BACKGROUND Newport Avenue Extension/SR-55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project A description of proposed project improvements is as follows: Extension and widening of Newport Avenue south approximately 1,800 lineal feet from Edinger Avenue to Valencia Avenue. The proposed Newport Avenue extension will be a six (6) lane Major Arterial. The proposed features include three (3) lanes in each direction, raised medians, sidewalks, and bike lanes. Extended double left turn lanes and a separate right turn lane to the SR-55 on ramps will be provided. . Realignment of Del Amo Avenue to intersect with the SR-55 ramps and Newport Avenue, Del Amo Avenue will also be widened to allow for four (4) lanes and provide and added access route to SR-55. A portion of Del Amo Avenue no longer needed for street purposes will be vacated after the project. The realignment of Del Amo Avenue will also necessitate the relocation of a Southern California Edison 66kv Transmission Line that is currently located along Del Amo Avenue. The line is proposed to be installed underground. Reconstruction of the SR-55 northbound ramps. The current loop ramps at SR-55 and Edinger Avenue will be removed and replaced by hook ramps approximately 1,200 lineal feet south of Edinger Avenue. This configuration offers many advantages including an improved level of service and a reduced weaving pattern on the freeway. A land exchange is planned between Caltrans and the City for the ramp locations that are delineated in Cooperative Agreement No. 12-238, previously entered into between the City and Caltrans. Widening of the north side of Valencia Avenue from the new intersection with Newport Avenue easterly 350 feet to the existing railroad spur line tracks. Construction of a new Edinger Avenue and Newport Avenue intersection and widening of Edinger Avenue around the intersection. Edinger Avenue at Newport Avenue will be lowered approximately three (3) feet to accommodate design requirements for the Newport Avenue extension to the north (Phase II). New signalized intersections will be provided along Newport Avenue at Edinger Avenue, SR- 55 ramps/Del Amo Avenue and Valencia Avenue. The existing signalized intersection at Del Amo Avenue/Edinger Avenue will be modified to accommodate the widened roadways. Provision for future traffic signals at mid-block commercial driveways on Newport Avenue north and south of the SR-55/Del Amo Avenue intersection will be made. Approval of Plans and Specifications for the Newport Avenue Extension/SR-55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130) and the Edinger Avenue Widening Project (CIP No. 7147 in the City of Tustin and CIP No. 2585 in the City of Santa Ana) March 7, 2005 Page 3 .
