This Plan is in response to, and as provided for, in the State Planning Act, Sections 65302 and 65303, concerning required and permissable Elements of the General Plan; and the Public Resources Code, Division 5, Chapter 1, Article 6.5, concerning Bicycle Paths and Routes. · INTRODUCTION Previous phases of the Bike Route Study, involving the gathering and analysis of data related to physical, technical, economic, social, and community factors, including the identi- fication of problems and potentials are discussed in the Bike Route Background Report. From this analysis a Bike Route Concept was developed for presentation to various departments, agencies, and citizens for their review. This document presents a Proposed Bike Route Plan for the City of Santa Ana, indicating basic policy statements, recommended bicycle routes, and initial program guidelines. The Proposed Plan reflects the comments and recommendations of both citizens and affected governmental agencies. This Proposed Plan, reflecting final staff recommendations, is being submitted to the City Council for adoption as an Element of the General Plan. This plan sets forth the long-range objectives, policies, and programs~ essential for the implementation of a Bike Route System in the City of Santa Ana. It also recommends an Imple- mentatiOn program-(~hase I) for those portions of the Policy Plan that can be achieved within a short time (12 months) utilizing existing sources of funds, technology, land, and facilities. · INTENT AND PURPOSE The degree of importance attributed to the establishment of bicycle routes is clearly indicated by the State of Calif- ornia Legislature's addition of Article 6.5 to Chapter 1 of Division 5 of the Public Resources code. This article pro- vides that consideration shall be given to the establishment and designation of bicycle paths and routes in the general plans of local agencies. It also states that rights-of-way established by cities, counties, or local agencies shall not be abandoned unless the governing body thereof determines that the rights-of-way or parts thereof are not useful as bicycle paths or routes; that under specified conditions subdividers may be required to provide necessary and feasible land for bicycle paths; that the Department of Public Works shall con- sult with the Department of Parks and Recreation in establish- ing general design criteria and assessing the advisability of including bicycle paths adjacent to the roadways and accommo- dating existing and planned bicycle routes; and so forth. The Proposed Bike Route Plan consisting of this text and map is in response to a mandate by the State Legislature, the City Council Act of October, 1971, and citizen desire and interest in developing a comprehensive Bike Route System. Its purpose is to provide an official guide to the future development of bicycle routes for the use of the City planning Commission, the Council and Mayor, other concerned governmental agencies, 2 residents, and interested organizations. It is intended to detail the General Plan, enhance and support the Open Space Element, qualify the City for funds, and aid in the implemen- tation of bicycling programs. The plan sets forth basic policy statements; relates bicycle routes to community needs; designates recommended routes and corridors; establishes standards and criteria for surfacing, marking, landscaping, maintenance, safety and other features; estimates costs; and outlines an administra- tive and development program. However, plans are subject to review and amendment as circumstances change. Accordingly~ this Policy Plan should be considered for revision as changing bicycl~ usage, land use development, traffic conditions, and community needs warrant. OBJECTIVES The basic objectives of the Bike Route Plan are to encour- age and facilitate a greater use of bicycles within the City; to provide a viable alternative mode of transportation for all age groups, e~pecially the young and active elderly; to pro- mote economic and social opportunities and the safety and welfare of the community; to contribute to a healthful and pleasant environment; and to expand the-utilitarian and recrea- tional benefits inherent in bicycling. These objectives can be accomplished by providing ade- quate facilities for safe, convenient, and plea- sant bicycle travel between and among the resi- dential, recreational, commercial, civic, of Santa Ana and the surrounding region. and industrial areas · DEFINITIONS AND POLICIES 0 Definitions · Bicycle A device upon which a person may ride, propelled by human power through a belt, chain or gears, and having one (unicycle), two (bicycle) or three (tri- cycle) wheels. · Bike Path A surfaced corridor separated from public streets and other uses and reserved exclusively for bicycle use. · Bike Lane Any street, arterial thoroughfare, or public right- of-way on which markings indicate a corridor reserved for the exclusive or semi-exclusive use of bicycles. · Bike Route Any Bike Path, Bike Lane, or combination so designa- ted on the Bike Route Plan. · Bike Route System The citywide network of Bike Routes and related faci- lities, officially designated in the Bike Route Plan, connecting points of