DISCUSSION The cities of Santa Ana and Tustin have been working cooperatively to widen Edinger Avenue from Ritchey Street to 1400 feet east of Redhill Avenue. The widening is part of the Moulton Parkway Smart Street proj ect and includes a raised median in Edinger Avenue. The Smart Street project environmental impact report (EIR) had originally included an opening in the median at Boyd Street to accommodate westbound left turns and northbound left turns. However, in order to reduce the potential for accidents, staff later determined the need to construct the median without an opening at Boyd Street (Exhibit 1). Since the scope of work in the EIR included a median opening at Boyd Street, it is now necessary to approve and adopt a negative declaration to close the median. The portion of the Edinger Avenue median at Boyd Street is the subject of Negative Declaration ER-2004-215. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Negative Declaration, E.R. No. 2004-215 has been prepared for this project. 23F-1 Negative Declaration of Edinger Avenue Median at Boyd Street March 21, 2005 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds for the project are available in account no. 992-631-6631, project no. 2585.
