EIR Number No. 89-01 was filed for the Bristol Street Improvements and Widening from Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue project. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency (PWA)'s Engineering Division is responsible for managing the City's roads and transportation network. Bristol Street is a part of the regionally significant north -south corridor, which is designated as a major arterial highway in the City's General Plan Circulation Element. Bristol Street, between Warner Avenue and Memory Lane, is a long-term improvement project to be completed in several phases as funding becomes available. The initial phases were completed in 2002, which included improvements from St. Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue and from Elm Street to Memory Lane. Since then, enhancements have been made at key intersections, such as Bristol Street and Warner Avenue, Bristol Street and 17t" Street, as well as segments between McFadden Avenue and Civic Center Drive, and from Washington Avenue to 17t" Street. The current phase will improve Bristol Street from Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue (Exhibit 1). These improvements include roadway widening from two to three lanes in each direction with protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, parkways, and a raised landscape median. The project will also include sound walls adjacent to residential parcels and water main improvements. Once completed, these improvements will enhance the ride quality and visual appearance of the Bristol Street corridor. The next phase will address the segment from Warner Avenue to St. Andrew Place, further continuing the transformation of this transportation route.
