ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM Bristol Street Widening Proiect Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV) 1.4.3 Changes as Compared to the Approved Project It should be noted that project phasing has been revised from the original three phases identified in thel990 Final EIS /EIR. Construction phasing of the entire project segment has been further subdivided as follows: • St. Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue (Constructed in 2002) • Elm Street to Memory Lane (Constructed in 2003) • Pine Street to 3`d Street (Constructed in 2009) • Phase I: McFadden Avenue to Pine Street (Constructed in 2011)' • Phase IL• 3`d Street to Civic Center Drive (Construction to be completed in 2014) • Phase IIIA: Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue • Phase IIIB: Washington Avenue to 17 "' Street • Phase IV: Warner Avenue to St. Andrew Place • Phase V: 17`1i Street to Elm Street The proposed street widening design configuration for the current Phase IV segment differs from the original configuration of the 1990 Final EIS /EIR, as follows: • The proposed Project increases the total right -of -way width from 120 feet to 128 feet. The proposed Project right -of -way cross - section would maintain a curb -to -curb width of 100 feet, would accommodate a 7 -foot wide bike lane on each side of the roadway, and would not affect the number or width of vehicular travel lanes as compared to the right -of -way cross - section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR. However, the proposed Project right -of -way cross section, as compared to the right - of -way cross section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR, would reduce the width of the sidewalks from 10 to 8 feet and also accommodate a 6 -foot wide parkway on each side of Bristol Street to separate pedestrian and vehicular travel; a parkway was not included as part of the roadway cross section addressed in the 1990 FEIS /EIR. Acquisition of property resulting from the proposed Project right - of -way is accounted for in this analysis. • The centerline alignment has been shifted to the west starting at St. Gertrude instead of starting at Glenwood Place with the addition of 4 -feet to the original 20 -foot shift. The street centerline then shifted back 4 -feet to the east at St. Andrew in order to match the existing centerline north of St. Andrew. By shifting the centerline at St. Gertrude, the Phase IV Project saved eight parcels from full take by reducing these parcels to partial acquisitions. • A bus turnout would be located at the Warner Avenue. • Change right -of -way requirement from full take to partial take of the following single - family residential parcels: 015 - 215 -10 (150 square feet), 015- 215 -11 (50 square feet), 015- 214 -10 (50 square feet), 015- 234 -10 (50 square feet), 015- 233 -11 (50 square feet), 015- 233 -10 (50 square feet), 015- 232 -11 (50 square feet), and (015- 232 -10 (50 square feet). I Phase numbers were assigned to the Bristol Street Widening Project subsequent to cancelation of the CenterLine Light Rail Transit Project and associated reallocation of funding from that canceled project to the Bristol Street ANA 305494 (PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133867 YU 15
