In addition, the project's alignment with SCAG's REAP 2.0 goals—accelerating infill housing, reducing vehicle miles traveled, and supporting climate commitments—positions Santa Ana as a regional leader in equitable, sustainable transportation and land use planning. By pairing community-driven design with evidence-based multimodal and safety strategies, the City can deliver a corridor that reflects local priorities while meeting state and regional climate and housing objectives. For these reasons, I strongly support the First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study and urge the City to advance a bold, people-first design alternative that: • Centers safety and Vision Zero • through traffic calming, safer intersections, and protected facilities for people walking, biking, and rolling. • Strengthens transit • by improving bus stops, transit priority, and first-/last-mile connections. • Supports local businesses and economic vitality • by creating a comfortable, attractive environment where people want to walk, linger, and shop. • Advances climate resilience • with reduced vehicle dependence, enhanced active transportation, and green infrastructure where feasible. Thank you for your leadership and for engaging the community in shaping the future of First Street. I respectfully ask that you continue to champion this project and secure the funding needed to bring a safe, walkable, multimodal First Street to reality.
