JMF 6.24.20 RESOLUTION NO. 2020-054 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ADOPTING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE FAIRVIEW BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS (9TH STREET TO 16TH STREET) PROJECT BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. To improve pedestrian/bicyclist safety and traffic flow on and in the vicinity of the Fairview Street bridge, the City proposes to replace the Fairview Street bridge over the Santa Ana River and widen Fairview Street between 9th Street and 16th Street ("Project"). B. The Project includes replacing the Fairview Street bridge over the Santa Ana River and widening Fairview Street between 9th Street and 16th Street. Fairview Street will be widened from two lanes in each direction to three lanes in each direction. The Fairview Street bridge will be replaced with a new six- lane bridge (three lanes in each direction), including a complete bridge deck with barrier rails, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, a raised median, and lighting. C. The bridge will be expanded from approximately 52 feet to 100 feet in width and will have the same roadway profile as the existing bridge. D. Fairview Street would remain open during the construction period with two southbound lanes and one northbound lane, with lanes shifted to one side of the bridge while the other side is replaced. Therefore, no detours would be required for vehicles traveling along Fairview Street. Access to properties would be maintained. Pedestrians and bicyclists would be detoured accordingly. E. Construction of the Project is anticipated to begin in 2022, following funding and completion of right-of-way acquisition. Resolution No. 2020-054 Page 1 of 4
