TITLE: Resolution No. 2024-87: Supporting an Application by the City of
Santa Ana to the Orange County Transportation Authority for
Funding Under Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization
Program for the Bristol Street Project from SR-22 to Jamboree Road
ABSTRACT:
The City of Santa Ana requests the City of Newport Beach support its application for the
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal
Synchronization Program (RTSSP) for the Bristol Street Project from SR-22 to Jamboree
Road. The proposed project will upgrade traffic signal equipment and communication
equipment along the 45 signalized intersections on the Bristol Street corridor, of which
eight intersections are within Newport Beach.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-87, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Supporting an Application by the City of Santa Ana to the Orange
County Transportation Authority for Funding Under Measure M2 Regional Traffic
Signal Synchronization Program, for the Bristol Street Project from SR-22 to
Jamboree Road.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP), the
RTSSP was created to upgrade traffic signal equipment, enhance traffic signal
coordination, and reduce travel time delay by funding synchronization projects for
multi -jurisdictional traffic signal corridors. Project eligibility requires a City Council
resolution supporting the application and implementation of the project.

OCTA is currently administering the 2024 Call for Projects for the RTSSP. Project
applications received by OCTA will be evaluated and scored as part of the competitive
program. If successful, the City will be required to provide the necessary local matching
funds of at least 20% of Newport Beach's portion of the total project cost.
The proposed project will upgrade traffic signal equipment and communication equipment
along the Bristol Street corridor; this application does not include a traffic signal
synchronization scope since there is an existing effort led by OTCA to coordinate traffic
signals countywide. This project includes 45 signalized intersections, of which eight
intersections are within Newport Beach.
As part of the project, the eight Newport Beach intersections will receive new traffic signal
controllers, communication equipment, battery backup systems, Closed Circuit TV
cameras, and emergency vehicle preemption.

Should the project application be successful and awarded Measure M2 grant funds, the
City of Newport Beach will enter into a cooperative agreement with the City of Santa Ana
that will include the required funding for Newport Beach's share of the project. The
conceptual cost estimate, including work within Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach,
and Caltrans District 12 right-of-way, is approximately $4,218,657. The Newport Beach
portion of the scope is estimated to be $540,242; and of that amount, the grant's match
requirement is estimated at $108,048 (20%). Funding for the project match will be
included in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program for City Council
consideration.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