educational, cultural, civic and recrea- 4 .O · tional interest with residential, industrial areas. commercial and Policies General Policies · The Bike Route Plan shall ,be an integral Element of the General Plan and be coordinated with all other programs and plans of the City. · The Bike Route Plan shall be provided for in the Capital ImDrovements Program. · ~he City shall actively encourage the development and Utilization of the Bike Route Plan. Bike Route Policies · The Bike Routes shall be established serving both recreational and commuter needs. · The Bike Routes shall consist of a harmonious balance of both on-street and off-street facilities. · The Bike Routes shall be coordinated with those of the County and adjacent cities. · The Bike Route System shall contain numerous feeder routes connecting with the santa Aha River and Santiago Creek Trails, so as to provide for maxi- mum access to that system. · The Bike Routes shall connect as many major acti- vity centers in the city as possible, such as libraries, museum, parks, commercial shopping areas, governmental facili- ' * '' ties, and concentrated population areas of the City. 5 · The Bike Routes shall be developed in accordance with established standards and criteria as set forth in this plan, as regards such features as landscaping, surfacing, safety elements, and so forth. New Development Policies · Residential Tract and Parcel Maps, where relevant, shall include provisions for Bike Routes to serve the tract and to connect with the Bike Route Sys- tem. This provision must conform to established standards and criteria as approved by the Recrea- tion and Park Dgpartment and the Public Works Department. ® Commercial areas shall provide for bicycle parking areas and establish intra-site Bike Routes that are integrated with the Bike Route System. · Public and Quasi-Public development shall provide for bicycle parking areas and establish intra- site Bike Routes that are integrated with the Bike Route System. · The Central Business Redevelopment Area Study shall provide for bicycle parking areas and intra- area Bike Routes that are integrated with the Bike Route System. · Industrial developments, when abutting arterial or secondary highways, shall, where deemed appropriate, provide for Bike Routes alongside those thorough- fares. · Public projects shall provide for Bike Routes and related facilities. · Rejuvenating residential communities shall be planned for Bike Routes that are integrated with the Bike Route System. · FEATURES OF THE PLAN The Proposed Bike Route Plan suggests a Bike Route System of 50 miles of corridors that are coordinated and integrated with the Open Space Element of the General Plan; residential patterns; travel patterns; major commercial centers; educational, cultural and civic nodes; and recrea- tional centers and activities of the city. The Plan also incorporates major nodes and facilities of the County and adjacent cities, as well as the probable travel patterns of bicyclists.passing through Santa Aha. The Bike Routes func- tion essentially as a dual network serving both recreational and commuter needs. Within th~ 50 miles of conceptualized corridors, zones, aged. of ~ or approximately 70 miles of specific routes are envis- These would consist of more or. less equal distances Bike Paths, reserved exclusively for bi- cycle use; and 7 · Bike Lanes, posted routes with the city streets for exclusive bicycle use. corridors marked upon or semi-exclusive The Policy Plan indicates the conceptual corridors in grey tones. The solid black lines represent off-street Bike Routes that are either already completed, or are intended along publicly owned rights-of-way. The specific routings within the corridors will depend upon the results of detailed surveys by the Traffic Engineering Section to assess the safest, most convenient routes with which to service the corridor concept. The Bike Route System connects with major Bike Routes developed by the County and those of adjacent cities. Major connection points are via the Santa Aha River Trail to the southwest and north, Santiago Creek to the way and drainage channels to the west, and on the eastern and western city limits. northeast, rail- surface streets A series of routes provide for relatively direct travel across the City. · The major route, the Santa Ana River and Santiago Creek Trails, provides for travelers between the southwes- tern and northern and northeastern portions of the City, connecting Fountain valley, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa with Orange and Anaheim. · The Pacific Electric Route contributes · towards connecting Orange and the Irvine/ Costa Mesa area via the Santa Ana Civic Center. · The South Coast Route connects Costa Mesa with north- ern Santa Ana via the South Coast and Santa Aha college. · East-west routes cross the City: ern limits, another in the Central City area, necting Garden. Grove/Westminster with Tustin. shopping complex one near the south- con- ~he Golden City Loop provides a major recreational cir- cuit located within ~he City. It includes portions of the Santa Ana River and Santiago Creek Trails, the Pacific Electric Route, and the Southern Pacific/Edison Route. The majority of the Golden