Santa Ana Safe Mobility Plan I Revised Scope of Work City of Santa Ana, CA 5.1 Location Prioritization: Pedestrian and Bicycle Demand /Deficiency Analysis Active transportation prioritization processes typically include measures that can be broadly classified as reflective of demand (e.g., proximity to schools, parks, transit stops, population density, employment density) and those reflective of network deficiency (e.g., collision history, number of travel lanes, posted speed, AADT, availability or lack of traffic control). To inform the selection of higher risk field review locations, we will utilize a heat mapping exercise that identifies the relative demand for wallcing and bicycling throughout the city and compares it to the level of obstacle presented by the roadway network. This analysis will illuminate areas with both high demand and high deficiency, which are frequently high priority areas. The resulting map, overlaid with the risk based and hot spot collision analyses, will allow our team to suggest a list of high risk locations from different parts of the city, reflective of the differing conditions facing people walking and bicycling throughout Santa Ana. 5.2 Field Review.• CommunityWalk/Bike Audits We will conduct community walk and /or bike audits at a sub -set of the locations identified in Task 5.1. These audits, conducted throughout the city, will provide residents from different neighborhoods an opportunity to share their perceptions of safety issues they encounter when walking and bicycling. This task will provide valuable information to complement the consultant team's understanding of contributing This map overlays an assessment of walking factors based on the collision data. In addition to demand with a measure of roadway conditions and listening to the community, these audits will allow our infrastructure quality to highlight areas with a team to observe vehicle, walking and bicycling mismatch of demand and supply. behaviors or infrastructure elements that may be contributing to safety risk. The field reviews will be conducted when school is in session. In addition to raising community understanding of the Safe Mobility Plan issues, the mobile audit workshops will be used to confirm the relative importance of the risk factors developed in Task 4.2 and Task 5.1. Deliverables: Pedestrian and Bicycle Demand /Deficiency Analysis Preparation, facilitation, and documentation of 3 Community walk/ bike audits Suggestions or special concerns that the City should be aware of Communityinput into the Mobility Safety Plan is important to project prioritization as well as for future support for street capital expenditures. However, the short timeline for the project requires city staff support for a meaningful engagement.
