2017 LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM <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 <br />(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 and was completed <br />in 2015. Except for design phase funding, no <br />funding has been identified for the remaining <br />4,300 feet, estimated to cost $49 million. A <br />Federal $24 million grant to match the <br />anticipated future OCTA Measure M2 funding <br />could cover construction and project delivery. <br />Warner Avenue <br />(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. The <br />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 <br />(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 />Santa Ana River is only about 50 feet wide, the <br />roadway can accommodate only two lanes in <br />each direction. Further, the bridge lacks <br />separated sidewalks and the barrier rail does <br />not meet current standards. For a similar <br />project (First Street Bridge), the City received <br />Federal funding to cover half the cost to replace <br />and widen the bridge. For the Fairview Bridge, <br />the cost is conceptually estimated at about $14 <br />million, 88.53% of which could be requested <br />through the Federal Highway Bridge <br />Replacement and Rehabilitation program with <br />matching funds requested through OCTA <br />Measure M2. To receive federal funding, the <br />segment would need to be cleared under the <br />National Environmental Policy Act. <br />GOAL 7: TEAM SANTA ANA <br />The City continues to face increasing demands for service <br />with limited resources. This challenge provides an <br />opportunity for the organization to become innovative <br />and efficient in the delivery of City Services. Success in this <br />effort requires that the City retain and attract <br />experienced, motivated employees who are committed to <br />engaging and serving the community. Additionally, <br />improving interdepartmental and community lines of <br />communication will ensure greater transparency and <br />community engagement. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />14 <br />65B -20 <br />
