RESOLUTION 94-020 Facts in Support of Finding [ Realtg~ MaFadden Avenue Without Widening This alternative would realign McFadden Avenue east of Main Street. How- ever, the realigned roadway would be two lanes instead of four lanes, with a 40 foot paved area within a 60 foot right-of-way. This alternative was reject- ed for the following reasons: Without the additional through lanes on McFadden, the Main Street/McFadden Avenue intersection would operate at level of service F at peak hours (intersection failure). The two lane width is inconsistent with both the City of Santa Ant General Plan and the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH). Constructing a new roadway at a width inconsistent with the MPAH would jeopardize the City's receipt of CountTwide roadway improvement funds. Such funds include the Arterial Highway Financ- ing Program (AHFP), and funds derived from Measure M, the County's one-half cent sales tax measure. Realign and Widen McFadden Bisecting Latbrop Inte~-mediate School This alternative would realign and widen McFadden Avenue on an alil~nment that would bisect Lathrop Intermediate School. This alterative would meet the existing alignment on the west at Broadway and on the east at Main Street. This alternative was rejected because it would require removal of mo~t of the Lathrop Intermediate School playground, and no replacement playground area has been identified. The Lathrop playground is already undersized. widen McFadden Avenue Without Realignment This alternative would widen the east leg of McFadden Avenue to four lanes centered on its existing alignment, from Maple to Main Street and retain the offset intersection at Main Street. This alternative was rejected because: The two tightly spaced arterial intersections on Main Street would be maintained; The projected overcapacity condition of the left mm pockets at Main and McFadden would not be resolved. Indeed, the already substan- da.rd left mm pockets would be 24 feet shorter due to the in~ width of McFadden Avenue; and 04~ z t,940:.-.SNA402'.. HNDm Gs.zer) 14
