ATE. JULY 3 01 1991
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT". EDINGER AVENUE/JAMBOREE ROAD GRADE SEPARATION - STATUS REPORT
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
At the July 15, 1991, meeting Council requested staff to pursue the
feasibility of including a grade separation project within the
Measure M Funding Program for the intersection of Edinger Avenue
and Jamboree Road. This grade separation project would include
Jamboree Road bridging over Edinger Avenue with a diamond type
interchange connection to Edinger Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has received the following tentative information from the
Orange County Local Transportation Authority (OCLTA) regarding the
availability of Measure M funding to the local agencies:
1. Solicitation of applications for Regional Street and Road
projects in November, 1991.
2. Application deadline in March 1992.
3. OCLTA final action on projects in June, 1992.
Staff feels that the Edinger Avenue and Jamboree Road grade
separation project would qualify as an eligible project in the
Regional Street and Road project category, as it is the
intersection of two current super streets. Additionally, after the
completion of the westerly leg of the Eastern Transportation
Corridor, Jamboree Road, at this intersection will serve as the
transition from the corridor to the super street.
It is also staffs intention to work with the City of Irvine staff
to submit this project as a joint City project due to the upcoming
reorganization of Irvine -Tustin boundary, along the centerline of
Jamboree Road. As additional information is developed on this
matter, staff will provide the City Council with status reports on
the project.
