This phase of the project <br />requires that a consulting firm be hired to prepare the appropriate <br />environmental documents, preliminary engineering plans and cost <br />estimates. <br />The project proposes to widen Fairview Street from four to six <br />lanes from the Santa Ana River in the City of Santa Ana to State <br />Route 22 in the City of Garden Grove (Exhibit 1) The project <br />consists of improving Fairview Street to major arterial standards <br />that include three general purpose lanes in each direction, a <br />raised fourteen foot wide median and sidewalk improvements. The <br />project also includes widening the Fairview Street Bridge at the <br />Santa Ana River. <br />In the Request For Proposal (REP) staff specified that an <br />Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Environmental Impact <br />Statement (EIS) be prepared due to the number of proposed <br />residential takings and business displacements. An EIR/EIS was <br />also required so the option of seeking federal funding for future <br />phases of the project would be available. The City of Santa Ana <br />will act as lead agency for the project and be responsible for the <br />approval and certification of the EIR/EIS. <br />D'~~ <br />~~ G <br />O.S. 383 I <br />
