks, or other
<br /> pedestrian/bicycle generating uses. The field reviews shall be conducted while adjacent schools
<br /> are in session.
<br /> 8. Recommended Countermeasures: Based on the data collection, field review and collision
<br /> analysis; street improvements/counter-measures shall be proposed to mitigate potential future
<br /> collisions, including multiple alternatives where appropriate. The alternative street improvement
<br /> options may vary in cost or ease of implementation. Countermeasures shall include engineering,
<br /> enforcement, and education activities. All options will be considered. This project will encourage
<br /> use of innovative and creative street improvement options.
<br /> 9. Consistency Review: All proposed countermeasures shall be reviewed for consistency with local,
<br /> regional, and state policies,regulations, and guidelines. Potential countermeasures shall not be
<br /> ruled out due to inconsistency, however inconsistencies shall be identified and recommendations
<br /> to allow implementation offered. These recommendations may include,but not be limited to;
<br /> engineering surveys for speed limit reductions, reclassification of streets, or obtaining approval
<br /> for pilot/study projects.
<br /> 10. Cost Estimates: Cost estimates will be prepared for each street improvement option for each street
<br /> segment and/or intersection.
<br /> 11. Improvement Prioritization: A prioritization system to rank proposed countermeasures along
<br /> street segments or intersections with the highest opportunity for collision reductions shall be
<br /> developed. The prioritization system will establish criteria from the data collection, community
<br /> survey, field review, and collision analysis. Criteria may include,but not be limited to; volumes
<br /> of motor vehicles, volumes of pedestrians and bicyclists, speed of motor vehicles,number of
<br /> collisions, collision patterns, severity of injuries, ease of implementation, cost, and proximity to
<br /> specific land-uses.
<br /> 12. Coordination of Multiple Projects: In addition to this project, the consultant must be in
<br /> coordination with the Sustainable Communities Program—Active Transportation& Safety SCAG
<br /> project and required coordination of the abovementioned project by the consultant awarded the
<br /> contract to perform the work of each respective project shall be required to ensure the efficient
<br /> and effective implementation of the proposed projects in a safe and timely manner. Consultants
