SUBJECT: MOULTON PARKWAY SUPER STREET STUDY - PRESENTATION OF DATA
AND PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS:
For information only.
DISCUSSION:
The Orange County Transportation Commission (OCTC) has developed
a "high-flow arterial concept", which is known as Super Street.
Studies indicate that the concept will result in a substantial
reduction in traveling vehicle delay, improvement in fuel
consumption rate and lower vehicle emission.
Beach Boulevard, from Pacific Coast Highway to Imperial Highway
was selected as Orange County's first Super Street, and
improvements for that facility are now under design. The OCTC
is now in the process of selecting the next Super Street for
improvement. Candidate highways are:
Moulton Parkway - Pacific Coast Highway to Main Street in Santa
Ana.
Imperial Highway - Beach blvd. to Santa Ana Canyon Rd.
Katella Avenue - I-605 to SR -55
The Orange County Environmental Management Agency (EMA) is
currently administering a project to study the feasibility of
developing Moulton Parkway into a Super Street. Considerable
traffic data on Moulton Parkway has been gathered.
EMA staff will discuss that data with the Council as well as
recommendations for the development of a Super Street project on
Moulton Parkway and mitigation measures that may be taken.
