The Orange County Transportation Authority board has delayed the

public comment period for a study evaluating plans to build bridges on

Gisler and 19th streets.

The agency is waiting for responses to the study from two Orange

County cities, which have not been named.

The responses will be included in an environmental report that will

not be available to the public until the board votes to begin accepting

public comment on the report.

The board has postponed the beginning of the environmental report

process twice already and is expected to approve the process Monday.

The board is now expected to vote to begin the public comment process

in late April or May, authority spokesman George Urch said Tuesday.
