EXHIBIT 2 <br /> A=COM <br /> Code would maintain acceptable LOS at the intersections of Santiago Street/Civic Center <br /> Drive, Santiago Street/Santa Ana Boulevard, and Grand Avenue/Santa Ana Boulevard <br /> under future conditions. <br /> As mentioned previously, the Fuller Street/Santa Ana Boulevard intersection would not <br /> meet the peak hour warrant for a traffic signal (Warrant 3, Peak Hour, CA MUTCD, 2009) <br /> under Existing, Opening Year (2016) and Future Year 2035 conditions. <br /> 6.0 PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS <br /> The project proposes to grade-separate the existing Santa Ana Boulevard/OCTA <br /> Metrolink at-grade crossing between Logan Street and Fuller Street. The associated <br /> project improvements extend along Santa Ana Boulevard from approximately Santiago <br /> Street at the west end to the west side of the Interstate 5 (1-5) southbound off-ramp <br /> intersection with Santa Ana Boulevard. As part of the grade separation, the proposed <br /> project includes the following improvements: <br /> • Termination of Logan Street north of Santa Ana Boulevard via construction of a <br /> cul-de-sac; and, <br /> • Restripe Fuller Street, both north and south of Santa Ana Boulevard to provide one <br /> shared through-left and one exclusive right turn lane (de facto right turn lane) while <br /> maintaining the unsignalized traffic control. <br /> The project also proposes a minor reconfiguration of the Santiago Street/Santa Ana <br /> Boulevard intersection, but would not affect traffic operations or capacity. However, due to <br /> the proposed termination of Logan Street as part of the project, traffic would be diverted to <br /> alternate routes, as described below. No other reassignments or rerouting of vehicular <br /> traffic would be required with the project, and the grade separation itself is not anticipated <br /> to increase traffic demand along Santa Ana Boulevard <br /> 6.1 Traffic Diversion Due to Termination of Logan Street <br /> North of Santa Ana Boulevard <br /> With the existing configuration of Logan Street, vehicles enter (approximately 8 vehicles in <br /> the weekday AM peak hour and 8 vehicles in the weekday PM peak hour) and exit <br /> (approximately 21 vehicles in the weekday AM peak hour and weekday 14 vehicles in the <br /> PM peak hour) Logan Street from/to Santa Ana Boulevard via a right-turn in/out only <br /> operation (i.e., access to and from Logan Street is allowed via westbound Santa Ana <br /> Boulevard only). With the termination of Logan Street with the project, these volumes <br /> (vehicles making a westbound right from Santa Ana Boulevard to Logan Street and a <br /> southbound right from Logan Street to Santa Ana Boulevard) would need to be <br /> reassigned to alternative routes. <br /> As no connections to Logan Street and the adjacent roadways are available from further <br /> east on Santa Ana Boulevard (due to the presence of the railroad right of way), all <br /> vehicular access would be via Santiago Street. Therefore, vehicles previously making a <br /> right-turn into Logan Street from Santa Ana Boulevard would need to reroute to make a <br /> Traffic/Circulation Study—Final May 18,2012 <br /> Page 24 <br />
