No one knows Santa Ana’s streets like the people who live there, and a group of local youth has used that knowledge in an unprecedented effort to get the city a $2.37 million grant for bike lanes on the roads they ride every day.The small group of middle and high school students, working with nonprofit KidWorks, spearheaded a “bikability” assessment in central Santa Ana two years ago and realized that the thoroughfare they rode on to get to school – Edinger Avenue – was in great need of bike lanes.With some guidance from KidWorks staff and Santa Ana planners, the youth wrote a grant for active transportation funding from the state, and late last month they learned the project submitted through the city had been awarded the money.
