Project Description <br />The proposed Bristol Street Specific Plan entails upgrading land uses along a corridor centered <br />around Bristol Street from Memory Lane to Warner Avenue in the City of Santa Ana. The <br />upgrading is predominantly comprised of developing parks along Bristol Street accompanied with <br />some new commercial and mixed -use redevelopment projects. The main concept of the Bristol <br />Street Specific Plan is to strengthen commercial nodes, repackage Specific Plan parcels and to <br />accentuate Bristol Street with trees and various landscaping. The focal point of this study is to <br />consider this Specific Plan along with the approved Bristol Street widening project to account <br />for the net change in traffic volume generated in comparison to the General Plan. <br />2.1 BRISTOL STREET WIDENING PROJECT <br />The proposed Bristol Street widening to a six -lane divided major arterial as submitted in the <br />final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been previously approved for implementation. <br />Recommended improvements under the EIS are: <br />1.

Prohibit U -turns and provide right -turn overlaps with left -turn phasing at the intersection <br />of Bristol Street with Memory Lane and 17th Street. <br />4. Provide protected left -turn phasing in all directions of the intersection along Bristol Street <br />at Memory Lane, 17th Street, First Street, Edinger Avenue and Warner Avenue_ Provide <br />f protected left -turn phasing on Bristol Street in the north -south direction at the Bishop <br />Street/Willits Street and the McFadden Avenue intersection. <br />5.
