1 6. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Circulation and 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
problems and apply creative traffic management measure to improve overall circulation.
7 DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
OCTA issued a call for projects for coordinating traffic signals across multiple jurisdictional
boundaries as part of the Renewed Measure M (M2) Regional Traffic Signalization Program
Project P to enhance countywide traffic flow and reduce congestion.
In response to the call, the County of Orange with the participation of the Cities of Orange and
Garden Grove initiated an application and was awarded Project P funds for the implementation
of signal synchronization of the traffic signals along the Chapman Avenue Corridor. The 14.2
mile corridor starts at Valley View Street in Garden Grove and includes 55 intersection traffic
signals within the County of Orange, Cities of Garden Grove and Orange, and those under
Caltrans jurisdiction. Within the City of Orange, the corridor spans approximately 6.6 miles and
includes 22 intersections from Lewis Street easterly to Cliffway Drive.
The project will include synchronization components identified in the application. In the City of
Orange, the components include installation of fiber optics cable, Ethernet switches, controller
and cabinet upgrade, video detection system, closed circuit television cameras, and a battery
back -up system.
The total project cost is $2,935,055. The participating agencies agreed to a combined cash and
in -kind match (staffing, equipment purchase) of $587,011 representing twenty percent (20 %) of
the total project costs. Orange's share of the project cost includes $210,172 in direct dollar
match, and approximately $12,620 in -kind match in the form of staffing support.
The Cooperative Agreement describes the duties and responsibilities, including funding
obligations of all the participating agencies. OCTA was designated and agreed to act as the
implementing agency to carry out project implementation. Participating agencies will be
responsible for coordinating the installation of their elements during the course of the project and
on -going maintenance and operation after the three -year grant period. When completed,
vehicular traffic in a synchronized corridor will often pass through a series of green lights before
stopping.
