implementation of the improvement measures for these intersections cannot be ensured by the City, particularly because one of the intersections (Irvine Boulevard at SR-55 Northbound Ramps) is located outside of the City's jurisdiction. Therefore, this impact was determined to be considered significant and unavoidable, and the City adopted a statement of overriding considerations. Mitigation Measures MM-OZ 4.12-1 As part of the project, the City of Santa Ana and the project sponsors shall work with the transit providers to implement various transit -related measures to improve and expand bus system service within the Overlay Zone. These measures may include, but are not limited to, the following: • Adding bus stops to the Overlay Zone along existing and proposed roadways • Changing bus service headways to respond to increased demand • Changing bus service destinations to respond to changing demand • Adding local shuttle service for employees and patrons of the Overlay Zone The details of bus service improvements shall be determined in coordination with OCTA. The following recommendations would help encourage public transit patronage for project -related trips: • Bus Stop Locations —Relocation of existing bus stops and the provision of additional bus stops should be considered to accommodate transit users at convenient locations. • Days of Operation —The City should work with OCTA to consider changes to route times to serve nighttime and weekend project visitors and employees. • Headway —The City should work with OCTA to review route headways to determine if it would be appropriate to reduce them to accommodate transit riders within the Overlay Zone. MM-OZ 4.12-2 Future development within the proposed Overlay Zone shall prepare separate traffic studies, specific to the individual projects that are proposed. The traffic studies for future projects shall be prepared by a qualified traffic engineer of the City's choosing.
