Webb, Public Works Director- (949) 644 -3330, dawebb @newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Brad Sommers, Senior Civil Engineer PHONE: (949) 644 -3326 TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Supporting an Application by the City of Costa Mesa for the OCTA Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for the Fair Drive -Del Mar Avenue - University Avenue Project ABSTRACT: The City of Costa Mesa has asked our City Council to support their application for the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (TTSP) for the Fair Drive -Del Mar Avenue - University Avenue Project. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2014 -96, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Supporting an Application by the City of Costa Mesa for the Orange County Transportation Authority's (OCTA) Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program Funding for the Fair Drive -Del Mar Avenue - University Avenue Street Corridor Synchronization Project. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Funding is not required for adoption of the Resolution to support the Costa Mesa project application to the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program grant program. Should the project application be successful and awarded Measure M2 grant funds, the City will enter into a cooperative agreement with the City of Costa Mesa that will include the required funding for the City of Newport Beach's share of the project. The conceptual cost estimate, including work within Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, is approximately $550,000. The required cash match for work within Newport Beach is estimated at $16,000. Funding for the project would be allocated in the FY 2015 -2016 Capital Improvement Program. 5 -1 DISCUSSION: As part of the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP), the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program was created to 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 a call for projects for the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program. 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 percent of the total project cost. The proposed project will synchronize traffic signals along the Fair Drive -Del Mar Avenue - University Avenue corridor through traffic signal equipment and communication infrastructure upgrades. This project includes eight signalized intersections, of which, only one (the University Avenue /Irvine Avenue intersection) is within Newport Beach. As part of the project, the University Avenue /Irvine Avenue intersection will receive new traffic signal control equipment and revised traffic signal timing. 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 Program. 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. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
