DISCUSSION
Warner Avenue is classified as an East-West Major Arterial in the City's General Plan
Circulation Element and the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways.
Improving the one -mile segment of Warner Avenue from Main Street to Wright Street has
been a long-term priority project that is being constructed in several phases.
Improvements include widening the street from a four -lane roadway to a six -lane arterial
to address safety issues and provide adequate vehicular capacity; and installing
parkways, raised median landscaping, storm drains, protected bike lanes, sound walls,
street lights, and traffic signals. The City is acquiring properties for the development of
Phase 2 of the Warner Avenue Improvements project, bounded by Oak Street and Grand
Avenue. Construction is anticipated to begin in winter 2021.
The proposed improvements for the project originated as a mitigation measure for the Tustin
Legacy project, which involves the redevelopment of the former Tustin Marine Corps Air
Station as a mixed -use commercial, residential, and industrial project. As a mitigation
