Circulation & Mobility 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

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 synchronization routes including all elements of the Regional
(countywide) Signal Synchronization Program to coordinate traffic signals across jurisdictional
boundaries in the county. The City of Orange (Orange) is coordinating with the City of Anaheim
(Anaheim) on the funding application for the implementation of the Orangewood Avenue
Corridor Traffic Signal Synchronization project.
The Orangewood Avenue Corridor Synchronization is a multi jurisdictional project starting at
Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim, and ends at Batavia Street in Orange. This is part of the OCTA's
Measure M2 Project P. The corridor covers fifteen (15) intersections in Anaheim, Orange, and
the State of California Department of Transportation. Within Orange, there are four intersections
namely Eckhoff Street, Poplar Street, Main Street, and Batavia Street.
The participating agencies are required to provide minimum 20% matching funds in cash, or in-
kind such as staffing and equipment purchase.
By adopting Resolution No. 10780, the City Council requests OCTA allocate the funds necessary
for the implementation of the Regional Traffic Synchronization Program within each local
agency's jurisdiction. The Resolution will also authorize the Orange Public Works Director to
submit the synchronization project for funding consideration under the Comprehensive
Transportation Funding Program.
