OC Connect Public Feedback

The OC Connect Project is now in the public comment period through Nov. 15, 2024 as part of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. During this time, the public, community members, and organizations are invited to share their concerns or suggestions about potential project impacts such as traffic, air quality, or wildlife. The goal is to ensure that residents can be heard by the lead agency. OCTA is holding public meetings and an online form to hear and respond to public comments related to the Project and the intent of OCTA to file CEQA Statuary Exemption pursuant to SB 922 s (Pub. Res. Code §21080.25).

Project Description

OCTA, in cooperation with the cities of Garden Grove and Santa Ana, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 12, and Orange County Public Works, proposes approximately 4 miles of Class I shared use path within the cities of Garden Grove and Santa Ana. The new active transportation facility would connect the cities of Garden Grove and Santa Ana and close a 3-mile-long mobility gap between a future bikeway on Santa Ana Boulevard and downtown Garden Grove. The OC Connect Project would be constructed as a paved shared use path, allowing nonmotorized use, and following Caltrans Class I bikeway design standards as specified in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual Chapter 1000.
