City of Santa Ana <br />MainPlace Mall Transformation <br />Addendum to the <br />Fashion Square Commercial Center Final EIR <br />MM 5.6-4 Construct a public roadway around the west side of the site from the <br />intersection of Owens Drive/Broadway to Main/Town and Country. This <br />public road shall have a capacity of 16,000 ADT and connect the new <br />freeway ramps with Main Street and Broadway/Owens Drive. This public <br />road will provide an alternative means of access to Fashion Square and <br />allow traffic to virtually avoid use of (and impact upon) Main Street. This <br />new road will provide direct access to/from the 1-5 Freeway in order to <br />relieve pressure at the existing Main Street Interchange. Dedication of the <br />roadway as a public street is required to satisfy CalTrans standards for <br />construction of ramp facilities on public roads. [Status: Completed/not <br />applicable to this Project] <br />MM 5.6-5 A. Provide for redesign and reconstruction of the Main Street Entrance to <br />Fashion Square to accommodate two entry and exit lanes and a left turn <br />pocket. The entrance shall be integrated with the new public roadway <br />planned around the site to link with Bedford Road, the freeway ramps and <br />Broadway/Owens Drive. The signalized entrance shall be modified to <br />include separate left turn phasing. <br />B. Provide sufficient funding for the reconstruction of the median island on <br />Town and Country Road to include a separate westbound left turn lane. <br />The existing median is a wide landscaped island with no separate turning <br />lane. <br />Fashion Square will be the primary beneficiary of this reconstruction even <br />though the new westbound left turn lane is not intended to directly serve <br />Fashion Square traffic. Widening of the Main Street Entrance will mitigate <br />the effect of increased traffic (primarily east -west direction) created by <br />expansion of the shopping center. [Status: Completed/not applicable to <br />this Project] <br />MM 5.6-6 Provide for installation of two new traffic signals on La Veta Avenue at <br />Bedford Road and the off -ramp from the southbound Rte. 57 Freeway. <br />In order to facilitate access to Fashion Square from the Rte. 57 Freeway a <br />traffic signal will be needed on Bedford Road/La Veta at the off -ramp <br />location. Presently, this intersection is controlled only by stop signs and a <br />left turn from the off -ramp to La Veta Avenue involves considerable delay. <br />This off -ramp provides a convenient route to Fashion Square and allows <br />southbound freeway traffic to avoid congestion encountered at the I- <br />5/57/22 Interchange. To promote use of this alternative access, especially <br />by commuters, signalization of two intersections is necessary. One <br />location, Bedford/La Veta at the Freeway off -ramp is under the jurisdiction <br />of the State and the other intersection, La Veta/Bedford is the <br />responsibility of the City of Orange.
