BTA funds are designated for bicycle <br />related improvement projects to better integrate transportation facilities into the surrounding <br />community. One of the BTA applications submitted was for the implementation of class II (on- <br />street) bike lanes on Bristol Street from McFadden Avenue to Edinger Avenue. <br />On September 14, 2011 Caltrans notified the City of the BTA grant award for the Bristol Street <br />bike lanes from McFadden Avenue to Edinger Avenue. Subsequently, on October 1 7, 201 1 , <br />Caltrans and the City entered into an agreement authorizing BTA funding up to $64,800 for this <br />project. City staff expects to advertise this project in early 2012. <br />Bristol Street class II (on-street) bike lanes are identified in the Santa Ana Bikeway Master Plan. <br />Currently, Bristol Street between First Street and McFadden Avenue is the only section of Bristol <br />Street that has existing class II (on-street) bike lanes. This project will extend the existing class II <br />bike lanes along Bristol Street from McFadden Avenue up to Edinger Avenue to better serve the <br />needs of the bicycling community. <br />20B-1
