SAFETY, MOBILITY AND A <br />As Executive Director of Public Works for the fourth densest city in the nation, Fred Mousavipour has safety <br />and sustainability on his mind. A 22 -year veteran of public works and engineering projects in Los Angeles and <br />neighboring cities, Mousavipour has set his sights on reducing the number of fatalities and injuries involving <br />bikes and pedestrians in Santa Ana. <br />"We want to be one of the best,' he says. "Our goal is zero fatalities, and we can achieve that by improving safety <br />and providing multiple means of mobility." <br />Mousavipour is a graduate of USC with a background in civil engineering. He wonted for the City of Los Angeles <br />on big projects like the Hyperion treatment plant and was the Chief Design Engineer for all four wastewater <br />plants. After his tenure in the private sector as a managing director of commercial real estate, Mousavipour <br />joined the city of Redlands where he became Director of Municipal Utilities. <br />Mousavipour envisions better use of vehicles, bicycles and public transportation for Santa Ana. He wants to <br />improve the city's walkability, reduce traffic speed, create more bike lanes and widen sidewalks. <br />"New York and San Francisco have many of the same transportation and safety issues and I believe Santa Ana can <br />overcome them in much the same way as those cities" <br />Mousavipour's other major priority is to build a sustainable infrastructure with greater use of technology. That <br />includes energy conservation and LEER certified construction and design. <br />"Everything we do in Public Works has a direct effect on quality of life and that makes it exciting. It gives us a <br />chance to make a big contribution. Thais why I studied engineering. Its my dream, and I'm excited that the City of <br />Santa Ana and its people give us the latitude to provide those services." <br />SANTA ANA WATER QUALITY REPORT <br />EXHIBIT 5 <br />75C -63 <br />
