Title

Cannon Street Widening Project

Description

The proposed project would widen the Cannon Street roadway within the project limits to accommodate a third northbound lane from approximately 500 feet north of Santiago Canyon Road to Serrano Avenue where it would join the two existing dedicated right-turn lanes to eastbound Serrano Avenue. This additional lane would function as an auxiliary lane to improve traffic operations. In the southbound direction, bicyclists and pedestrians would cross Santiago Creek on a new bridge just west of the existing vehicular bridge. The new bridge would clear span the creek and is expected to consist of a prefabricated steel truss, approximately 170 feet long and 12 feet wide. A traffic signal modification would be required at Taft Avenue. The proposed improvements are not expected to require permanent right-of-way acquisitions. Temporary construction easements would be needed from the County of Orange to construct the new pedestrian bridge. A portion of the widening would be outside of the City of Orange's jurisdiction and within the City of Villa Park. The City of Orange has been and would continue to coordinate with Villa Park regarding the project. Utilities, traffic signals, and street lighting that are in conflict with the proposed improvements would be relocated. Tree removal and removal of other vegetation near the new bridge abutments would be necessary for the project. During construction, Cannon Street would remain open to traffic. Lane shifts would be used to complete the widening work.
