Response PH3 -6 — Saul O'Campo Regarding safety, concrete barriers with fencing would be placed around the perimeter of construction areas to restrict access and eliminate the threat to safety and security of anyone not directly involved in construction activity. Construction activity would occur in front of Spurgeon Intermediate School, Romero Cruz Elementary School, George Washington Carver Elementary School, and James Garfield Elementary School. Construction zones near schools require additional considerations to ensure the safety of students and staff and promote vehicle awareness. The City of Santa Ana would coordinate with the Santa Ana Unified School District and Santa Ana Police Department to develop and implement a construction traffic safety plan, as identified in Mitigation Measure SAF1 on page 3 -196 of the EA /DEIR, at schools adjacent to the alignment. Precautionary safety features would, as a minimum, include signs, barriers, and crossing and traffic signals to create a safe environment for parents and students during pick -up /drop -off times, as well as the education plan to increase the construction and safety awareness for students and parents. The construction zone would typically be limited between two- and four -block segments. North - south traffic could experience detours or inconveniences from lane reductions, nighttime or weekend closures, and detours. In addition, daytime construction activity in major intersections would occur in increments to avoid complete intersection closure. Accordingly, impacts to direct routes to and from institutional uses would be temporary and occur for a relatively short period. Therefore, the City would not provide transportation for students around the construction zone. Response PH3 -7 — Raul Yanez See Response PH3 -1 related to construction vibration and historic properties. PH1 -2(1) related to a general discussion of construction activities. Response P113 -8 — Madeleine Spencer See Response PH1 -1 related to community outreach and distribution of notices. Response PH3 -9 — Unknown Speaker Section 3.10 in Table 3.10 -6 on page 3 -127 of the EA /DEIR includes a detailed parking analysis which includes a discussion of parking loss outside the Downtown area. The alignment outside the Downtown area, west of Flower Street to Raitt Street would be the same for all of the build alternatives. No parking loss would occur west of Raitt Street or to the east of the Downtown area. As shown in the following table, 53 percent of street parking would be removed along Santa Ana Boulevard between Raitt and Flower Streets.
