Task 3.2 Study Corridor Redefinition This task will review previous study corridor boundaries and redefine the corridor for the purpose of this study. In general, the study corridor will extend from the City of Santa Ana SARTC station to a terminus station at Harbor Boulevard. As part of the alternatives analysis process, all reasonable alternatives that address the identified mobility problems in the corridor will be considered. The Cordoba team will revisit the study corridor area defined during the Go Local Step 1 work effort to ensure that the defined limits are appropriate to support the technical analyses to be conducted on all identified alternatives during both the alternatives analysis, and the environmental evaluation. The definition of the study corridor will incorporate the identification of key physical elements and travel characteristics of the transportation system that could benefit or be impacted by the proposed project, as well as the requirements of environmental review process as defined by CEQA and NEPA. To the extent that the new study area boundary differs from earlier studies, conclusions and forecasts from these earlier studies will need to be adjusted accordingly. The Cordoba team will, at the end of this task, recommend redefined study area boundaries and study corridors such that a Project Study Area can be established for the Scoping and Definition of Alternatives. Deliverable(s) - Study Corridor Definition Report Task 3.3 Photography & Field Reviews The Cordoba team will conduct and document field reviews to get a better understanding of the corridor. The fieldwork will focus on key issue areas, as well as locations requiring further attention as identified in the initial data collection phase. As a part of these reviews, it will be important to visually document conditions in the corridor including high level and low-level aerial photography. The aerial photography will be provided by the City of Santa Ana for use throughout the study. The Cordoba team will utilize the aerial photography provided by the City in conducting defining and analyzing alternatives, and to prepare presentation boards (30" X 40") showing all the alignments on the same board (or series of boards). Aerial photography will be supported by ground -level photographs obtained by the Cordoba team to document conditions along specific alignments and at proposed station areas. Although the exact number of project alternatives to be carried through for conceptual engineering and urban design analysis are not known at this time, for the purposes of pricing cost proposals, the Cordoba team assumes two (2) different route alignments. Video surveys may also be utilized to visually represent the corridor and the various alignment options so that the elements and issues considered in the AA analysis and subsequent EIS/EIR can be more effectively described to the general public in presentations, on the internet and in written materials.
