SUBJECT: UNDERGROUND DISTRICT NO. 26 EUCLID STREET FROM CRESCENT
AVENUE TO BROADWAY
Underground District No. 26 involves Euclid Street from Crescent Avenue to Broadway. Euclid
Street is designated as a Primary Arterial Highway and is intended to carry a large volume of regional
through traffic not handled by the freeway system.
Traffic safety is a major concern throughout this planned underground district. This district includes
the Euclid Street/Lincoln Avenue intersection, which ranks as the 13th highest accident location in
the recent 12 -month Citywide accident count. Also in this district is the Euclid Street/Broadway
intersection, which ranks 16th highest in the recent 12 -month Citywide accident count. Eighty-two
total collisions occurred along this segment of Euclid Street during the same 12 -month period. Of
the total, 30 were rear -end, 24 were broadside, 17 were side swipe, four were single- vehicle -hit-
fixed object, one was head -on, one was auto pedestrian and five were other types. 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. 26 which includes the high
accident locations of Euclid Street/Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Street/Broadway. 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 Euclid Street segments and that such work be performed
concurrently with the City's underground project.
