BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Public Works shall erect or cause to be erected appropriate signs giving notice of such street closure. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that by this Resolution the City of Santa Ana does not surrender its title or any portion thereof in or to said street. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Council does hereby adopt the following as its findings of fact upon which is based its determination to close Rousselle Street as described hereinabove: 1. That Rousselle Street lies immediately adjacent to the Pacific Electric Bike Trail; 2. That through traffic on Rousselle Street between Ana- hurst Place and Warner Avenue endangers the safety of cyclists when traversing the bike trail; 3. That the construction of a cul-de-sac on the south end of that portion of Rousselle Street located between Ana- hurst Place and Warner Avenue will eliminate all but purely local traffic and increase the safety of cyclists using the Pacific Electric Bike Trail; 4. That the street closure will facilitate the construc- tion of a pedestrian-type traffic signal for the cyclists' cross- ing of Warner Avenue.
