| | Subject: | Adoption of a Resolution approving the submittal of the Euclid Street Traffic Signal Synchronization Improvement Project to the Orange County Transportation Authority for Funding Under the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program. (Grant Amount: $1,300,000) (Action Item) | Date: | 11/9/2021 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To adopt a Resolution approving the submittal of the Euclid Street Traffic Signal Synchronization Project to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for funding under the competitive Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP). |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
OCTA issued a call for projects through the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program to coordinate traffic signals across jurisdictional boundaries in the county. Euclid Street was identified as a heavily traveled corridor that would benefit from traffic signal coordination. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The proposed Euclid Street project spans approximately 16.5 miles and includes 65 traffic signals. It would begin at La Habra Boulevard in the City of La Habra and terminate at Ellis Avenue in the City of Fountain Valley (see attached map - Exhibit A). The total Euclid Street project cost is estimated at $5,800,000. The project subtotal for the City of Garden Grove is estimated to be $1,300,000 with a matching local obligation of $266,000 (20%). The project involves the installation of new traffic signal cabinets, controllers, video detection system, CCTV cameras and other signal equipment. Traffic signals will also be re-timed to provide synchronization along the corridor. It is anticipated that the project will begin in September 2022. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. The CTFP program provides 80% of funding and requires a 20% local match. Traffic Mitigation Fees will be used to provide matching funds in the amount of $266,000 for this grant cycle. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Adopt the attached Resolution approving the submittal of the Euclid Street Traffic Signal Synchronization Improvement Projects to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding under the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program.
