RED HILL AVENUE AND MOULTON PARKWAY/EDINGER STREET TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND
INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency, at their meeting of February 3,
1986, authorize a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $36,000.00
for traffic signal and intersection improvements at the Red Hill Avenue and
Moulton Parkway/Edinger Street intersection.
BACKGROUND:
New development is underway at both the southwesterly and northwesterly corners of
the Red Hill Avenue and Moulton Parkway/Edinger Street intersection.
Conditions of approval of these developments required certain street and traffic
signal improvements related directly to each development. For example, Pacific
Bell is responsible for all street improvement requirements adjacent to their
property to the centerline of each respective street, Red Hill and Edinger Street,
as well as all traffic signal improvements at the southwesterly corner. Rusco
Development is responsible for all street improvement requirements adjacent to
their property to the centerline of each respective street, Red Hill Avenue and
Edinger Street, as well as traffic signal improvements at the northwesterly
corner.
DISCUSSION:
Due to the widening of Red Hill Avenue along the westerly side and Edinger Street
along both sides adjacent to each development and the required relocation of
traffic signal facilities at the northwesterly and southwesterly corners, it is
necessary to modify and supplement certain traffic signal equipment on the
easterly side of Red Hill Avenue. This work, which is not part of the developers
responsibility, is estimated to be $26,000.00.
The coordination of the two separate street improvement projects at each corner
may require a delay in placing the final course of asphaltic concrete pavement
within the intersection area to obtain a smooth riding surface.

This intersection work requires the removal of the existing crossgutter (which
serves as an adverse impact to riding quality) and several thousand square feet of
existing pavement to provide adequate roadway surface drainage and smooth riding
surface through the intersection. It is proposed that the City (or Redevelopment
Agency) be responsible for the final placement of the asphaltic concrete wearing
course over approximately 20,000 square feet of the intersection after each
independent development has completed their responsibility of the asphaltic
concrete base course. The estimated cost for this portion of the work is
$10,OO0.O0.
The total required Agency funds for this project is $36,000.00 which will provide
the following work:
Traffic signal modifications on the easterly side of Red Hill Avenue at
Moulton Parkway and 50% of the cost of a new eight phase controller to
provide protected left turn movements from all directions.
Placement of the final course of asphaltic concrete pavement over
approximately 20,000 square feet of the intersection westerly of Red Hill
Avenue to provide more positive roadway surface drainage, smoother riding
quality and minimal disruption to the motorist utilizing the intersection
on a daily basis.
