Walnut Street, in the amount of <br />$452,000. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Bristol Corridor Specific Plan, approved by the City Council in 1992, <br />includes street improvements on Bristol Street from Pine Street to Third <br />Street. These improvements include widening the street from two to three <br />lanes in each direction, and the addition of a second left-turn, a right <br />turn lane, and bus turn-outs in north and southbound directions. These <br />improvements are needed to improve traffic flow, which is currently <br />operating at an unacceptable level of service. Other benefits of the <br />project include the addition of landscaped medians and parkways, the <br />conversion of overhead utility lines to underground, and the addition of <br />a storm drain system. <br /> <br />The construction of these improvements is estimated to begin in the fall <br />of 2006. To accommodate the widening, it is necessary to acquire the <br />subject property located at 1252 and 1252~ W. Second Street (Exhibit 1). <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed <br />project has been determined to be adequately evaluated in previously <br />prepared Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Assessment EIR <br />No. 89-01 approved by City Council in 1990. <br /> <br />25H-1 <br />
