Funds
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Submittal of Request for Time Extension of Measure M2 Comprehensive
Transportation Funding Program for Bristol Street Improvements Phase 3A, Bristol Street
Improvements Phase 4, and Santa Ana Transit Stop Improvements (Project Nos.13-
6792, 11-6741 & 15-6843) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Public Works Agency to request a one-time, two-year time extension of
Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program Construction funds for the
following projects: Bristol Street Improvements Project Phase 3A, Civic Center to
Washington; Bristol Street Improvements Project Phase 4, Warner to St. Andrew; and
Santa Ana Transit Stop Improvements (Project Nos. 13-6792, 11-6741 and 15-6843).
DISCUSSION
Bristol Street is a major north-south transportation facility that is designated as a major
arterial highway in the City’s Circulation Element of the General Plan. Improving the 3.9-
mile Bristol Street segment from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane has been a long-term
priority project that will be constructed in several phases. The project includes
improvements of Bristol Street between Civic Center Drive and Washington Avenue and
Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and Saint Andrew Place. Improvements include
rehabilitation of sidewalks, raised landscaped medians, bike lanes, and widening the
street from two to three lanes in each direction.
In addition, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) conducted a ridership
study and identified the 100 busiest transit stops in Orange County. Thirty-nine of these
locations occur in Santa Ana. Twenty-five of these locations have been determined to be
"high-load", which is defined as a stop where eight or more passengers are waiting to
board for an average of five or more minutes. This project will provide new, upgraded
facilities at these locations, the installation of 35 new bus shelters with integral benches,
trash receptacles, and advertisement panels.
