No. 2004-215. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The cities of Santa Ana and Tustin have been working cooperatively to <br />widen Edinger Avenue from Ritchey Street to 1400 feet east of Redhill <br />Avenue. The widening is part of the Moulton Parkway Smart Street <br />proj ect and includes a raised median in Edinger Avenue. The Smart <br />Street project environmental impact report (EIR) had originally <br />included an opening in the median at Boyd Street to accommodate <br />westbound left turns and northbound left turns. However, in order to <br />reduce the potential for accidents, staff later determined the need to <br />construct the median without an opening at Boyd Street (Exhibit 1). <br /> <br />Since the scope of work in the EIR included a median opening at Boyd <br />Street, it is now necessary to approve and adopt a negative declaration <br />to close the median. The portion of the Edinger Avenue median at Boyd <br />Street is the subject of Negative Declaration ER-2004-215. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Negative <br />Declaration, E.R. No. 2004-215 has been prepared for this project. <br /> <br />23F-1 <br />
