SUBJECT: UNDERGROUND DISTRICT NO. 27 WEST STREET FROM KATELLA
AVENUE TO BALL ROAD

Sheet l of 2
Underground District No. 27 involves West Street from Katella Avenue to Ball Road. West Street
is designated as a Secondary Arterial Highway, intended to collect and distribute traffic between local
streets, major and primary arterial and is also used as an exit for Disneyland guests.
Traffic safety is a major concern throughout this planned underground district. This district includes
the West Street/Katella Avenue intersection, which ranks as the ninth highest accident location in the
recent 12 -month Citywide accident count; West Street/Ball Road intersection, which ranks 10th
highest; and West Street/Cerritos Avenue intersection, which ranks 19th highest in the recent 12-
month Citywide accident count.
Eighty -five total collisions occurred along this segment of West Street during the same 12 -month
period. Of the total, 31 were rear -end, 24 were broadside, 14 were side swipe, 10 were single
vehicle -hit- fixed object, two were head -on and four 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. 27 which includes the high
accident locations of West Street/Katella Avenue, West Street/Ball Road and West Street/Cerritos
Avenue. 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.
