I SUMMARY AND PROJECT DATA A. Purpose of Study The purpose of this study is to provide the California Department of Transportation, the City of Santa Ana and the general public with information as to displacement effects/ relocation resources related to the proposed widening of Bristol Street, in the City of Santa Ana. B. Limits and Purpose of Project The purpose of the subject project is to improve the flow of local and through traffic along Bristol Street, between Warner Avenue and Memory Lane, covering a distance of approximately 3.9 miles. (See Figure 1, following.) C. Corridor and Alignments Studied 1. Number of alternatives studied: 4 a. Alternative 1 = Widening on both sides of Bristol, to achieve 120' right -of -way. b. Alternative 2 = Widen along east side only, to achieve a 120' right -of -way. c. Alternative 3 = Widen along west side only, to achieve a 120' right -of -way. d. Alternative 4 = No Project 2. Is there a "core" corridor common to all alternatives? Yes -- The present Bristol Street right -of -way and a depth of one parcel along both sides of the street, throughout the project corridor. 3. Comments: Widening alternatives would also include additional spot widening at several intersections, affecting all legs, to accommodate special features such as bus turn -outs, left turns only, and right -turn only lanes. Also, each alternative would realign Bristol Street to the west to avoid any widening along the frontage of the Santiago Elementary School site. The entire corridor lies within the City of Santa Ana. D. Character of Displacement Area 1. Location in Relation to General Community: Subject segment of Bristol Street runs north and south, roughly in the center of the City, and is one of the most utilized north -south arterial corridors in the City. Bristol Street connects with the Garden Grove freeway (State Highway 22) just north of the project area. 006710 -1-
