EXHIBIT 2 <br /> �OAA Santa Ana Boulevarei <br /> A <br /> /�iZ M r-!­1e Separation Projen <br /> 11.3 Future Year (2035) Rail-Highway Traffic Conditions <br /> 11.3.1 RAIL-HIGHWAY GRADE CROSSING DELAY <br /> Grade crossing blockage time and delay was determined based on a maximum of 10 <br /> trains per hour during each of the peak hours, 105 trains per day and a train speed of 66 <br /> feet per second (fps), or 45 miles per hour (mph). <br /> Table 17-1 Future Year (2035) Rail-Highway Grade Crossing Delay Analysis <br /> Daily Delay AM Peak Delay PM Peak Delay <br /> Train Frequency (minutes/vehicle) (minutes/vehicle) (minutes/vehicle <br /> 105 trains per day 0.20 <br /> 8/10 (AM/PM) trains <br /> per hour 0.43 0.48 <br /> As shown in Table 17-1, the highest existing peak hour delay occurs during the PM peak <br /> hour where the delay is approximately 29 seconds per vehicle during the peak hour (0.48 <br /> minutes/vehicle = 29 seconds per vehicle). On average, there would be approximately 12 <br /> seconds delay per vehicle on a 24-hour period. The rail-highway delay calculations are <br /> provided in Appendix K. <br /> 11.3.2 RAIL-HIGHWAY GRADE CROSSING SAFETY ANALYSIS <br /> A hazard index was determined for the Santa Ana Boulevard grade crossing under Future <br /> Year (2035) conditions. The hazard index is based on 66 trains per day and an arterial <br /> roadway segment ADT volume of 30,916. Table 18-1 summarizes the current hazard <br /> index for Future Year (2035) conditions and the safety calculations are provided in <br /> Appendix L. <br /> Table 18-1 Future Year(2035) Rail-Highway Grade Crossing Safety Analysis <br /> Train Volume ADT Volume <br /> (trains/day) (vehicles/day) Hazard Index <br /> 105 30,916 357 <br /> Traffic/Circulation Study—Final May 18,2012 <br /> Page 37 <br />
