Public Hearing Meeting No. 2 <br />Response PH2 -1 — Peter Katz <br />The general support for the proposed project was forwarded to the decision makers for <br />consideration. The comment is not directly related to the content or adequacy of the EA /DEIR, <br />and no further response is necessary. <br />Response PH2 -2 — Ruby Woo <br />Detailed design specifications for the shelters, the park- and -ride lot, and landscaping have not <br />been developed at this stage of the planning process. Streetcar stations were discussed on <br />page 2 -13 of the EA /DEIR. The stations for the build alternatives will be located curbside <br />adjacent to the platforms within the public right -of -way. They will consist of a shelter <br />constructed substantially of transparent materials. In addition to seating, the stations will <br />provide traveler information such as estimates of next train arrival time. The design concerns <br />have been forwarded to the decision makers for consideration. The project would adhere to <br />local established building and landscaping standards to ensure that the project is visually <br />consistent with the existing surroundings. <br />Response PH2 -3 — Unknown Speaker <br />As stated on page 3 -197 of the EA /DEIR, the construction period is anticipated to be <br />approximately 30 months, with major activities to be completed within the first 24 -month period. <br />Response PH2 -4 — Unknown Speaker <br />As stated on page 3 -197 of the EA /DEIR, the construction period is anticipated to be <br />approximately 30 months, with major activities to be completed within the first 24 -month <br />period. The duration of concentrated construction activities would be no more than six months <br />at any given location along the alignment. <br />As stated on page 3 -202 of the EA /DEIR, access to businesses would be maintained during <br />operating hours. In addition, the second sentence in the second to last paragraph on page 3- <br />202 of the EA /DEIR has been revised to state that signage would be posted to alert customers <br />that businesses are open during construction and wayfinding to businesses whose access is <br />disrupted. Signs would also be posted alerting nearby businesses of temporary lane reductions, <br />weekend or nighttime closures, and /or detours. As stated on pages 3 -218 and 3 -219 of the <br />EA /DEIR include a Traffic Management Plan and a Noise and Vibration Control Plan to reduce <br />construction effects. <br />Upon completion of project construction, the build alternatives would allow improved access to <br />Downtown Santa Ana and other high- intensity areas of employment, commercial development, <br />and recreational opportunities. Improved transportation service would enhance visibility and <br />access to existing economic activity centers, including those businesses that would be temporarily <br />affected by project construction and areas targeted for redevelopment. <br />Santa Ana Garden Grove Fixed Guideway Project REAIFEIR <br />January 2015 <br />75A -268 <br />Pagol210 <br />
