SUBJECT: UNDERGROUND DISTRICT NO. 38 - BALL ROAD/EUCLID STREET
Underground District No. 38 involves the intersection of Ball Road and Euclid Street. Ball Road
and Euclid Street are designated as primary arterial highways. Both streets are intended to carry
a large volume of regional through traffic not handled by the freeway system.
Traffic safety is a major concem throughout this planned underground district. This district
includes the Ball Road/Euclid Street intersection, which ranks 18th in the recent 12-month
Citywide accident count. Twenty-five total collisions occurred along this segment of Ball Road
and Euclid Street during the same 12-month period. Of the total, 11 were rear-end, six were
broadside, three were side-swipe, one was hit-fixed-object, one was auto pedestrian 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. 38 which includes the
high accident locations of Ball Road/Euclid Street. 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 Ball Road and Euclid Street intersection and that such
work be performed concurrently with the City's underground project.
