EXHIBIT 2 <br /> A=COM <br /> The Future Year (2035) turning movements for remaining three intersections <br /> (intersections of Logan Street, SARTC Driveway, and Fuller Street with Santa Ana <br /> Boulevard), not included in the Santa Ana Renaissance Specific Plan, were forecast <br /> similar to the Opening Year (2016) conditions. The 0.5% ambient annual growth rate was <br /> applied coupled with the addition of the cumulative project trip assignment to existing <br /> counts. The future traffic volumes at these three locations were balanced with the <br /> previous four locations to maintain flow consistency through each of the study <br /> intersections. Figure 6 shows the resulting Future Year (2035) AM and PM peak hour <br /> traffic volumes at the study area intersections. <br /> 5.2 Future Year (2035) Geometric Assumptions <br /> To assess Future Year (2035) conditions, geometric improvements as part of the major <br /> projects and plans were assumed to be in place for this analysis. These projects include <br /> the Santa Ana Fixed Guideway (Streetcar) proposal, the SARTC Expansion, and the <br /> Transit Zoning Code. The improvements for each major project/plan, as they relate to the <br /> project, are presented below. <br /> Santa Ana Fixed Guideway (Streetcar) <br /> • As part of the streetcar proposal, the intersection of Santiago Street/Santa Ana <br /> Boulevard would be modified to account for streetcar operations through this <br /> intersection. Therefore, appropriate signal timing adjustments (additional loss time) <br /> were made to reflect operation of the streetcar through this intersection. The <br /> additional loss time was derived based on the time needed for the streetcar to <br /> clear the intersection, averaged over the course of an hour. <br /> SARTC Expansion <br /> • The proposed expansion includes the improvements to Santiago Street/Santa Ana <br /> Boulevard consistent with the streetcar proposal consistent with those listed <br /> above. Additional modifications reflected as part of the grade separation project <br /> include modifications to the existing SARTC driveway at Santa Ana Boulevard, <br /> and modifications to the Fuller-Fruit Street/Santa Ana Boulevard intersection as <br /> the transit center proposes to expand east of the Metrolink tracks. It should be <br /> noted, however, that these modifications would not affect traffic patterns or level of <br /> service results. <br /> Transit Zoning Code EIR <br /> The Future Year (2035) analysis also includes mitigation measures required as part of the <br /> Transit Zoning Code EIR. The following improvements to impacted locations in the Transit <br /> Zoning Code EIR were assumed to be in place for this analysis: <br /> Traffic/Circulation Study—Final May 18,2012 <br />
