In order to provide information on land uses north of Memory Lane, Exhibit 3 als❑ identifies these current land uses.

As a result of signifi.cant growth and traffic congestion on Bristol Street, the City of Santa Ana, in the late 1980s, proposed to widen Bristol Street from a four -lane roadway to a six -lane arterial in accordance with adopted County of Orange and City of Santa Ana standards for a Major Arterial Highway. A joint EIS/EIR was prepared and approved by the City of Santa Ana and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the widening of Bristol Street in 1990. The 1990 Bristol Street Widening Project entailed a 3.9-mile segment of Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane. The Project site is situated within the northern -most portion of Bristol Street, previously analyzed in the 1990 FEISIEIR as the segment from Seventeenth Street to Memory Lane. However, due to significant costs associated with construction and availability of funding, the Bristol Street Widening Project was divided into multiple segments and phases, compared to that analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR: ■ Phase I, from McFadden Avenue to Pine Street; ■ Phase II, from 316 Streetto Civic Center; ■ Phase IIIA, from Civic Center to Washington Avenue; ■ Phase IIIB, from Washington Avenue to 17a' Street; and ■ Phase IV, from Warner Avenue to St Andrew Place. The Bristol Street Widening segments operate independently; operation of one segment is not dependent on another. It is acknowledged that prior to dividing the Bristol Street Widening Project for funding purposes, construction of some sections was completed and was not included in the phasing described above, including the following: • St Andrew PIace to McFadden Avenue; • Elm Street to Memory Lane, and ■ Pine Street to 31d Street. The segment between 17a' Street and Elm Street is not funded;. therefore, no phasing has been identified. Final I December 2017 1-6 Introduction
