ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT FAIRVIEW STREET IMPROVEMENTS FROM 9TH STREET TO 16TH STREET AND JUNE 2019 BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA Further research identified the road running adjacent to the Southern Pacific Railroad as Firestone Boulevard, which was the first direct automobile route between Los Angeles and Santa Ana. This route first opened in 1935. It was known as US 101, and in 1953, it was expanded into the Santa Ana Freeway. The earliest available online aerial photograph of the area dates from 1953. It shows that although there were residential housing tracts in the area, the land along what would become Fairview Street was still open agricultural land except at the north where Westminster Avenue/17th Street is, and at the south, where several buildings are just southwest of the current APE. A 1963 aerial photograph is the first to show Fairview Street and the Fairview Street bridge. By 1963, tract housing existed alongside the APE and the areas adjacent to the APE were more than half developed. A 1972 aerial photograph shows that the Fairview Street Bridge is much larger than that depicted on the 1963 aerial. The bridge on the 1972 aerial appears to be the currently existing bridge. By 1972, several undeveloped areas existed adjacent to the APE, although these did not exist in the next available aerial photograph dated 1995. Little change has occurred to the APE since 1995. NATIVE AMERICAN CONSULTATION The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) was contacted on February 9, 2018, to conduct a Sacred Lands File search for the APE. Gayle Totton of the NAHC responded on February 12, 2018. Ms. Totton advised that the results of the search were negative for Native American cultural resources in the project APE but recommended contacting 23 individuals representing the Gabrielino, Juaneno, Kitanemuk, Kumeyaay, Serrano, and Tataviam groups who may have knowledge of cultural resources in or close to the project APE.
