As Bristol Street approaches the intersections, the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate right -turn pockets and left -turn lanes in each direction. The proposed Project also includes the addition of a westbound right -turn lane on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street and removal of the eastbound through movement on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street to match the existing condition. Furthermore, a cul-de-sac would be constructed at 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street. The proposed Project would also install an approximately 8-foot- high block wall at approximately the same location where the soundwall was previously recommended (as addressed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR). The widening would require full acquisitions of 20 parcels fronting Bristol Street as detailed in Table 1 (Property Acquisitions) of this Addendum.
