Improving the 3.9- <br />mile Bristol Street segment from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane has been a long-term <br />priority project that will be constructed in several phases. The project includes <br />improvements of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue and <br />Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place. Improvements include <br />rehabilitation of sidewalks, raised landscaped medians, bike lanes, and widening the <br />street from two to three lanes in each direction. <br />In addition, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) conducted a ridership <br />study and identified the 100 busiest transit stops in Orange County. Thirty-nine of these <br />locations occur in Santa Ana. Twenty-five of these locations have been determined to be <br />"high-load", which is defined as a stop where eight or more passengers are waiting to <br />board for an average of five or more minutes. This project will provide new, upgraded <br />facilities at these locations, the installation of 35 new bus shelters with integral benches, <br />trash receptacles, and advertisement panels.
