The Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (RTC) is situated just north of Fourth Street (at Santa Ana Boulevard). There are frequent train crossings at Fourth Street, which interrupts the traffic flow there. The passenger trains actually stop at the Santa Ana RTC but those stops do not block Fourth Street. Observations of the gaps in traffic on Fourth Street indicate that, while frequent train crossings do occur, they do not create a long-term blockage of the east-west flow. For example, examination of the gap data (see appendix) in the two peak periods (7-9 AM and 4-6 PM) reveals at no time was traffic flow on Fourth Street interrupted for more than one and a half minutes. Consequently, it is concluded that the existing train crossings albeit frequently, does not constitute a significant factor with respect to access to/from the site. In fact in one respect, access to and from the east is actually facilitated by the train crossings. Santa Ana 111) Supply Repair and Remodel Site 7 Austin-Foust Associates, inc.
