MAP of proposed Santa Ana-Garden Grove trail (OCTA).

The development of a biking and walking trail connecting Garden Grove and Santa Ana is being studied and public input on the project is being sought.

On Monday, the Orange County Transportation and Planning Committee will hold a meeting beginning at 10:30 a.m. that will accept community comments for the “OC Connect” project.

What’s proposed along the four-mile path is to use part of the former Pacific Electric right-of-way corridor (along with a part of the Winterburg Channel between the old PE route and Hazard Avenue in Santa Ana).

When finished it would connect the downtown areas of Garden Grove and Santa Ana along with the Santa Ana River Trail and the countywide 66-mile OC Loop Bikeway.

Specifically, the path would begun at Raitt Street in Santa Ana and head northwest, paralleling the under-construction OC Streetcar. But unlike that light-rail system, which stops at Harbor Boulevard (south of Santiago High) in Garden Grove, the OC Connect will continue all the way to Euclid Street, a few blocks south of Garden Grove’s civic center and downtown and Garden Grove High.

Another loop would diverge southward to Rosita Park in Santa Ana.

The meeting will be in the OCTA Board Room at 550 S. Main St. in Orange.
