Construction of the PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, FORMAL BID NO. 2022/01 consists of improving the safety and accessibility on the existing pedestrian facilities network by focusing on areas where improvements are needed most and all work necessary to render the facilities complete and operational. Per the City of Santa Maria's Draft Active Transportation Plan, the majority of respondents surveyed describe walking as their most commonly used method of transportation. Furthermore, the majority of survey respondents explained that they mostly live within the low-to-moderate income areas, captured within the Census Block Group data as required for the CDBG funded portion of this project. Lastly, parents surveyed explained that distance from school, the overall safety of crossings at intersections, and gaps in continuous sidewalk are the primary reasons for their children not walking to school. Additional funding sources are being utilized for improvement to other facilities in other areas of the City. Such improvements include sidewalk, curbs ramps, driveways, and curb and gutter on streets that will receive an HMA overlay with a future project.
