- 1 7 Haltoi Mixed Use Transit Corridor plan 14 4=1* u x Mt Figure 46. Fixed Guideway Project Route Options Fixed Guidexay Project The cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove in cooperation with OCTA are proposing to build a fixed guideway /streetcar transportation system between SARTC and a new transportation center in Garden Grove. The system would provide transit services for commuters travelling from the train station to employment and activity centers in the heart of Orange County and for residents and visitors travelling to destinations throughout the area. The proposed streetcar would pass directly through the northern end of the Harbor Corridor Plan along Santa Ana Boulevard and the Padfic Electric right -of- way (PEROW). Figure 4 -6 depicts the latest route options under consideration. Either alignment would service Santa Ana's historic downtown, which includes government offices; federal, state and local courthouses; unique businesses; an artists' village; several colleges; and a variety of organizations that cater to the community's needs. The proximity of the fixed guideway alignment and the Bravo! BRT stations makes property within the Harbor Corridor Plan conveniently accessible from the fixed guideway, bus lines, and local freeways. Such varied access bolsters the identity and value of property, along the corridor. In the future, the transit options could enable nodes along the corridor to develop as a cultural district, museum district, or other community gathering space that could serve as a destination for residents and visitors from around the region. 44 11 A -45 City of Santa Ana MetrolinW It'll TramR Amtrak to bn Los Angeles R Srmtr A, sou hia.n ern ___ k Air.
