The entrance shall be integrated with the new public roadway planned around the site to link with Bedford Road, the freeway ramps and Broadway/Owens Drive. The signalized entrance shall be modified to include separate left turn phasing. B. Provide sufficient funding for the reconstruction of the median island on Town and Country Road to include a separate westbound left turn lane. The existing median is a wide landscaped island with no separate turning lane. Fashion Square will be the primary beneficiary of this reconstruction even though the new westbound left turn lane is not intended to directly serve Fashion Square traffic. Widening of the Main Street Entrance will mitigate the effect of increased traffic (primarily east -west direction) created by expansion of the shopping center.

In order to facilitate access to Fashion Square from the Rte. 57 Freeway a traffic signal will be needed on Bristol Street/La Veta at the off -ramp location. Presently, this intersection is controlled only by stop signs and a left turn from the off -ramp to La Veta Avenue involves considerable delay. This off -ramp provides a convenient route to Fashion Square and allows southbound freeway traffic to avoid congestion encountered at the I- 5/57/22 Interchange. To promote use of this alternative access, especially by commuters, signalization of two intersections is necessary. One location, Bristol/La Veta at the Freeway off -ramp is under the jurisdiction of the State and the other intersection, La Veta/Bedford is the responsibility of the City of Orange. MM 5.6-7: Develop and maintain an aggressive Transportation Systems Ongoing and Management (TSM) Program designed to maximize use of transit and applicable.
