OCTA issued a call for projects through the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program to coordinate traffic signals across jurisdictional boundaries in the county.  Valley View Street was identified as a heavily traveled corridor that would benefit from traffic signal coordination.

The proposed Valley View Street project spans approximately five miles and includes 22 traffic signals.  The project would begin at Chapman Avenue in Garden Grove and terminate at Warner Avenue in Huntington Beach (see attached map – Exhibit A).  The Valley View Street project cost is estimated at $1,871,400 with a subtotal for the City of Garden Grove of $578,100.  The project's local match is 20 percent, which is $115,620, and is anticipated to begin July 2020.

There is no impact to the General Fund.  The City of Garden Grove’s financial responsibility towards the project is estimated at $115,620.  The funds will be allocated in Fiscal Year 2020/21 budget using Traffic Mitigation Fees. 

It is recommended that the City Council:

• Adopt the attached Resolution approving the submittal of the Valley View Street Traffic Signal Synchronization Improvement Projects to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding under the CTFP.
