The County of Orange is proposing to extend and realign the Santa Ana River Bikeway and Riding and Hiking Trail to better serve users and to complete its portion of the proposed 100-mile recreational parkway adjacent to the Santa Ana River. The project site is located along the Santa Ana River Parkway between Gypsum Canyon Road and the Orange County Boundary. The Santa Ana River Parkway (Project) will extend the Santa Ana River Bikeway and the separate Santa Ana River Riding and Hiking Trail within this parkway. The Santa Ana River Bikeway is a regional Class I (off-road, paved) bikeway; it accommodates pedestrians and commuter and recreational bicyclists. The Santa Ana River Trail is a regional riding and hiking trail (unpaved); it accommodates walkers, hikers, runners, joggers, mountain bicyclists, and equestrians. The hydraulic and sediment analysis of the Santa Ana RIver was developed to quantify the impacts to habitat resulting from the proposed condition. Normally impacts analysis examines changes in hydraulic; in some cases impacts analysis looks at how the changes in hydraulics impact habitat. In the case of the present project the analysis examined how the impacts to hydraulics and the changes in sediment transport impacted the habitat. GIS-based tools were used to further quantify area of impacts for each habitat type by location within the channel. Join us as our speakers Jeff Dickman, Planner IV (Trails and Bikeways), OC Public Works, Jerry Flores, Associate Principal, AECOM and David A. Jaffe, PhD, PE, D.WRE; Psomas, Technical Lead to discuss proposed improvements to the Santa Ana River Parkway . Speaker: Jeff Dickman Mr. Dickman began work at the County of Orange in November 1985.
