Santa Ana Safe Mobility Plan I Revised Scope of Work City of Santa Ana, CA • Wrong way and sidewalk riding, focused on high collision corridors where adequate facilities are present Potential Pedestrian Enforcement Actions • Yield compliance to pedestrians in crosswalk at high collision intersections (especially for turning movements) • Speed enforcement on high collision corridors during night and off peak hours Diversion Program Feasibility Nelson \Nygaard will collect information from five model traffic diversion programs to describe the impact of traffic diversion programs on peer agencies. This review will also describe the administrative and legal challenges to implementing a program in Santa Ana and the anticipated outcomes, should the Santa Ana Police Department and Santa Ana Unified School District Police Department offer a diversion program for youth and /or adults. Enforcement Recommendations Based on the work in Task 2, above (New Task 4.5), we will develop specific enforcement recommendations related to t) process /system improvements; 2) directed patrols; and 3) diversion programs. The recommendations will assume three levels of investment for each improvement category, and estimate the needed additional staffing resources, budget and relative collision reduction outcomes. We will review the recommendations, and confirm estimated costs with a focus group of enforcement personnel and revise in accordance with their concerns. Deliverables: Draft and final Santa Ana Collision Analysis Report which will include a citywide analysis, systemic risk analysis, hotspot analysis, and preliminary menu of countermeasures. Summary of opportunities and constraints to changing current practices related to enforcement, data collection and data storage. Enforcement recommendations related to 1 ) process /system improvements; 2) directed patrols; and 3) diversion programs Assumptions andl or exclusions to the scope of Work • We suggest the collision analysis include a risk -based approach to identify patterns and possible over - representation of crash types based on attributes of the roadway network, in order to develop a proactive response to conditions associated with collisions. • Our experience with walking and biking collision analysis suggests that a to -year timeframe may be desirable; as sample size can be an issue: The purpose of this task is to evaluate locations that represent the greatest risk for pedestrian and bicycle involved collisions. This task will allow the consultant team to more deeply understand on the ground conditions, confirm issues identified in the collision analysis, and identify contributing factors that may not be present in the data. We propose an analytical framework for identifying and selecting a set of locations representative of safety issues throughout the community and then conduct walls audits and field review with community members to discuss the nature of the safety issues at each location.
