Senior Civil Engineer City of Santa Ana (714) 647 -5632 Project Location: Bristol Street from Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue in the City of Santa Ana. Project Sponsor's Name and Address: City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, M -36 Santa Ana, CA 92702 General Plan Designation: General Commercial (GC) Zoning: Specific Plan (SPI) Description of Project: The City of Santa Ana is proposing to widen the Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue from four lanes to six lanes with a 128 -foot wide right-of-way cross section including a 14 -foot wide raised landscaped median; three 12 -foot wide through travel lanes in each direction; a 7 -foot wide Class II bike lane on each side of the roadway; a 6 -foot wide parkway; and 8 -foot wide sidewalks with curb ramps for wheelchair access (pursuant to American with Disabilities Act of 1990 [ADA] requirements) on both sides of the roadway. As Bristol Street approaches the intersections, the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate right -turn pockets and left -turn lanes in each direction. The proposed Project also includes the addition of a westbound right -turn lane on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street and removal of the eastbound through movement on Washington Avenue at Bristol Street to match the existing condition. Furthermore, a cul- de-sac would be constructed at 9th Street on the west side of Bristol Street. The proposed Project would also install an approximately 8 -foot- high block wall at approximately the same location where the soundwall was previously recommended (as addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR). The widening would require fall acquisitions of 20 parcels fronting Bristol Street as detailed in Table 1 (Property Acquisitions) of this Addendum. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The Project site is located within a fully developed urban area within the City of Santa Ana. Areas surrounding the Project site consist of various urban uses such as single- and multi - family residences and commercial and retail uses.
