The proposed project entails the widening and reconstruction of a 3.9 mile <br />segment of Bristol Street in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of <br />California (See Figure 1). The limits of the proposed project are Memory Lane <br />on the north and Warner Avenue on the south (See Figure 2). The preferred <br />street widening alternative would involve right -of -way acquisition on both sides <br />of Bristol Street, as follows: <br />Santiago Creek to 17th Street - The centerline is shifted west to avoid the Bristol <br />Reservoir and Santiago School. Property will be acquired from both sides. <br />17th to Washington Streets - The centerline is shifted east to avoid Rancho <br />Santiago College. Property will be acquired from the east side. <br />Washington to Edinger Avenues - Widening is from the centerline, with <br />acquisition from both sides. <br />Edinger Avenue to Glenwood Place - The centerline is shifted west to avoid Mater <br />Dei High School with acquisition from both sides. <br />Glenwood Place to Warner Avenue - Widening is from the centerline, with <br />pLoperty takes from both sides. <br />It is anticipated that the entire 3.9 mile roadway project will be constructed in a <br />staged or phased manner. A six-phase approach is envisioned with Phase I <br />consisting of the widening and reconstruction of the bridge which crosses Santiago <br />Creek. Figure 3 graphically identifies the three anticipated stages of project <br />construction. <br />This environmental document will assess the need for the proposed improvements <br />and will determine the environmental consequences of the alternative design <br />plans which are under consideration. The document will also suggest mitigation <br />measures which, if incorporated into the design and construction of the project, <br />will wherever possible reduce identified impacts to the degree feasible. <br />Bristol Street serves as a vital north -south transportation link through the City of <br />Santa Ana. Bristol Street is designated as Major Arterial Highway (120 -foot <br />right -of -way) in the Orange County Master Plan of Streets and Highways and is <br />a designated truck route. The existing right -of -way for Bristol Street varies from <br />70 to 115 feet, while curb -to -curb width varies from 58 to 84 feet (See Figure 4 <br />I -1 <br />
