<br />City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor <br />Technical Memorandum <br /> <br />49 <br /> <br />Bus Lanes and Bikeway Concept <br />This concept includes directional Class IV bikeways on each side of Firs t Street (north and <br />south side) as well as a dedicated sidewalk. With 12’ feet within the pedestrian zone, a 6’ <br />bikeway and a 6’ sidewalk can be delineated. Bicycles would travel closest to the roadway <br />and would need to weave around bus stops, trees or other landscape areas and utilities <br />such as streetlight poles . Where these obstructions occur in the bikeway, the bicycles would <br />merge with the pedestrians in a shared 10’ to 13’ space. This may create a sort of <br />meandering bikeway visually but will require careful navigation through these shared areas . <br />Distinct color or textures on the pavement should be used to help delineate areas for <br />pedestrians and bicycles. Figure 28 illustrates the features of the Bus Lane and Bikeway <br />Concept. <br />This concept provides four travel lanes , two bus only lanes and left turn pockets at <br />intersections . As discussed in the existing conditions section of this report, Route 64 is one <br />of the highest traveled routes in Orange County and experiences over 2,900 boardings and <br />alighting eac h day within the study area. <br />Figure 28.
