IRVINE FOR OCTA MEASURE M2 TRAFFIC SIGNAL
SYNCHRONIZATION PROGRAM FOR BONITA CANYON DRIVE -
FORD ROAD AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE
r c7i9
The City of Irvine request that the City of Newport Beach support their application, as lead
agency, to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 Regional
Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for the Ford Road - Bonita Canyon Drive - Culver
Drive and University Drive - Jeffrey Road Corridor Synchronization Projects.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2011- 106 supporting the City of Irvine application for the OCTA
Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for the Ford Road - Bonita Canyon
Drive - Culver Drive and University Drive - Jeffrey Road Corridor Projects.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no funding needed at this time for adoption of the Resolution to support project
applications. Should the City of Irvine's project applications be successful and awarded
Measure M2 grant funds for one, or both, of the signal synchronization projects, the City of
Newport Beach will be required to provide matching funds of at least 20 percent of the cost
for upgrades to the corridor traffic signals within the City of Newport Beach. Total project
cost and required City matching funds for these projects will be determined as part of the
project design and included in FY 2012 -2013 Capitol Improvements Program as needed.
DISCUSSION:
Through the Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program, OCTA is working to
enhance traffic signal coordination and reduce travel time delay by funding synchronization

projects for multi - jurisdictional traffic signal corridors. Project Eligibility requires City
Council Resolution supporting application and implementation of the project.
The proposed projects will synchronize traffic signals along the two project corridors
through traffic signal equipment and communication infrastructure upgrades, as well as,
traffic signal timing and coordination improvements.
The Ford Road - Bonita Canyon Drive - Culver Drive corridor project synchronizes 39
signalized intersections. Of these, six intersections along Ford Road and Bonita Canyon
Drive from Jamboree Road to Chambord are within the City of Newport Beach.
The University Drive - Jeffrey Road corridor project synchronizes 33 signalized
intersections. Of these, two intersections, University Drive /Jamboree Road and University
Drive /La Vida are within the City of Newport Beach.
As part of the project, intersections within Newport Beach will receive upgraded traffic
signal control and communication equipment. Additionally, the project includes monitoring
of new signal timing, communications support, and integration of the modernized traffic
signals into the City's Traffic Management Center. The intersection upgrades are
consistent with the Traffic Signal Modernization Master Plan.
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.