City Loop is comprised of Bike Paths. AS such it will provide a long-distance route devoted almost entirely to the exclusive use of bicycles. By utilizing the rivers and railway rights-of-way for long stretches it will minimize the amount of automobile traffic with which bicy- clists will have to contend. The Golden City Loop, while providing a continuous recrea- tional riding circuit, has also been designed to serve as a connec%or between as many recreational and activity centers as possible. Located along the Golden City Loop (or within a quarter mile via' f~eder routes) are such major facilities as Riverview and willowick Golf Courses, Santiago Day Camp, Alona, Centennial, Carl Thornton, Jack Fisher, and Santiago Parks, and numerous school yards. . . In addition to the Golden city LooP, numerous shorter circuits are created by utilizing segments of various routes. From any point in the City a bicyclist will be able to under- take a non-repetitive route of virtually any length desired. Commuter use is considered an absolutely essential ele- ment of the Bike Route Plan. As a result the major education- al, employment, shopping, public service, and other activity areas are integral to the Plan and the Bike Routes facilitate access to these centers from all residential areas of the city. In addition, major areas adjacent to the City are accommodated and routes have been designed to aid bicyclists in inter-City commuting. Public and private educational institutions of elemen- tary, secondary and tertiary levels have been integrated into the plan as centers representing major commuter activity. The routes have been delineated to serve directly such regional centers as South Coast village and Plaza, Honer Plaza, Fashion Square, Town and Country Center, the civic Center, the Central City area and Santa Ana College. For inter-City commuters the east-west routes and the Civic Center and river routes in particular serve central Santa Ana and industrial areas to the east, Irvine. southwest and in The Bike Paths will be landscaped so as to provide an aesthetically pleasant environment for safe, leisurely bicycling. Also, rest facilities and bicycle storage areas will be provided at convenient points and in association with parks, golf courses, and other such activity centers along the routes. · STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Width · Bike Paths shall.have a minimum width of 5 feet for a one- way route, 10 feet for two-way routes. · Bike Lanes shall have a minimum width of 4 feet for a one- way route. Surfacin~ · Bike Routes shall be constrmcted with a hard all-weather, well drained surface.. Signin~ and Markin~ · All Bike Routes shall be clearly and adequately marked to guide bicyclists and alert motorists to bicycle traffic. · Bike paths shall be posted at all entry points and inter- sections with other Bike Routes as to the name of the route; directions to major activity centers and points of interest; distances to significant points7 and notice that the Bike-P~th is for the sole and exclusive use of bicyclists. ®Bike Lanes shall be posted at ever~ arterial street and intersections with other Bike Routes as to the name of the route; direc- tions to major activity centers and points ill I of interest; and distances to significant points. · Signs indicating "Bike Route" shall be posted along the street immediately after every major intersection and at such intervals and locations as are deemed necessary. In addition, Bike Lanes shall be indicated on the ground by a white line and reflectors and, at appropriate intervals, the words "Bikes Only." Route Placement A Bike Route shall not be located along a major arterial street if one or more of the following conditions exist: · excessively heavy traffic volume in combination with narrow road width; · suitable parallel routes exist on adjacent streets; · such routes, in conjunction with already existing parallel routes, would result in too many bicycle route crossings being created on a given street within a relatively short distance. Where feasible, as determined by the Public Works Depart- ment, the Bike Routes shall make use of sidewalks (instead of removing parking lanes, or narrowing and/or elimina- ting driving lanes) in lieu of on-street lanes, especially where heavy traffic volumes exist. ~torm Drain Gratings Storm drain gratings along Bike Routes shall be modified, if necessary, to permit bicycle wheels to roll safely across. ·. Service Facilities ® Facilities such as restrooms, drinking fountains, seats, and racks shall be provided at selected points along the Bike Routes. Their location, design, and construction should be in harmony with the adjacent area and, where possible, the facilities should be integrated with recrea- tional and other facilities along the Bike Routes. · Bicycle racks, adequate for the secure locking of bicycles, shall be provided~in sufficient numbers at all public buildings and facilities--parks, schools, libraries, museums, civic Center, governmental offices, and so forth. These shall be prominently and conveniently located. · Bicycle racks and storage areas shall be provided in sufficient numbers at all new commercial shopping and entertainment developments--and encouraged at such faci- lities as already exist.