(Insert prior to existing paragraph)
The recommended improvements of the circulation system are designed to meet the
traffic needs within the City. However, as it is shown in this report, the
Tustin road system is severely affected by regional through traffic, particular
freeway avoidance traffic.. When practical, the City has attempted to encourage
the landowner to provide major circulation improvements that meet the needs of
the development projects, but also provide some capacity for regional traffic
needs, such as the Jamboree 1-5 interchange in East Tustin. However, due to the
uncertainties in the timing of regional improvements, such as the I-5 widening
project, and also with respect 'to an equitable sharing of funding of circulation
improvements, the City cannot be expected to implement a system accommodating
all potential freeway avoidance and regional through traffic. Accordingly, this
Circulation Element as amended provides a circulation improvement program
meeting the City's own needs and a fair share of other traffic needs.

the project post 2000 traffic volumes reflect over capacity situations on some
City arterials even with the planned circulation system improvements. The
potential over capacity situations are ....
