SAHPS is assuming that, despite the location of the Howe - Waffle House being incorrect in the <br />instances cited above, there would be no acquisition of the existing property at 120 Civic Center 7 -3 <br />Drive West. Is this assumption correct? <br />A second major concern for SAHPS Is the proposed work within the right -of -way for Streetcar <br />Alternative 2. Figure 2 -5 on page 2 -12 ( "Civic Center Drive Bike Lane ") illustrates a section of <br />Civic Center Drive showing the existing traffic lanes and sidewalk dimensions compared with the <br />proposed dimensions adding the streetcar, its platform and bike lanes. <br />Since it is not described, we're not sure where Figure 2 -5 is located. We know it is not a typical <br />section for the stretch of West Civic Center Drive between Main on the east and Sycamore on <br />the west. In that section, the existing public sidewalk on the south side of Civic Center Drive <br />between Main and Sycamore Streets is 8'0' wide. The width of the existing sidewalk on the <br />south side of Civic Center Drive as shown in Figure 2 -5 is 12'0 ". Without further clarification we <br />cannot be certain how the existing right -of -way for the Howe -Waffle House will be affected by <br />Streetcar Alternative 2. <br />7 -4 <br />Also, on page ES -7 of the Executive Summary, the document states, "Streetcar Alternative 2 <br />would require additional right -of -way to accommodate the bicycle lane." Again, it is unciear 7-5 <br />where acquisition of this additional right -of -way would occur. <br />SAHPS is very concerned about how improvements in the right -of -way to accommodate the <br />streetcar alignment and bike lanes would affect the Howe -Waffle House at 120 Civic Center <br />Drive West, and if the acquisition of additional right -of -way would be necessary. Accordingly, 7 -5 <br />SAHPS cannot support Streetcar Alternative 2 without this clarification. <br />In conclusion, SAHPS supports Streetcar Alternative 1 as proposed. We believe it will promote I <br />more visitors to Downtown Santa Ana and reduce current vehicle and parking demands on the 7-7 <br />existing street system. <br />SAHPS appreciates the opportunity to comment on the subject environmental document.
