Monthly CIP Executive Report for February 2018 <br />March 6, 2018 <br />Page 3 <br />OC Superblock <br />The County of Orange is in the process of redeveloping the Superblock bounded by Santa Ana <br />Boulevard, Ross Street, Civic Center Drive and Broadway. The first of four phases of the project <br />is the replacement of Building 16 at the north east corner of Santa Ana Boulevard and Ross <br />Street, which had been vacant for decades. The County began demolition of the Building 16 in <br />January of 2017, has completed excavation and is currently building the foundation and structural <br />columns for the new building. <br />As part of the project, the County will be making public improvements adjacent to the new <br />building, on Ross Street between Santa Ana Boulevard and Civic Center Drive. Public <br />improvements will include asphalt paving on Ross Street between Santa Ana Boulevard and <br />Civic Center Drive. The street will be narrowed, existing striping will be replaced, and new bike <br />lanes will be installed on both sides of Ross Street. The new striping will also create parallel <br />parking stalls, which will replace the existing angled stalls. Decorative sidewalk, street trees, and <br />street lights will be placed along the east side of Ross Street, and on the north side of Santa Ana <br />Boulevard. Improvements will also include new or upgrades to storm drains, sewers and water <br />mains. The County has processed a Voluntary Lot Merger to consolidated parcels, and intends <br />to reconfigure parcels through the City's Tentative and Final Parcel Map processes. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />This item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, Engagement <br />& Sustainability, Objective #1 (establish a comprehensive community engagement initiative to <br />expand access to information and create opportunities for stakeholders to play an active role in <br />discussing public policy and setting priorities). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. <br />Edwin "William" Galve , P.E. <br />Acting Executive Director <br />Public Works Agency <br />Exhibit 1: CIP — Executive Summary Schedule <br />19C-3 <br />
