ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements —Project No. 17-6883 1.4.3 CHANGES AS COMPARED TO THE APPROVED PROJECT It should be noted that Project phasing has been revised from the original phases identified in the 1990 FEIS/EIR. As discussed in Section 1.3.1 Approved 1990 Final FIR/FIS. construction phasing of the entire Bristol Street Widening Project has been further subdivided as follows: • SL Andrew Place to McFadden Avenue(Constructed in 2002); • Elm Street to Memory Lane (Constructed in 2003); • Pine Street to 3`a Street (Constructed in 2009); • Phase I: McFadden Avenue to Pine Street (Constructed in 20111); • Phase II: 3`6 Street to Civic Center Drive (Constructed in 2014); • PhaseIIIA: Civic Center Drive to Washington Avenue; • Phase 11113: Washington Avenue to 17a Street hinder construction); • Phase IV Warner Avenue to St Andrew Place; and • Phase V: 17v' Street to Elm Street The proposed intersection improvements (proposed Project addressed herein) differs from the original configuration of the 1990 FEIS/IIR, as follows: • As shown on Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 5 Bristol S/reetl1kmory Lane Intersection Confleurrdion (1990 FEISIEIR), the original approved 1990 FEIS/EIR proposed the same intersection lane configuration as that proposed. As shown on Exhibit 5, the 1990 FEIS/EIR considered a 117 -foot ROW width in order to accommodate the additional third through lane, specifically for the southbound travel lane However, no specific take of adjoining properties was acknowledged although the existing ROW is only 100 feet Thus, the Project changes clarify that in order to accommodate a third -through lane, the Project requires to widen the existing street ROW width of 100 feet to 111 feet, with the street section width from 84 feet to 95 feet, and the partial acquisition of three properties. Although the proposed lane configuration was analyzed in the 1990 FE IR, necessary partial ROW acquisition to accommodate this configuration was not considered. Proposed ROW acquisition would be required on the west side of Bristol Street, north of the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane. As depicted on Exhibit 5 Nese Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) include 002-261-06, -29, and -30. Areas of proposed ROW acquisition consist of vacant land, omamental landscaping and areas of paved driveway; no modification/demolition of habitable structures would be required as part of these new partial acquisitions to accommodate the Project The Project would also accommodate a bike lane and relocate the existing perimeter fencing along Bristol Street and may include an extension of the existing stomp water pipeline system (located on the eastem side of Bristol Street) through a new lateral connection and new catch basin at the Project site An assessment of construction and Project -related GHG emissions and potential impacts to tribal cultural resources was also not addressed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, and as a result is addressed in this Addendum. 1.4.4 CONSTRUCTION TIMEFRAME Construction activities associated with the proposed Project would occur following acquisition of the required parcels. The Project proposes a 12 -month construction period (anticipated to be completed by December 2019). However, it is acknowledged that the Project could be constructed in multiple phases, depending on funding. 1 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 Widening Project.
