Participation by all agencies maintaining traffic signals along this corridor, which also includes the Cities of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Placentia, Yorba Linda and Caltrans, is needed for approval of the project application under the 2020 Call for Projects for the Competitive Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P). Within the City of Tustin the project would include existing traffic signals on Tustin Avenue at First Street as well as Yorba Street at Irvine Boulevard. Because of the proximity and the key role it has on traffic flow along Tustin Avenue specifically at the Santa Ana intersection of Tustin Avenue and Fourth Street, the Fourth Street/Irvine Boulevard interchange with SR -55 Freeway has been identified as part of the project. The intersection of Yorba Street at Irvine Boulevard in the City of Tustin due to its proximity to the interchange has also been included in the application. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 19-53 approving the submittal of the application to the Orange County Transportation Authority for the 2020 Call for Projects for the Renewed Measure M Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P) in the funding of the Tustin Avenue/Street and Rose Drive Traffic Signal Synchronization Project. FISCAL IMPACT The City is required to provide minimum match funding of twenty percent (20%) for each project. If the project is selected, the City's estimated matching cost plus administration will total approximately $50,000. Funding for City's match will be requested during the FY 2020-2021 budget process. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN Traffic signal synchronization contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and Protection of Assets.

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND Renewed Measure M (Measure M2) is a 30 -year, multi -billion dollar program extension of the original Measure M (approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned projects and programs. Measure M2 is comprised of a number of components such as Project O (Regional Capacity Program), Project P (Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program), Project Q (Local Fair Share Program), and the Transit Program (Projects S, T, V, and W). On July 26, 2010, the OCTA adopted the countywide Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan. From this Master Plan, the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P) was developed. To maintain City eligibility for funding under Project P, the City Council adopted the Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) on June 20, 2017, in compliance with the OCTA Master Plan. Project P synchronization projects will be selected for the 2020 Call for Projects on a competitive basis. Projects with the most regional significance will be ranked highest, with higher points applied toward multi -jurisdictional corridors. The Tustin Avenue/Street and Rose Drive Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (TSSP) project is a collaboration with the Cities of Orange, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Placentia, Yorba Linda and Caltrans to improve traffic flow along the Tustin Avenue/Street and Rose Drive corridor. In the City of Tustin, two (2) intersections will be improved with timing as well as new signal equipment. The following summarizes the proposed TSSP improvements at intersections maintained by the City of Tustin: • Timing analysis will be carried out before and after improvements to increase better traffic flow and to minimize delay at each intersection from the southern end of the Tustin Avenue/Street and Rose Drive corridor at First Street in the City of Tustin to adjacent cities to the north. • New signal controllers will be installed at two intersections: o Tustin Avenue/First Street and Yorba Street/Irvine Boulevard. • New vehicle detection using radar will be installed at two intersections: o Tustin Avenue/First Street and Yorba Street/Irvine Boulevard. • New audible -tactile accessible pedestrian signals (APS) will be installed at two intersections: o Tustin Avenue/First Street and Yorba Street/Irvine Boulevard. The City of Orange has taken the lead in submitting the application for the Tustin Avenue/Street and Rose Drive Traffic Signal Synchronization Project to the OCTA in collaboration with the Cities of Tustin, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Placentia, Yorba Linda and Caltrans. If the project is selected, 80% of funding will be provided by the OCTA under the Competitive Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program. Local agencies along each corridor are required to provide minimum match funding of twenty percent (20%) for the project.
