TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution approving the Traffic Mitigation Program Thirteenth Annual Report (Fiscal Year 2003-2004) and making findings relative thereto, and amend the Traffic Mitigation Program to add the listed projects.
DISCUSSION
1-710 Corridor Improvements:
With the completion of the 1-710 Major Corridor Study, the next steps include moving the project through environmental clearance, as well as the initiation of physical improvements to adjacent surface streets and other short-term operational improvements. This project incorporates eligible capacity enhancing transportation improvements in long Beach that have been identified within the adopted locally preferred strategy, and provides a local match to state and federal funding that may be secured to initiate those projects.
1-405 Freewav/Oranqe Avenue Improvements: Improvements to the Orange Avenue interchange at the 1-405 Freeway will be
required due to developments in the area, including Home Depot in Signal Hill, which has already contributed $232,500 toward the cost of the improvement. The improvements include the installation of a traffic signal and the widening of the existing off-ramp in order to realign the free right-turn portion of the off-ramp into a standard perpendicular intersection with Orange Avenue.
SR-91/ I 605 Freewav Corridor:
The Gateway Cities COG has initiated a preliminary study with impacted cities to determine whether physical improvements will be needed in the SR-91 /l-605
Corridor to accommodate future growth. This project incorporates eligible capacity enhancing projects in Long Beach that may be identified through this study, and provides a local match to state and federal funding that may be secured to initiate those projects.
