ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements - Project No. 17-6883 would not result in the physical deterioration of recreational facilities. No mitigation measures are required with regards to recreational resources. Impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Refer to Response 3.15(a). The proposed Project does not include, nor would it require, construction or expansion of recreational facilities. Therefore, no adverse physical impact on the environment would occur from such facilities as a result of the proposed Project. No mitigation measures are required. Impacts would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation measures are required. 3.16 TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC This section corresponds with the 1990 FEIS/EIR, Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, Subsection U, Impacts to Transportation Facilities, and Subsection V, Construction Impacts. Would the project: a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non -motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? The proposed Project is consistent with the applicable plans, ordinances and policies establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system as described in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. The widening of Bristol Street was designated in the Orange County Master Plan, and was recommended in the Bristol Street Corridor Study - Final Report, prepared by Mohle, Grover & Associates, dated 1983. It was also recommended in the Arterial Highway Element - Santa Ana Element - Santa Ana Transportation Corridor State II Alternative Analysis, prepared by Parsons, Brinkerhoff, Quade and Douglas, Inc., dated 1983. The proposed Project is also consistent with the recommendation found in the Intercity Liaison Committee - Five -Year Transportation Study Update to 1990, prepared by Basmaciyan-Damell, Inc., dated 1985. Furthermore, the proposed Project would improve traffic operations through the Project corridor. Based on traffic count data provided as part of the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program Call for Projects, prepared by the City of Santa Ana, for the Orange County Transportation Authority, dated October 20, 2016, the existing Level of Service (LOS) at the Bristol Street/Memory Lane intersection is LOS C in the AM Peak Hour and a LOS E during the PM Peak Hour. Upon completion of the proposed Project, the Peak Hour LOS at this intersection would be improved to a LOS B in the AM Peak Hour and a LOS D in the PM Peak Hour. Therefore, the Project would result in an overall beneficial impact pertaining to traffic and would not be greater than that previously analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. Certified 1990 FEIS/EIR Mitigation Measures: No 1990 FEIS/EIR mitigation measures are applicable. Mitigation Measures: No new additional mitigation measures are required. b) Conflict with an applicable congestion managennent program, including, but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency far designated roads or highways?
