2016 LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM <br />bike lanes, sidewalk, landscaping and medians, <br />as well additional turn lanes and bus turnouts at <br />major intersections. The completed or near <br />completed portions of the project total over 2.5 <br />miles. <br />OCTA has funded construction of the remaining <br />segments between Warner Avenue and 17th <br />Street. However, no funding sources exist for <br />the portion between 17th Street and Elm Street <br />(the north -most half mile), which handles an <br />average of 48,000 vehicles per day. The <br />estimated cost for this segment is $40 million. <br />Depending on future federal funding programs, <br />the City would anticipate a request of up to one <br />half, or $20 million of total project cost. <br />Alton Parkway (Public Works Agency) <br />The City of Santa Ana has been the lead agency <br />in coordinating the design and environmental <br />clearance of the Alton Parkway Grade <br />Separation. Alton is part of the Master Plan of <br />Arterial Highways, and the proposal is to cross <br />over SR -55. The roadway would expand <br />regional connectivity, benefitting mobility and <br />goods movement as well as providing expanded <br />regional and local economic development <br />opportunities, and significant benefits to local <br />Santa Ana businesses located in the fringes of <br />this project. Coordination with neighboring <br />Irvine has been completed. <br />This project's design / environmental phases <br />were previously done but need to be updated <br />per the latest state requirements. This will take <br />an estimated 8-12 months to update. $55 <br />million in construction and right-of-way funding <br />is needed to implement this project. Half of this <br />funding would be requested through the <br />Measure M Regional Capacity Program with the <br />remaining $22.5 million from Federal or other <br />sources. <br />Grand Avenue (Public Works Agency) <br />The City has a project to widen Grand Avenue <br />between 1st Street and 17th Street. The <br />project, similar to Bristol, adds one through lane <br />in each direction, bike lanes, sidewalk, <br />landscaping and medians, as well as additional <br />turn lanes and bus turnouts at major <br />intersections in conformance with OCTA and <br />City plans. The initial 900 -foot segment <br />between 1st Street and 4th Street began <br />construction earlier in 2014. Except for design <br />phase funding, no funding has been identified <br />for the remaining 4,300 feet, estimated to cost <br />$49 million. A Federal $24 million grant to <br />match the anticipated future OCTA Measure M2 <br />funding could cover construction and project <br />delivery. <br />Warner Avenue (Public Works Agency) <br />The City finalized the Environmental Impact <br />Report (EIR) in 2015 to widen Warner Avenue <br />between Main Street and Grand Avenue. The <br />project, similar to Bristol Street and Grand <br />Avenue, adds one through lane in each <br />direction, bike lanes, sidewalk, landscaping and <br />medians, as well as additional turn lanes and <br />bus turnouts at major intersections in <br />conformance with OCTA and City plans. <br />The project's cost is estimated at $60 million for <br />design, right-of-way, and construction phases. <br />OCTA has funded the design phase and a <br />portion of right-of-way for Phase I (Main Street <br />to Oak Street). Staff seeks the remaining <br />funding of $53 million through federal support <br />independently or via OCTA. <br />Fairview Bridge (Public Works Agency) <br />Fairview Street is planned for three lanes in <br />each direction on the City's General Plan and <br />OCTA's Master Plan of Arterial Highways. <br />However, because the Fairview Bridge over <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />14 <br />65A-17 <br />
