STRATEGIC PLAN STATEMENT:
There is no specific strategic planning goal or objective associated with this agenda item.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the Measure M2 RTSSP, over 2,000 signalized intersections across Orange County are proposed to be improved in order to maintain traffic signal synchronization to improve traffic flow and provide congestion relief throughout the region. This project will improve traffic signal synchronization for 48 signalized intersections along Yorba Linda Boulevard and Weir Canyon Road between State College Boulevard in the City of Fullerton and Oak Canyon Drive in the City of Anaheim. In Placentia, the corridor starts at Bradford Avenue and it includes nine (9) signals.
The City of Yorba Linda has agreed to act as the lead agency for design, construction, and management of the project, under the proposed Cooperative Agreement. The scope of work includes procurement, installation of fiber optic cables, ADA -compliant pedestrian push buttons, controller cabinet upgrades, and traffic monitoring cameras at selected locations within the City of Placentia. The scope of work will also develop, implement, and fine tune coordinated signal timing plans for various peak traffic periods along the entire corridor with the ongoing monitoring and maintenance of the coordinated signal system's operation, including signal timing coordination and system communication maintenance for two (2) years. The budget for the project is $4,621,816.00, of which a total of $3,697,452.80 is funded by the OCTA's Project P/Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City's share of matching project funds amounts to $160,134.98 and will be included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program Budget. The City has typically funded these projects with a combination of Citywide Traffic Development Impact Fees, AQMD Subvention Funds and General Fund Dollars. The City's cost share is not due to the City of Yorba Linda for at least four (4) years which is when the project and monitoring period is expected to be completed.
