7 <br />'I DKS Associates <br />but due to this increase in traffic volumes, it is anticipated that the following two intersections <br />would warrant a traffic signal. <br />a. Washington Street/Pacific Avenue <br />b. Civic Center Drive/Pacific Avenue <br />The intersection of Pacific Avenue and Santa Ana Boulevard will not, however, be significantly <br />impacted by the proposed additional cul -de -sacs. A peak hour signal warrant analysis was <br />performed for the two intersections of Pacific Avenue with Washington Street and Civic C =enter <br />Drive. Approach volumes were estimated from the turning volumes at the intersections of <br />Bristol Street with Washington Street and Civic Center Drive as are presented below in <br />Table b -1. <br />Table 6 -1 <br />Approach Peak Hour Volumes <br />Future With Specific Plan <br />NB SB EB WB <br />Intersection AM PM AM PM AM PM AM PM <br />Washington Street <br />at Pacific Avenue 257 211 (1) - 300 310 447 727 <br />Civic Center Drive <br />at Pacific Avenue 206 169 257 211 869 829 395 1,142 <br />(3) No SB approach. <br />Figure 6 -1, the peak hour volume warrant, indicates that both intersections will warrant a signal <br />should additional cul- de- sacing at 9th, 10th, I 1 th and 12th Streets be implemented. However, <br />if the intersection of Civic Center Drive at Pacific Avenue is to be signalized, it is possible, as <br />an alternative to the signalization of the intersection of Washington Street/Pacific Avenue, to <br />cul-de -sac Pacific Avenue at Washington Street and divert traffic toward Civic Center Drive. <br />Cul -de- sacing Pacific Avenue will eliminate the signal need at Washington Avenue and preserve <br />the residential character of Pacific Avenue north of Civic Center Drive_ <br />According to the EIS, cross street movements are anticipated to be low and will be lower with <br />the implementation of the Specific Plan. It is anticipated that under no circumstances do <br />motorists have to travel more than two blocks to make a U -turn_ An increase in U -turns was <br />-" taken into account both in the intersection capacity analysis and in designing the storage bay <br />lengths_ <br />28657.P9022_;xO Rpr 33 <br />
