o� a ORANGE COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT Dear Mr. Alvarez: SUBJECT: NCP EIR /EIS BRISTOL STREET WIDENING We have reviewed this project as described in the NOP and have the fol- lowing comments: • OCTD presently offers service along the entire project length, as indicated on the attached route maps and schedules, with a number of bus stops within the project area, as shown on Table 1. • As shown on Table 1, OCTD has a number of on- street stops lo- cated in the vicinity of several intersections along the project length. It appears that the mid -block cross sections would be sufficient to accommodate on-- street stops, but our concern is that this travel lane may narrow as it approaches an intersection. If this is the case, turnouts may need to be provided in order to insure smooth traffic flow through these areas. • In order to minimize construction related disruption and delays to the District's fixed route service, the maximum number of lanes should remain open during the widening project. In addi- tion, we would appreciate coordination of the construction period with our Bus Operations staff. Please contact the fol- lowing staff person during final design and prior to beginning construction, to coordinate access to bus stops and bus vehicle movements through the project area during construction: Mr. Mannie Thomas Supervisor, Communications and Operations Orange County Transit District P.O.