~ These shall be prominently and conveniently located. Maintenance. · The Bike Routes shall be maintained in a suitable condi- tion for safe and comfortable bicycling, including ade- quate sweeping to prevent accumulation of broken glass, metal and other debris, and repair of any surface irre- ' gularities. - ~ Landscaping · Landscaping shall be designed so as to pro- vide an aesthetic environment along the Bike Routes, by shielding undesirable views and creating a parklike environment. It shall also be integrated with fences, walls, berms, and barriers to provide for the safety of the bicyclists along flood control channels, railroad lines, and so forth. · IMPLEMENTATION To achieve the objectives of the Bike Route Plan key programs must be implemented. These programs spell out courses of action, their phasing over the life of the Plan, and appropriate priorities. While the general programs listed below are considered necessary to fully implement the total Bike Route System, the recommendations indicated for "Phase I" will implement an initial portion of the system, considered feasible at this time in terms of available funds, facilities and technology. 0 General The following policy programs serve as a foundation for more specific implementation actions that are to be accom- plished in phases. · Establish a Santa Ana Bike Route Committee to act as a coordinating agency in investigating costs and determining priorities for the construction, opera- tion and maintenance of the Bike Route System. · Amend the Municipal Code to give bicy- clists the right to an exclusive lane on · . streets and highways. 0 Phase I Proposed Bike Routes recommended for com- pletion during the first phase of development (Phase I) are intended to fulfill the basic Coordinate, with adjacent cities and the Count~ future needs for Bike Route development, cooperative funding, and public and private land easements. · Review the subsequent usage of the Bike Route System to determine its effect upon bicycle utilization, safety, and public acceptance, to assure that the basic objectives of the Plan are achieved and to re- commend necessary alterations or revisions. · Establish a bicycle safety and education program for both motorists and bicyclists. · Seek sources of funding for the Bike Route Plan and make application to relevant programs such as: · Federal and County Revenue Sharing Funds; · Urban Beautification and Improvement Programs; · Open Space Land Acquisition and Development Grants; · Outdoor Recreation Assistance Grants; and · Public Land for Recreation, Public Purposes and Historic Movements. · Establish a procedure for ensuring that the Annual Budget for the City includes provisions for imple- mentin~ the Bike Route System. · Initiate mandatory inclusion of Bike Route concepts in public an~ private developments, by amending the Municipal Code to require inclusion of these concepts. objectives of the Bike Route Plan. Phase I will establish one-third of the total Bike Route System, providing an initial network that is functional and cohesive in its own right. The routes will serve both recreational and commuter uses; inte, grate the County and selected adjacent city routes; connect several major activity centers throughout the City, especial- ly educational facilities; provide on-street and off-street facilities;.and provide for safe, convenient, and leisurely bicycling. The most important aspect of the Phase I Plan is that it will demonstrate the City's commitment to the successful development of a Bike Route System, by acknowledging the need for immediate and affirmative action in completing as much of the system as possible. As a result, the use of bicycles will be greatly facilitated and an impetus and encouragement given to their use that could hardly be achieved in any other man- ner. Also, additional implementation, derived from and guided by a comprehensive Policy Plan will facilitate the obtainment of funds and orderly completion of the remainder of the Bike Route System. Phase I will also contribute to the development of the City's open spaces, and thus aid in the implementation of the Open Space Element of the General Plan. Features of the Phase I Plan. The 33 miles of routes that are re- commended for development in the first phase provide for a variety of recrea- tional and commuter needs, and service widely separated areas of the City. The routes are comprised of 18 miles of Bike Paths and 15 miles of Bike Lanes, and include the following: · A major north-south route, the South Coast Route, which connects the major southern commercial area with the Santa Ana River Trail in the north, and includes Santa Ana college. Over one-half of this route will be off-street Bike Paths; · An east-west route which serves the civic Center and Central City Area from the western side of the City. This will all be essentially Bike Lanes for the exclusive or semi-exclusive use of bicy- cles; A major portion of the permits long-distance, Golden City Loop, which leisurely bicycling on off- street Bike Paths. The completed first portions of the Golden City Loop will include the Pacific Electric Route, the South Coast