Sheet 1 of 2
Underground District No. 28 involves West Street from Ball Road to I -5 Freeway. West Street is
designated as a Secondary Arterial Highway and is intended to collect and distribute traffic between
local streets, major and primary arterial highways. With completion of the I -5 widening, the segment
of West Street will connect freeway traffic with the Anaheim Resort.
Traffic safety is a major concern throughout this planned underground district. This district includes
the West Street/Ball Road intersection, which ranks as the 10th highest accident location in the recent
12 -month Citywide accident count. Thirty -five total collisions occurred along this segment of West
Street during the same 12 -month period. Of the total, 14 were rear -end, nine were broadside, five
were side swipe, three were single vehicle -hit- fixed object, one was head -on and three were other
type. In many of these incidents, sight distances impaired by utility poles may be a collision factor.
I therefore recommend that, pursuant to Chapter 17.24 of the City of Anaheim Municipal Code, the
City of Anaheim adopt a resolution creating Underground District No. 28 which includes the high
accident location of West Street/Ball Road. The purpose of the undergrounding projects is set forth
in Section 17.24.020 of Chapter 17.24 and includes traffic safety.
Overhead electric facilities contribute to the obstruction of visibility of pedestrian and vehicular traffic
at both intersections and driveways. Under certain circumstances, such overhead facilities may
obstruct the vision of pedestrians and vehicle drivers, and adversely impact public use of the
intersections and street segments. For these reasons, I strongly recommend the removal and/or
relocation of all utility facilities within the West Street segments and that such work be performed
concurrently with the City's underground project.
