Bowers Museum of Cultural Arts The Agency has worked with the Bowers Museum over the past years in providing rehabilitation of existing and expansion of facilities to allow for cultural growth in the community. The Agency continues to partner with Bowers to achieve these endeavors. Improvements of Public Parking Garages During the next five years, the Agency will assist with enhancing our public parking garages consisting of five in the downtown area and one adjacent to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. These garages provide much needed support to the continued success of the Downtown and the SARTC. Infrastructure Improvements Program Infrastructure improvements include projects that will assist with the future development of the Merged Project Area. By facilitating new development the Agency will eliminate deterioration and obsolescence. Traffic improvements and street lighting will also enhance public safety and reduce crime. Infrastructure improvements may include, but are not limited to, the following: • Transportation and circulation improvements which may entail street widening, construction of street medians, land configuration, street maintenance, improved traffic signalization and signage; • Sewer improvements to alleviate infrastructure inadequacies, meet flow requirements and ensure public safety; • Storm drain improvements including capacity for existing and new development to ensure proper drainage and on-going street improvements of Merged Project Area streets; and • Public infrastructure improvements including sidewalks, curbs and gutters, streetscape/landscape improvements, public transit improvements, public parking structures, creating pedestrian links and developing enhanced parkways and sidewalks, and providing access to the disabled. Downtown Wayfinding Signage Program' This program funds the development of signs to direct cars and pedestrians to shopping, cultural and service destinations within the Merged Project Area. This program will evaluate existing vehicular and pedestrian way finding signs in downtown Santa Ana and provide input for a potential redesign and enhancement of current way finding sign program. Parking Lot Improvements' The Agency plans on making major upgrades to the City-owned parking lots including repaving, adding energy efficient lighting, replacing landscaping, repainting, and upgraded security measures.
