7 Intersection of El Camino Real &
Southwood Drive / 1st Street

Traffic Signal
8 In-N-Out Responsibilities & Initial Investment
• Responsible for the design & construction of
traffic signal improvements.
• Cal Trans review & reasonable adjustments to
the design based on feedback or requirements
from Cal Trans will be considered as “generally
conforming.”
• The existing street on El Camino Real does not
currently meet ADA requirements; will work with
the City engineers to reasonably resolve the
street slopes.
• Cover the full upfront cost of the signal
installation, including payment of prevailing
wages.
Project Timeline & Contingencies
• The traffic signal must be installed within 2 years
of TCO
• Prior to the start of traffic signal construction and installation and before Final Occupancy of the
on-site improvements, In-N-Out will install No-U
Turn signs on El Camino Real at Southwood Drive
/ 1st Street.
• In-N-Out must submit complete traffic signal
plans for City review and approval prior to
submittal to Caltrans.
• If CalTrans denies the request for the permanent
traffic signal, In-N-Out and the City will engage
in good faith negotiations to determine
appropriate next steps.
• Caltrans denial of the traffic signal will not
relieve In-N-Out of all mitigation measures that
may be reasonable and appropriate.
Proposed Reimbursement Agreement
9 • Adopt Resolution approving a
Reimbursement Agreement for
installation of a new traffic
signal at the intersection of El
Camino Real and Southwood
Drive / 1st Street
