COMMUNITYOUTREACH <br /> Background <br /> First Street is currently a six-lane street with a raised median between intersections and left-turn <br /> pockets at intersections. It serves OCTA's OC Bus Route 64, one of the highest-ridership routes <br /> in Orange County, with nearly 50 stops in Santa Ana alone. <br /> In 2022, the City of Santa Ana identified First Street as a corridor for multimodal improvements <br /> and updated the Mobility Element of the City's General Plan, which proposed downgrading First <br /> Street's classification from a Major Arterial (six lanes) to a Primary Arterial (four lanes). I n 2024, <br /> the City's Vision Zero Plan identified it as one of the top five corridors requiring safety <br /> enhancements, particularly for vulnerable road users, including pedestrians and bicyclists. <br /> The Study explored the breadth of potential roadway configurations for purposes of identifying <br /> viable options to transform and improve the corridor into a truly multimodal corridor for all modes <br /> of travel, regardless of age or ability. The Study also evaluated concepts that enhanced access <br /> to businesses, residential neighborhoods, educational facilities, and other key destinations <br /> (Figure 3). <br /> Al <br /> NAM MR <br /> a• <br /> Figure 3: Image of Flower Street signal from the Study walk audit on July 16,2025. <br /> First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study— 8 <br />
