In that approach, automobile delay minutes are used to measure the <br />level of service and project success. Changes are needed to balance pedestrian safety interests <br />with car travel. <br />We need a focus in Santa Ana that makes maximizing pedestrian safety a priority in every project. <br />https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/safety-studiesZDocuments/SiRl803.pd <br />4. Why have effects of side -by -side turn pockets on Main Street not been disclosed, discussed, or <br />thoroughly studied in development documents? <br />• The width of Main Street at this point is 89.22 feet, per ESRI measurement. <br />• The turn pockets do not fit without significant compromises to Main Street. <br />The plan must either: <br />• Widen Main Street to take up 8 feet of the sidewalk in front of Discovery Cube <br />o If this is the plan, has the Discovery Cube agreed to this? <br />o How will the Discovery Cube's emergency exit on Main Street fit when the sidewalk is <br />right up against the building? <br />• Narrow each traffic lane from over 12 feet down to 11.15 feet. <br />o Six lanes of traffic, one turn pocket, and a protective median of one lane width equals a lane <br />width of 11.15 feet. <br />o This narrowing is comparable to the `Road Diet' on Harbor Blvd., south of V Street. <br />o If this is the intention, has the slowing of traffic due to the narrowing of lanes been factored <br />into the traffic flow (LOS) studies? <br />
