Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of a Recreational Trails Program Grant application in
the amount of $ 180,000 for installation of bike lanes and signage on various streets.
DISCUSSION
In 2005, Congress reauthorized funding of the Recreational Trails Program nationwide. Funding
is available to cities, counties, districts, state agencies, federal agencies and non-profit
organizations with management responsibilities over public lands. In the past, the City of Santa
Ana has been successful in obtaining grant funds for the Flower Street Bike Trail (Phase II), the
Golden Loop Bike Trail rehabilitation, Thornton Park Bike Trail renovation, and Santiago Bike
Trail Enhancement.
The City of Santa Ana Bikeways Strategic Plan, adopted by the City Council in 1998, identifies
locations of the proposed Class I (off street) bike trails and Class II (on street) bike lanes
throughout the City. Most of the Class II bike trails in the City have been completed where public
land is available. Staff reviewed the Bikeways Strategic Plan Class II bike lane locations and has
identified two streets that are wide enough to accommodate bike lanes, First Street (Newhope to
Harbor) and Bristol Street (Edinger to McFadden). Bristol Street (McFadden to First Street) will
be stripped for a bike lane under the current street improvement project.
The grant application guidelines require that cities pass a resolution authorizing the submittal of a
grant application. If this grant request is approved, funds will be used to provide a 1.2 mile
north/south bike lane on Bristol Avenue from First Street to Edinger Avenue and Y2 mile a
east/west spur on First Street from the Newhope bike lane to Harbor Boulevard and Santa Anita
Park.
