2017 LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM <br />turnouts at major intersections in conformance <br />with OCTA and City plans. The initial 900 -foot <br />segment between 1st Street and 4th Street <br />began construction earlier in 2014 and was <br />completed in 2015. Except for design phase <br />funding, no funding has been identified for the <br />remaining 4,300 feet, estimated to cost $49 <br />million. A Federal $24 million grant to match the <br />anticipated future OCTA Measure M2 funding <br />could cover construction and project delivery. <br />(PWA) The initial 900 -foot segment between 1st <br />Street and 4th Street was completed in 2015. The <br />design of the remaining segment from 4th Street <br />to 17th Street was completed in 2017. The Public <br />Works Agency will continue to seek grant funding <br />for the project. <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 direction, <br />bike lanes, sidewalk, landscaping and medians, as <br />well as additional turn lanes and bus turnouts at <br />major intersections in conformance with OCTA <br />and City plans. The project's cost is estimated at <br />$60 million for design, right-of-way, and <br />construction phases. OCTA has funded the <br />design phase and a portion of right-of-way for <br />Phase I (Main Street to Oak Street). Staff seeks <br />the remaining funding of $53 million through <br />federal support independently or via OCTA. <br />(PWA) OCTA funded the design phase and a <br />portion of right-of-way for Phase I (Main Street <br />to Oak Street) in April 2017. City of Santa Ana <br />staff submitted the grant applications for the <br />construction funding of Phase 1 and right-of-way <br />funding of Phase 2 to OCTA in October 2017. <br />Fairview Bridge <br />(Public Works Agency) <br />Fairview Street is planned for three lanes in each <br />direction on the City's General Plan and OCTA's <br />Master Plan of Arterial Highways. However, <br />because the Fairview Bridge over Santa Ana River <br />is only about 50 feet wide, the roadway can <br />accommodate only two lanes in each direction. <br />Further, the bridge lacks separated sidewalks and <br />the barrier rail does not meet current standards. <br />For a similar project (First Street Bridge), the City <br />received Federal funding to cover half the cost to <br />replace and widen the bridge. For the Fairview <br />Bridge, the cost is conceptually estimated at <br />about $14 million, 88.53% of which could be <br />requested 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 />(PWA) In Spring 2017, the City received federal <br />Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation <br />(HBRR) funding for the environmental and design <br />phases of the Fairview Street Bridge <br />replacement. The scope of work entails the <br />widening of Fairview Street between 9th Street <br />and 16th Street, including bridge replacement, <br />from a 4 -lane roadway to a 6 -lane arterial and the <br />installation of a raised landscaped median, bike <br />lanes, sidewalks, streetlights, and aesthetic <br />enhancements consisting of decorative barrier <br />rails. Staff will seek funding for the right-of-way <br />and construction phases through federal support <br />independently or via OCTA once the project <br />completes the environmental clearance process <br />according to the National Environmental Policy <br />Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality <br />Act (CEQA) guidelines. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />23 <br />658318UIA <br />5 <br />
