Santa Ana Safe Mobility Plan I Revised Scope of Work City of Santa Ana, CA Deliverable: Data request memo TASK 3- COMMUNITY SURVEY Community input will be key to developing project prioritization criteria. Building on the criteria developed in the Complete Streets Plan and discussed at the first TAC meeting, a web -based survey w ll be launched to confirm the level of importance of suggested and new criteria. We will provide draft questions for review by City staff and administer -via Survey Monkey, with City staff leading survey distribution using invitations to participate through City Police, Complete Streets, and other existing city and Facebook channels. Our team's bilingual staff will translate the study into Spanish. City staff will work with local radio and city television to publicize the survey and make print copies available through the library and City Hall. We will work with the city to identify partners to publicize the survey, such as the Santa Ana Active Streets Coalition and its member organizations as well as the Orange County Bicycle Coalition. The survey questions will: • Confirm the community's general needs and concerns surrounding automobile, bicycling, walling, and transit safety • Solicit resident input on how to improve mobility and access to important destinations throughout the city, with an opportunity to define the relative importance of engineering, education, enforcement, and encouragement measures • Gauge support for multimodal transportation priorities and for how the City might invest limited funds using a series of tradeoff -type questions that w ll inform the relative importance of prioritization criteria We will analyze and summarize the results in a brief summary memorandum, which will conclude key findings to inform the project prioritization criteria for Task 9. Deliverables: Community survey Technical memorandum: Summary of community survey results Assumptions and/ or exclusions to the scope of work • It will be important to develop the survey instrument early in the planning process to give the community sufficient time to respond and inform Task 9 prioritization criteria. We will conduct a detailed review of citywide collision data for the last five years for which data are available. We will provide a citywide analysis examining collision patterns by location and collision type overall, and with a focus on bicycle- or pedestrian - involved collisions, a risk analysis to identify factors that contribute to risk for vulnerable roadway users that may allow for addressing high risk locations before crashes occur, and a hotspot analysis to identify high crash locations and corridors. 4.1 Citywide Analysis The citywide collision analysis will investigate trends including who is involved in collisions (e.g., age of involved parties), when collisions are happening (e.g., time of day or year), where crashes are occurring (e.g., intersections vs. midblock or proximity to transit stops), as well as contributing factors (e.g., movement preceding collision by traffic control type). Based on available data, the review will include, but not be limited to, time of day, day of the week, night time, age of parties, year by year trends, primary collision factors, type of collisions, severity of NelsonlNygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. 14
