northeast industrial area and the City of Oranae via Tustin Avenue,
as well as, servinq as a freewa~~ interchange point..
?_• That Jafferson Streei. nortF of the proposed interchanqe is to connect
with Linda Vista Avenue and Yorba iinda Roulevard, thus creatino a
direct route from the residential section of the Yorba Linda and
Placentia ~rea to the freewa~~ interch~nge and southerly.
3. That traffic created by tfiis extension, when coupled with tf~e
existing demand fo: access into the industrial area, will demand
a minimwn of four traffic ianes for Jefferson Street..
4. That the area south of the Santa Ana River, and r,orth o° Santa Ana
Canyon Road from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad to
Irnperial Highway is being developed rapidly as a low-density resi-
dential area, and upon comptetion of the Riverdale crossing of the
Riverside Freeway, it will be logical to assume that tt~e Je:ferson
Street crossing will provide the most advantageous route to and
from the residential area south of the river to the industrial area
north of ttie river.
