SUBJECT: NEWPORT AVENUE TRAFFIC SIGNAL REVIEW
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
At a previous City Council meeting staff was requested to review
Newport Avenue with respect to traffic signals and determine if there
is a need for any additional signal installations along that roadway.
The segment of Newport Avenue that was reviewed by staff extends from
Wass Street on the north to the AT&SF railroad/flood control right-of-
way on the south a distance of approximately 1.9 miles.
DISCUSSION:
There are currently thirteen (13)
sections along Newport Avenue of which
operated by the City, and one (1)
Caltrans (southbound off -ramp of I-5
intersecting arterial roadways
secting local/collector streets
Street/Sixth Street and Mitchell
are
are
traffic signal controlled inter -
twelve (12) are maintained and
is maintained and operated by
freeway). Each of the ten
signalized and two of the inter -
signalized. These are Walnut
Avenue.
There are six remaining intersection local/collector streets and three
public alleys that are not signalized. None of these unsignalized
intersections require signalization at this time.
Caltrans will be widening Newport Avenue under the I-5 freeway and
reconstructing the northbound I-5 on-ramp from Newport Avenue with the
Stage III construction contract of the I-5/Rte. 55 interchange project.
These on-ramp modifications will cul-de-sac E1 Camino Way and extend
the on-ramp southeasterly to Newport Avenue. This ramp intersection
may require signalization to clear left -turn vehicles to the on-ramp
from northbound Newport Avenue. Caltrans has been requested to review
this intersection as a part of their freeway design.
Four traffic signal modification projects have been included within the
1990-91 capital improvement program budget which will tie the
intersections of Mitchell Avenue, McFadden Avenue, Walnut Avenue and
Sycamore Avenue into the citywide computerization control system. The
remaining intersections between the I-5 freeway and Irvine Boulevard
are currently under modification as a Caltrans mitigation measure for
the I-5 widening/reconstruction.
