Webb, Public Works Director /City Engineer 949 - 644 -3311, dawebb @newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Brad Sommers, Senior Civil Engineer`( APPROVED: TITLE: Resolution Supporting an Application by City of Costa Mesa for OCTA Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for Newport Boulevard Corridor Synchronization Project ABSTRACT: The City of Costa Mesa requested the City of Newport Beach to support their application, as lead agency, to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (TTSP) for the Newport Boulevard Corridor Synchronization Project. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2012- 94 supporting the City of Costa Mesa application for the OCTA Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for the Newport Boulevard Corridor Synchronization Project. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no funding needed at this time for adoption of the Resolution to support project application. If the grant is awarded by OCTA, the total estimated project cost for the proposed work within Newport Beach is approximately $763,000. Per grant guidelines, the City is eligible to receive up to $600,000 of grant funds. The City would be responsible for funding the remaining $163,000. Through "in- kind" services, which include staff time for design review, construction inspection, and traffic signal timing implementation, the cost is reduced an additional $68,000, requiring the City to fund $95,000 of the project cost as a "cash- match." I of 6 Resolution Supporting an Application by City of Costa Mesa for OCTA Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for Newport Boulevard Corridor Synchronization Project November 13, 2012 Page 2 The total City match (in -kind and cash match) is approximately 21% of the project costs for work within the City, which meets the OCTA Traffic Signal Synchronization Program guidelines. Should the grant application be successful, sufficient funds will be established in the Fiscal Year 2012/2013 CIP Budget. 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 project will enhance traffic signal coordination along Newport Boulevard from Bristol Street in Costa Mesa, south through Newport Beach, continuing as Balboa Boulevard to Main Street. Proposed work within the City of Newport Beach includes the following improvements chosen to compliment our recently upgraded traffic signal system: Install modern traffic signal control, communication equipment and fiber optic communication cable at the Newport Boulevard/Via Lido and Newport Boulevard /Finley Avenue traffic signals. — These locations were not upgraded as part of the recent Modernization project as they are currently operated by Caltrans. Prior to this project, it is expected these intersections will be relinquished from the State to the City, allowing the proposed project to connect the traffic signals to the City's Traffic Management Center. m Replace aging traffic signal equipment at several locations on the Peninsula — The proposed project will install new traffic signal control equipment to increase reliability and reduce maintenance costs. Equipment included in this project was not replaced during the recent Modernization project; Install fiber optic communication cable from 21st Street to 15th Street — Installation of fiber optic cable along this section will replace our current wireless system for better reliability; ® Install a "real- time ", Traffic Responsive traffic signal control system on Newport Boulevard from 2151 Street to Via Lido to enhance traffic flow and reduce staff time during peak seasons — A Traffic Responsive system would allow the traffic signal system to automatically change timing. When deployed on this segment of Newport Boulevard, the system will aid 2 of Resolution Supporting an Application by City of Costa Mesa for OCTA Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for Newport Boulevard Corridor Synchronization Project November 13, 2012 Page 3 staff in handling peak summer traffic onto and off of the Peninsula. This system will integrate into the existing Traffic Management System; Install Emergency Vehicle Preemption; and • Update traffic signal timing and coordination plans. Once the project is complete, coordination along the project corridor will be monitored. Staff will work with the City of Costa Mesa to ensure traffic signal timing and 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.
