<br />City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Corridor <br />Technical Memorandum <br /> <br />46 <br /> <br />West Side and East Side Concepts <br />Due to planned projects along First Street, the corridor was divided into a west side and an <br />east side when developing concepts . The west side extends from Bristol Street to Zoo Lane, <br />which aligns with the Caltrans right-of-way. The east side extends from Zoo Lane over the I- <br />5 freeway to Tustin Avenue. <br />Caltrans has developed concept plans for First Street as part of the Freeway Ramp Active <br />Mobility Enhancement Study (FRAMES ), illustrated in Figure 25. Concepts illustrated in this <br />technical memorandum reflect the recommendations in that report. However, the City is <br />currently working with Caltrans to identify alternative solutions that align with the concepts <br />for the west side of the corridor. Modifications to this section may be proposed based on the <br />ongoing coordination with Caltrans and the locally preferred alternative for this project. <br />Figure 25. Recommendations in Caltrans FRAMES <br /> <br />Source: Caltrans , February 2024. Freeway Ramp Active Mobility Enhancement Study (FRAMES). <br /> <br />Based on traffic volumes for the existing and future conditions east of I-5, the concept <br />developed for the east side of the corridor assumes the four-lane condition. Narrowing the <br />road to widen the sidewalks builds upon the Public Realm Plan for this area by extending the <br />curb to construct 17’ to 20’ wide pedestrian zones . This allows additional improvements <br />within the pedestrian and bicycle zones as described later in this section and is consistent <br />with the City’s Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay Zone. <br />A complete set of conc eptual layouts for the three West Side and the one East Side concept <br />is provided as an attachment to this technical memorandum. <br /> <br />
