I used <br />a measure wheel to gage the distances to certain key points. Attached are my field notes that I will be transferring to an <br />aerial map. Here is a summary of my findings. <br />I do not see how a u turn is possible along this stretch of the road with cars and trucks going 45 miles per hour (speed <br />limit) or more along 760 feet (from exit ramp) of road before they start curving for another 460 feet as they hit the S <br />curve at the same speed. All of this going uphill for those going south and downhill for those going north. The right of <br />way gradually decreased from 100' to 60' where the initial curve starts. Attached are pictures I took from the street <br />showing the North (100' row) and South (less row) views. <br />Hope this helps. <br />Sincerely, <br />Nishith Trivedi <br />Transportation Planner <br />Orange County Planning Department <br />131 W.
