None of the above mentioned freeways cross the proposed <br />project area. <br />MpVl Yv e vt ry wvre D a�td iLLlt µL�h <br />County Transit District (OCTD). The proposed project area is served by bus <br />routes 49, 56 and 57. Currently, there are 40 bus stops located within the <br />proposed project area, 20 northbound and 20 southbound. Total passenger <br />activity for the month of January, 1987, was approximately 2,938 persons <br />northbound and 2,977 persons southbound. <br />Rail transit in the City of Santa Ana is provided by two major railroad <br />companies. These companies include the AChison Topeka and Santa Fe <br />(AT &SF) railroad and the Southern Pacific (SP) railroad. The following is a <br />brief discussion of each of the above mentioned railroads. <br />1. The Southern Pacific Railroad - enters the City of Santa Ana (north of <br />the project area) at the Santa Ana River, passes through the City of <br />Santa-Ana Regional Transportation Center (located at 10Q0 E. Santa <br />Ana Boulevard) and continues in a southerly direction to approximately <br />Adams Street, then continues southwesterly across Bristol Street (south <br />of the project area) along Alton Avenue and continues south to the City <br />limits. Daily operation includes three (3) freight trains and two (2) <br />road switchers. <br />2. Achison Topeka and Santa Fe - enters the City of Santa Ana (northeast <br />of the project area) at Santiago Park, continues south `and passes <br />through the City of Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center and <br />continues in a south - southeasterly direction to the City limits. Daily <br />operation includes two (2) road switchers (who handle industrial <br />switching), two (2) freight trains, and 14 Amtrak passenger trains (7 <br />northbound and 7 southbound). <br />The Santa Ana Regional Transportation Facility (RTC), located at 1000 East <br />Santa Ana Boulevard, offers a wide variety of transportation services. The <br />Center combines Amtrak rail, Orange County Transit District bus service, <br />Greyhound and Trailways inter -city and interstate bus transportation, Camino <br />Real Express bus service between Orange County and Tijuana Airport, Luxe <br />Livery airport shuttle and limousine and taxi services. <br />The Circulation Element of the City of Santa Ana General Plan does not show <br />an existing or proposed bicycle trail along Bristol Street, within the proposed <br />project area. However, the Element includes a proposed on- street bike path <br />along Edinger Avenue. This path has not been constructed and is no longer <br />being considered because of a change in City policy. When the Circulation <br />Element is updated, the Edinger Avenue bike path designation will be <br />removed. <br />There is minimal bicycle use on Bristol Street, due to the existing traffic <br />congestion. <br />75C uJ_A4 <br />
