1 b. Provide for a safe community - Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the
safety of the public.
6. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMEN I
Circulation and Mobility Element Goal 1.0: Provide a safe, efficient, and comprehensive
circulation system that serves local needs, meets forecasted demands and sustains quality of life
in neighborhoods._
Policy 1.2: Identify key intersections and streets with historical or projected traffic congestion
problems and apply creative traffic management measures to improve overall circulation.
7. DISCUSSION and BACKGRO I
The project consists of the widening of the northwest and southwest quadrants of the
intersection. This project will add one additional left turn pocket on eastbound Katella Avenue
onto northbound Wanda Road and one right turn lane on westbound Katella Avenue onto
northbound Wanda Road. Pavement rehabilitation, sidewalks, curb and gutter, replacement of
stamped concrete median, street trees, signing and striping, street lighting, and signal
modifications are proposed for the project. Signal modifications include replacement of traffic
signals, controller cabinet, loop detectors, and other related items. Traffic signal includes
replacement of poles, mast arm, and signal heads to accommodate new lane configurations.
The project is proposed in order to alleviate congestion and reduce delay at the intersection
during peak traffic periods. The existing Level of Service (LOS) at the intersection is LOS E
(unacceptable). With the project, the LOS is projected to be LOS D (acceptable). The widening
requires acquisition of two strips of landscaped areas from commercial /office properties located
on the northwest and southwest quadrants of the intersection. The width of the acquisition area is
up to 4 feet wide. The needed area is 993 SF and 249 SF, respectively. Offers for the needed area
have been accepted by the property owners. City Council approved the purchases on November
25, 2014 and January 13, 3015.
The current construction cost estimate is $760,000.00 including 10% contingencies and staff
cost. Funds including OCTA M2 grant and Villa Park's fair -share for construction are currently
programmed for the 2015 -16 Fiscal Year. Since the project is ahead of schedule, staff
recommends advertising the project in February and awarding the construction contract in April.
Therefore, construction may begin in June to minimize traffic impacts to nearby schools. When
the project is presented to Council in April for award, staff will request appropriation to advance
the FY 2015 -16 funds to the current fiscal year.
The project is categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Existing Facilities.
This exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance and minor alteration to existing
public or private structures or facilities (including existing highways, streets, sidewalks, gutters,
trails, and similar facilities), involving negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The CEQA

completion of engineering plans and prior to right of way acquisition.
Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2015 and is expected to be completed within ninety
calendar days.
