OC Public Works is almost finished constructing a new bikeway in Santa Ana!

OC Public works will finish a new bikeway in Santa Ana in December. The bikeway is located next to the Santa Ana Gardens flood control channel between Monta Vista Avenue and First Street, and between Sullivan Street and Raitt Street.

The new bikeway, which can also be enjoyed by pedestrians and joggers, is just over one-half mile long. This new path connects to the first section that was completed in 2016 between McFadden Avenue and Monta Vista Avenue, near Monte Vista Elementary School and Jerome Park.

This new bikeway was also constructed in an environmentally-responsible way: Recycled materials were used for the asphalt surface, using recycled rubber tires that otherwise would have went to a landfill.
More updates about opening the new bikeway will be coming soon!

Se espera que el nuevo camino esté terminado en diciembre y está ubicado junto al canal de control de inundaciones de Santa Ana Gardens entre Monta Vista Avenue y First Street, y entre Sullivan Street y Raitt Street.

El nuevo carril bici, que también pueden disfrutar los peatones y corredores, tiene poco más de media milla de largo. Este nuevo camino conecta con la primera sección que se completó en 2016 entre McFadden Avenue y Monta Vista Avenue, cerca de la Escuela Primaria Monte Vista y Jerome Park.

Este nuevo carril bici también se construyó de forma respetuosa con el medio ambiente: se utilizaron materiales reciclados para la superficie de asfalto, utilizando neumáticos de caucho reciclados que, de otro modo, habrían ido a parar a un vertedero.

Próximamente habrá más actualizaciones sobre la apertura del nuevo carril bici.
