The most common comment was that there is a traffic problem that needs a solution. In October 2011 engineering and environmental work began on a plan to extend SR 241 from where it now ends at Oso Parkway to the Ortega Highway area to pro- vide an alternative route and improve mobility in a growing part of Orange County. The Tesoro extension will provide additional northern access for communi- ties located inland of 1 -5 and commuters traveling to Orange County business centers from the Inland Empire via Ortega Highway. It provides an important alternative route to 1 -5. Construction of this four mile extension will cre- ate more than 2,000 Orange County jobs and an additional 407 jobs statewide. The Tesoro extension project will extend the 241 Toll Road from its current terminus at Oso Parkway to Cow Camp Road in the vicinity of Ortega Highway (see map). Extending the 241 will provide an alternative route to the heavily traveled 1 -5 and local streets.

WHO WILL BENEFIT? • 241 Toll Road commuters • San Juan Capistrano, Ladera Ranch and Mission Viejo residents • Commuters from the Inland Empire traveling to job centers in central and northern Orange county • Future communities, job centers and businesses in Rancho Mission Viejo (an approved development not reliant on construction of the 241) • San Clemente residents, upon completion of Avenida La Pata. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS & PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT • Environmental analysis of the project area was analyzed within the Subse- quent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) in 2006 • According to the SEIR, all environmental impacts are minimal and can be successfully mitigated • Project design features include construction of three wildlife crossings • Environmental work required for the project includes: - Addendum to the SEIR certified in 2006 - Traffic Study - California Department of Fish & Game —1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement Update - Regional Water Quality Control Board — 401 Certification - US Army Corps of Engineers — 404 Permit - US Fish and Wildlife Service — Biological Opinion After the traffic and environmental analyses are completed, there will be a public review period for the Environmental Impact Report addendum and public workshops. WHY BUILD THIS EXTENSION? • It will improve quality of life in the project area and adjacent communities by reducing traffic congestion on adjacent freeways and provide a congestion -free option for drivers. • It will provide transportation choices between affordable housing and jobs in Southern California. The project allows for sufficient right of way for future Bus Rapid Transit, rail or high occupancy vehicle lanes. • It improves the regional transportation network to ensure redundancy, long -term safety, and reliability, as well as improved air quality. COMPLETING THE SYSTEM: WHAT'S GOING ON? TCA is committed to continuing its stakeholder outreach program to find a solution that will improve regional mobility. • The Tesoro Extension is approximately 5 miles long • Two lanes will be constructed in each direction with a median wide enough for additional lanes or future transit options • Preliminary engineering, environmental work and the finance plan will be completed by the end of 2012 • FY12 cost of $3.9 million for preliminary engineering, environmental and finance work (estimated construction cost $200 million) • Estimated Average Daily Trips (ADT) by year 2035: 41,000 ADT • Construction planned for early 2013 • Project creates more than 2,000 jobs in Orange County 002 -12 TESORO EXTENSION - EXTENDING SR 241 FROM OSO PARKWAY TO COW CAMP ROAD After hearing feedback from elected officials and the communities in and around the project area, TCA staff re- evaluated the location of the southern terminus for the Tesoro extension. The Foothill /Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency Board of Directors approved the plan shown below in January 2012. An important consid- eration was how the project will work with the roadway circulation system that is planned for the area (see map): ® An interim terminus will be constructed at a future road called Cow Camp Road, which is planned to run parallel to Ortega Highway and will be the area's major east -west arterial roadway with two to three lanes in each direction and will carry 30,000 trips per day in 2035. ® With the construction of Cow Camp Road, Ortega Highway will become a secondary road with one lane in each direction and will carry approximately 6,000 trips a day in 2035. ® At a future date -- and when the adjacent local transportation system is complete in the unincorporated area north of Ortega Highway and east of Antonio Parkway -- a permanent SR 241 interchange will be built at future "G Street." Yellow indicates the existing roadway system. Green indicates the planned SR 241 extension from Oso Parkway to the future location of "G Street." Blue indicates the interim extension to Cow Camp Road that will be built as an arterial with a "T" intersection at Cow Camp Road. Oranga indicates a portion of Cow Camp Road to be built by the County and Rancho Mission Viejo. Cow Camp Road will eventually connect into Ortega Highway to the east. PA represents areas planned for development by the Rancho Mission Viejo Company.