Route, and the Southern Pacific/Edison Routes, totalling 18 miles of Off-street Bike Paths; · ;~ ~oute system linking residents of the north- eastern section of the City to the Central City area ahd~to the Pacific Electric/Golden City Loop; and · Integration of these routes with the County Trail along the Santa Ana River via the Fourth Street route, South Coast Route, and a Bike Lane along Edinger Avenue. In conjunction with the County's Santa Ana River and Santiago Creek Trails, the City routes will connect such facilities and activity centers as the South Coast village and Plaza, Santa Ana college, Honer Plaza, the Civic Center and Central City Area (with their cultural and historical features), Riverview and willowick Golf Courses, Santiago Day Camp, several large parks, and numerous schools. Land- scaping will be provided along much of the route, especially on the Bike Paths. Safety features can be installed, such as protective fences, berms, walls, traffic lights, stop signs, and striping. Costs Table I (following two pages) presents an approxi- mate estimate of the cost of construction of the Routes to be completed in Phase I. It should be noted that the Phase I Implementation Map indicates details of signing, street closing, traf- fic signals, and so forth, for the Bike Paths only, and along the Pacific Electric Railroad right-of-way in particular. This is done to aid in planning and estimating the cost of the through-route Bike Path system. For on-street Bike Aanes, the Traffic Engin- eering Section of the Public Works Department will have to assess the safety and signing needs of each route individually, and recommend such measures as deemed necessary. · TABLE I APPROXIMATE COST ESTIMATE FOR PHASE I IMPLEMENTATION u~ ~u.~ OO~ ~ o o~o ~ Paving $16,125 $31,500 $23,000 (10,750 ft) (21,000 ft) (15,300 ft) Striping $ 130 $ 740 (1,900 kt) (11,000 ft) Signing $ 1,400 $ 400 $ 600 Chestnut (2) Dyer (2) Edinger (1) Bishop (2) Flower (2) Channel (1) Beverly (2) Segersgrom (1) H~bart (2) Alton (1) Occidental (2) MacArthur (1) St. Andrews (2) Sunflower (1) St. Gertrude (2) Acquisition * Pedestrian $40,000 $20,000 $10,000 Lights 4 pedestrian 2 pedestrian 1 pedestrian lights at lights at light at First Main Warner1 McFadden Bristol1 ~Edinge~ Warner~ Landscaping *- ~ * * TOTAL $57,~655~ $51,900 $34,340 *Recommended to be paid for out of Parks Recreation Department Open Space Funds. and TABLE I - iCONTINUED -~ ~-~ o~'o $ o o O Paving $ 70,625 Striping $ 1,700 $ 350 $ 1,800 $ 4,720 26,000 ft 5,000 ft 27,000 ft Signing $ 900 $ 400 $ 2,400 Acquisition Pedestrian $ 70,0001 Lights Landscaping TOTAL $ 1,700+ $ 350+ $ 1,800 $147,7454. 1While pedestrian lights are preferable, the cost of implementation could be considerably lessened by the use of vehicular stop signs on these streets. Implementation Action Program To assure the completion of the Bike Route System, it is recommended that the following be enacted: · Adopt the Bike Route Plan and Map. · Establish a Bicycle Committee (composed of private citizens and public officials) to be responsible for the general coordination of the program, to facilitate interdepartmental and interagency coor- dination, ,to coordinate funding applications, and to direct activities such as'educational programs and community efforts related to the Bike Route System. · Designate, by Resolution, the Parks and Recreation Department as the responsible agency for the main- tenance and operation of the Bike Route System, and the Public Works Department as the respohsible agency for the design and construction of the sys- tem. · Instruct the City Attorney to prepare appropriate ordinances to amend the Municipal Code so as to ~% permit the designation of portions of street and highway rights-of-way for use as exclusive Bike Lanes; · mg~e mandatory the licensing (with a fee of 50 cents) of all bicycles owned by City residents; · . · establish the Bike Route System as an integral part of the City's Capital Improvement Program. Negotiate with the Southern Pacific Railroad for the obtainment of easements. Apply for County Revenue Sharing Funds (June, 1974). Specifically, make application to the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1973 for a portion of the funds made available for bicycle path construction in conjunction with highway projects. Specifically, make application to the "Bicycle Lane Account" in the State Transportation Fund, for funds made available from revenue derived from the Motor vehicle Fuel License Tax Law. · Apply for matching funds and/or grants from other agencies or programs, such as · Urban Beautification and Improvement · Open Space Land Acquisition and Development · Outdoor Recreation Assistance · Public Land for Recreation, Public Purposes, and Historic Monuments. · utilize budgeted City funds for Open Space Acquisi- tion for the purchase of Pacific Electric right-of- way and related land, as required in Phase I. · Approve the expenditure of existing funds for the costs as authorized under Part 2 (Costs) of this section. · · · Instruct the Public Works Department to prepare detailed cost estimates. · Initiate a Phase II Program in June, 1974. · instruct the Public Works Department to begin design work.
