The Cordoba team shall provide plan drawings for the two Build Alternatives selected for screening. Standard format plan sheets with match lines shall be prepared for the alternatives and be consistent with City of Santa Ana standards. Drawings for the major structure elements (e.g., the Santa Ana River bridge) shall be prepared at an APS level. The Cordoba team will also prepare typical cross-sections of the alignment, stations, and major structures. For the cross-sections, track/street/Project centerline, right of way, signaling, landscaping, platform and station access geometries, and limits of existing and proposed surface improvements will be shown. For the two Build Alternatives under consideration, the Cordoba team will identify potential need for modifications or enhancements to the existing traffic control system to accommodate the proposed fixed guideway alignments. Design approaches will be identified early and reviewed with City staff for concurrence or modification. Special attention will be given to developing preliminary solutions for pedestrian and bicycle operations and safety. Of special significance to streetcar alternatives is the location of poles for support of the overhead centenary system (OCS). Other challenges in the location of the OCS system could include the mature trees along the proposed alignments, particularly in the Renaissance area. The Cordoba team will include in the technical report a description of the bus and streetcar vehicle options available and appropriate for use in the Santa Ana Fixed Guideway Corridor. The technical report will also address the following systems issues: Vehicles • Substations/substation spacing • Strain pole — spacing & ability to use existing light and signal poles • Interface with the traffic signal system Deliverable(s) - Drawings and Conceptual Engineering Design Technical Report Task 6.2.2 Traffic Operations Analysis We will collect and aggregate available transportation infrastructure and operations data from accessible databases along with collecting pertinent field traffic data. The data collection effort will focus on determining specific volumes and inventory of transportation -related infrastructure. The evaluation of transportation and circulation impacts will address the major subject areas, such as: level of service at intersections, local and regional roadways; transit capacity utilization; parking conditions near the fixed guideway alignments; and pedestrian/bicycle circulation conditions. The travel demand forecast model will produce estimates of future traffic volumes on Santa Ana city streets that will be employed to produce estimates of future (Year 2035) and design year traffic conditions. The traffic impact analysis will also utilize the Operations Plans for the Build Alternatives developed in Task 6.2.5. The transportation impacts analysis that will be used to gauge the potential effect that the fixed guideway alternatives on city traffic operations and circulation will include analyses that documents existing conditions, intersection traffic impact assessment and benefits, as well as 161 Page
