Santa Ana Freeway (I-5)/Costa Mesa Frleeway Interchallnge
This project is a Caltrans project which is planned for construction to be
completed in three phases. Phase I is currently under design and includes the
following work:
o Elimination of the southbound I-5 to northbound Rte. 55 movement
Elimination of the southbound Rte. 55 to northbound' I-5 movement
° Relocation of the southbound Rte. 55 McFadden Ave. on-off ramps from
north of McFadden Ave. to south of McFadden Ave. (adjacent to Xerox
building)
~ Reconstruction/widening of the Warner Ave. and McFadden Ave. overpasses
at the Costa Mesa Freeway
° Addition of one travel lane to the Costa Mesa Freeway in each direction
between Dyer Road and the Santa Ana Freeway

Caltrans is desirous of combining Phase II and Phase III as one contract which
would include the foll'owing work:
~ Construction of a connector .road from northbound Rte. 55 to northbound I-5
as a flyover structure. This would result in one additional level of
roadway above the current I-5 Freeway
° Construction of a connector road from southbound Rte. 55 to northbound I-5
as a flyover structure
° Modification to the northbound I-5 to northbound Rte. 55 connector road,
southbound I-5 to southbound Rte. 55 connector road and northbound Rte. 55

Santa Ana Freeway Widening
This project consists of the widening of I-5 from the San Diego Freeway (I-405) to
the San Gabriel Freeway {I-605) in Los Angeles County. The Fir. st two segments of
this project relate directly to Tustin. Segment one is between 1-405 and the
Costa Mesa Freeway {Rte. 55}. Segment two is between Rte. 55 and the Garden Grove
Freeway (Rte. 22).
Caltrans has formally recommended that the full standard widening project be
constructed. This full standard widening is also known as the twelve lane
widening. These twelve lanes are made up of five (5) general purpose lanes in
each direction and one {1) High Occupany Vehicle (HOV) 1.ane in each direction.
Segment one is tentatively scheduled as follows-
Environmental certification ..................... May, 1987
'Plan preparation ................................ June, 1987 to March, 1989
Bid advertisement ............................... April-May, 1989
Start construction ...................... July, 1989
The Draft EIS for segment two has been circulated for public review and a public
hearing has been conducted. Further project scheduling has not been made
available from Caltrans.
Santa Ana Freeway (I-5)/iJamboree Road (formerly iMyford) Interc.hange
This is a Caltrans sponsored/funded project and consists of the total
reconstruction of the existing interchange. A partial cloverleaf type interchange
is proposed which will provide full movements in all directions. The interchange
structure will be constructed to accommodate the future I-5 widening to twelve
lanes. The environmental certification has been completed and the project is
currently under design. The following is a tentative schedule for plan
completion, bid advertisement and construction:
Completion of plans ............................. January, 1988
Bid advertisement ............ -. .................. May, 1988
Start construction .............................. July, 1988
Santa. Ana Freeway (I-5)/Tustin Ranch Road Interchan~lle
This interchange is a City sponsored/funded project. Funding will be provided
through two East Tustin Assessment Districts. A full movement interchange is
proposed at the freeway, as well as the extension of Tustin Ranch Road southerly
to Walnut Avenue. The interchange will be' constructed to accommodate the future
I-5 widening to twelve lanes. Preparation of plans and bid documents are being
prepared by the City and it is anticipated that the contract administration will
also he a City responsibility in lieu of Caltrans. This project is in the initial
stages of processing with Caltrans and the Federal Highway ~.,~orks Administration

Eastern Transportation Corridor ·
The Eastern Transportation Corridor (ETC) is planned as a 6-8 lane freeway type
facility extending between the Riverside Freeway (Rte. 91) on the north to the
Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) on the south to act as a relief to the Costa Mesa Freeway
and local arterials. The ETC Route Location Study and environmental documentation
is currently in progress and it is anticipated to be completed in late 1987.
Several route location alternatives are being considered and are located between
Jamboree Road on the north to State Route 133 (Laguna Freeway) on the southerly
end of the study area.
Approximately a year and a half ago, a fee program was initiated by the County of
Orange and eight Cities to fund approximately 50% of the cost of the Eastern and
Foothill Transportation Corridors. This program provides a vehicle for each of
the governmental agencies to collect fees from new development within the
respective jurisdictions. In addition to these fees, the Orange County
Transportation Commission and the newly established Joint Powers Authority are
continuing to seek other sources of funding to supplement the fee program. No
construction schedules have been established at this time.
Foothill Transportation Corridor
The Foothill Transportation Corridor (FTC) is a planned 6-8 lane fre6way type
facility extending from the I-5 Freeway south of San Clemente to the proposed
Eastern Corridor. Finalization of route locations for various segments of t'he
corridor are currently underway. The westerly terminus of the FTC will be
determined when the final ETC alignment has been established.
The fee program as described above also pertains to the FTC. No construction
schedules have been established at this time.
Jamboree Road Extension through MCAiS
This segment of Jamboree Road extends from Barranca Parkway on the south to
Edinger St. on the north and is a joint effort between the City of Irvine, The
Irvine Company and City of Tustin. The project will provide for a six-lane major
arterial highway with grade separations at Moffett Drive within the Marine Base
and al so at Warner Avenue. Following is a tentative project schedule based upon
potential utilization of Federal Aid Urban (FAU).funding:
° Approval to circulate Environmental Assessment -- April, 1987

construction funds are available.
North-South Road (Jamboree)
This segment of roadway will extend from Irvine Blvd. on the south to Chapman
Ave. relocated (in Orange) on the north. Tustin will serve as lead agency on the
project for those areas located within the County of O'range and in the City of
Orange. It is anticipated that the project will be constructed under two major
contracts; grading and drainage facilities, and roadway improvements. The roadway
will be constructed in the interim to five lanes; three southbound lanes and two
northbound lanes between Irvine Blvd. and Tustin Ranch Rd. Ultimately, this
section will be constructed to six lanes and classified as a major arterial
highway. The section of roadway between Tustin Ranch Rd. and Chapman Ave. will be
constructed to a total of four lanes and will be classified as a primary arterial
highway. Funding within the City of Tustin will be provided through Assessment
District No. 86-2. Following is a tentative schedule of events for this project.
° Circulation of Environmental document .......... March-April, 1987
° Public hearing ................................. May, 1987
° Plans, and specifications complete .............. July, 1987
° Start grading/drainage improvements ............ September, 1987
° Complete grading/drainage improvements ......... June, 1988
° Start roadway construction ..................... June, 1988
° Complete roadway construction .................. October, 1988
East Tustin Arterial Highways
The following eight street projects within the East Tustin area wil.1 be
constructed at various stages and will be coordinated to provide minimum impact to
the adjoining communities. These roadways will include all storm drain, sewer,
and other required utilities. Funding will be provided by Assessment Districts
No. 85-1 and No. 86-2. The following summarization will outline the project
schedule as it is known today, the arterial highway classification and number of
travel lanes:
