First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study <br />February 17, 2026 <br />Page 12 <br />5 <br />5 <br />3 <br />4 <br />Some intersections experience increased delay under lane-reduction scenarios, <br />particularly near freeway ramps; <br />End-to-end travel times increase slightly under the five-lane concept and <br />increase significantly under the four-lane concept; <br />East-side four-lane configuration operates acceptably in both opening and design <br />years; <br />Long-term traffic patterns will be further evaluated in coordination with OCTA to <br />account for potential traffic redistribution. <br />EVALUATION OF CONCEPT BENEFITS <br />Using the goals of this project, input and feedback from the community, and the <br />technical analysis conducted to date, a comparison of the benefits for each concept was <br />developed. The comparison (“Harvey Ball” rating) is based on how each concept <br />improves conditions by mode compared to the existing conditions. The table below <br />summarizes the results of this exercise (full shade = meets goal; not shaded = does not <br />meet goal).
