system that serves local needs, meets forecasted demands, and sustains quality of life in

7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
On December 14, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution 10523 to approve the City's
Local Signal Synchronization Plan (Local Plan) as part of the Measure M2 Eligibility
Process. The Local Plan identifies traffic signal synchronization routes including all
elements of the Regional (countywide) Signal Synchronization Network located within the
City. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued a call for projects for Regional
Traffic Signal Synchronization Program to coordinate traffic signals across jurisdictional
boundaries in the county. The City of Orange is coordinating with neighboring agencies on
the following project funding application:
Chapman Avenue Corridor between Cliffway Drive in the City of Orange and Valley View
Street in the City of Garden Grove. The project is in collaboration with the City of Garden
Grove and the County of Orange.
All agencies are required to provide a minimum of 20 percent matching funds for these
projects.
By adopting Resolution No. 10859 the City Council requests OCTA allocate the funds
necessary for the implementation of the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program
within each local agency's jurisdiction. The Resolution will also authorize the Public Works
Director to submit synchronization projects for funding consideration under the
Comprehensive Transportation Funding Programs.
