ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTADDENDUM Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV) 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2.1 Background Project Title: Bristol Street Widening Phase IV Project Lead Agency Name and Address: City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, M -36 Santa Ana, CA 92702 Contact Person and Phone Number: Kenny Nguyen, P.E. Senior Civil Engineer City of Santa Ana (714) 647 -5632 Project Location: Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place 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), Low Density Residential (LR -7), Open Space (OS), Park with Commercial (P /C) Zoning: Specific Plan (SP1), General Commercial (C -2), Single Family Residential (RI), Two Family Residential (R2) Description of Project: The City of Santa Ana is proposing to widen the Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place as part of the previously approved Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane Project, for which an EIS/EIR was certified in 1990. The Build Alternative involves the widening of Bristol Street (between Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place) from 4 lanes to 6 lanes with a 150 -foot wide right -of -way cross section including a 14 -foot wide raised landscaped median; 3 12 -foot wide through travel lanes in each direction; a 7 -foot wide Class II bike lane on each side of the roadway; a 15 -foot wide parkway, and 10 -foot sidewalk with curb ramps for wheelchair access pursuant to ADA requirements on both sides of the roadway. As Bristol Street approaches the intersections between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place, and between Warner Avenue and Glenwood Place, the landscaped center median would taper to accommodate right -turn pockets and left -turn lanes in each direction. The landscaped center median would then continue north of the Glenwood Place intersection to match the existing raised center median approximately 380 feet south of Edinger Avenue. The addition of the landscaped center median would improve safety by preventing left -turn access to /from Saint Gertrude Place, Saint Anne Place, Camden Place, and Carlton Place to the newly widened Bristol Street. (Note: the intersection of Bristol Street and Saint Andrew Place would be converted to a right -turn only intersection in both directions.) Additionally, cul-de-sacs would be included on the west side of Bristol Street at Saint Anne Place, Camden Place, and Carlton Place to improve safety by preventing access to /from these streets to the newly widened Bristol Street.
