RELINQUISHMENT OF NORTHBOUND 07-0RA-55 MCFADDEN AVENUE ON-OFF RAMPS
EXTENSION BETWEEN PASADENA AVENUE AND NEWPORT AVENUE - FILE #881
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of September 4, 1984, pass and
adopt the attached Resolution requesting relinquishment of the northbound
07-0RA-55 McFadden Avenue on-off ramps between Pasadena Avenue and Newport Avenue '
and waiver of ninety(90) day notice of intention.
BACKGROUND:
The northbound Costa Mesa freeway on-off ramps for McFadden Avenue were
constructed by CalTrans and have been maintained by that agency since the
construction of the freeway. These ramps extend easterly from the Costa Mesa
freeway through the intersection at Pasadena Avenue to Newport Avenue. The
portion upon which the City is requesting relinquishment lies between Pasadena
Avenue and Newport Avenue and as shown in red on the attached map.
DISCUSSION:
The City has been attempting to install a traffic signal at the intersection Of
Newport Avenue and Sycamore Avenue. The westerly leg of the intersection
(Sycamore Avenue) is currently under the jurisdiction of CalTrans which precludes
any construction within the intersection without their approval.
The City has requested to install a traffic signal controller at that intersection
of the type that has been previously installed along Newport Avenue northerly of
the freeway and throughout the City. CalTrans has not and will not approve this
type of controller within any intersection within their jurisdiction. The only
type of controller allowed by CalTrans is a Type 170 which is not compatible with
the City's system and will not respond to an interconnect system such as proposed
with the City's upcoming Newport Avenue F.A.U. Interconnect Project along the
southerly portion of Newport Avenue.

Staff is 'requesting relinquishment of CalTrans jurisdiction to the westerly leg of
Sycamore Avenue between Pasadena Avenue and'Newport Avenue. The attached
Resolution requests this relinquishment as well as a waiver of the ninety(90) day
notice of intention to relinquish. This waiver will hopefully expedite the
process of relinquishment.
This relinquishment will cause the City to be responsible for all pavement and
landscape maintenance within the area of relinquishment. Landscape maintenance by
CalTrans in years past has been less than desirable.
