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.

7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
On December 14, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 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 two project funding
applications as follows:
1) Chapman Avenue Corridor between Cliffway Drive in the City of Orange, and Valley
View Street in the City of Garden Grove. This project is in collaboration with the City of
Garden Grove.
2) Main Street Corridor between First Street in the City of Santa Ana, and Taft Avenue in the
City of Orange. This project is in collaboration with the City of Santa Ana.
All agencies are required to provide a minimum of 20 percent matching funds for these projects.
By adopting Resolution No. 10822 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 Public Works Director to submit
synchronization projects for funding consideration under the Comprehensive Transportation
Funding Program.
