City of Santa Ana Addendum to the MainPlace Mall Transformation Project Fashion Square Commercial Center Final EIR Bus stops on the east and west sides of Main Street, south of Main Place Drive/Town and Country Road, Bus stops on the east side of Main Street, between City Place Drive and Memory Lane, and Bus stops on the south side of Memory Lane, east of Main Street. In addition, there are several OCTA bus routes that operate 7 days a week on the arterials that are used to access Project site, which include: • OCTA Route 53153X that operates between the City of Anaheim and the City of Irvine via Main Street. • OCTA Route 54 that operates between the City of Garden Grove and the City of Orange via Chapman Avenue. • OCTA Route 56 that operates between the City of Garden Grove and the City of Orange along La Veta Avenue. • OCTA Route 83 that operates between the City of Anaheim and the City of Laguna Hills, traveling along Main Street in the Project vicinity. OCTA Route 453 is a Metrolink Station Route that operates weekdays only between the Orange Transportation Center and St. Joseph's Hospital in the City of Orange, traveling along Main Street in the Project vicinity. These existing bus routes would continue to serve the Project site, providing transportation to people that reside or work on the Project site. In addition, the Specific Plan Design Guidelines include provisions to provide accessibility to transit, which includes: DG - 6 Buildings should be arranged to provide convenient access to transit sto ps. DG - 116 Bike racks, transit shelters, and other transit supportive uses should be easily accessible and deter riders from using pedestrian walkways as riding lanes. The proposed Project would not alter or conflict with existing bus stops and schedules. Therefore, impacts related to OCTA transit services would not occur from the Project. No new impact would occur. Pedestrian Circulation Existing pedestrian access points into the Project site are provided in several locations. Crosswalks are located on Main Street at the signalized intersections, and at Main Place Drive from Bedford Road and the parking areas. A regional trail, Santiago Creek Trail, terminates on the eastern side of Main Street, at the Broadway intersection, which provides bicycle access to the area from the City of Orange. There are currently no sidewalks on Main Place Drive due to the constrained right-of-way. However, walkways exist at the mall entries and the connections with existing parking structures.
