improvements on city streets to 'increase the efficiency of the signal
system in moving vehicles seeking alternate routes from the I-5 widening
construction area. The agreement provides for .Caltrans to reimburse
Tustin for the cost of the mitigation work proposed.
The project cannot proceed without approval of the plans and specifica-
tions by Caltrans, and that approval may be received while the Council is
dark in December 1989. As it is in the best interest of the City to
proceed with the project as soon as possible, prior approval of the
project by the Council is requested.
The engineer's estimate for the project is $209,000.
The project will have no financial impact on the City's General Fund.
