Re: 1983 FAU Nominations
Dear Tom:
Attached are nominations for four proposed FAU projects in the City
of Costa Mesa. All projects have support at Council level based on past
actions; however, we will forward an official resolution in support of
these projects and their priority in October after the next scheduled City
Council meeting.
Our highest priority project is the Fairview Road overcrossing at
Interstate 405. We seek widening of the overcrossing structure to provide
the same travelway width as the adjacent arterial sections. The project is
needed in response to existing safety and congestion problems. The project
would be administered by CALTRANS on their own schedule.
Second priority is a City project to widen a portion of Del Mar Avenue
in the vicinity of Newport Boulevard. We are aggressively acquiring right-
of-way in the vicinity, arra we hope to construct a project to reduce exist-
ing
xisting congestion and accidents at the Newport Boulevard/Fair Drive/Del Mar
Avenue intersection. The project will also simplify future construction of
an interchange for Route 55 at Fair Drive/Del Mar Avenue. FAU funding is
requested for construction only.
Third priority is a City project to remove existing bottlenecks on
West 19th Street in anticipation of a street extension and bridge over the
Santa Ana River to Huntington Beach. The project would widen a short
stretch of a 40 -foot two-lane street west of Placentia Avenue, and two
four-way stop intersections would be signalized to provide full arterial
capacity. FAU funding is sought for right-of-way and construction. The
City will fund engineering as soon as possible pending FAU approval.
Fourth priority is a request for assistance in undertaking a major
construction project: the widening of Victoria Street from Harbor Boule-
vard west three-fourths of a mile to Canyon Drive. The existing street is
a 40 -foot two-lane road carrying 19,000 cars per day to the only existing
bridge over the Santa Ana River between Pacific Coast Highway and Adams
Avenue, a stretch of nearly three miles. The City has initiated prelimi-
nary engineering through an alignment study now underway and we anticipate
an expensive project cost due to the residential nature of the area. We
expect to prepare a full environmental analysis. We cannot pinpoint costs
yet but a commitment of more than City gas taxes and other local sources
will be necessary to fund this project. We do not expect full FAU funding
toward assembly of a complete project funding package in conjunction with
other sources of expected revenue.
I would be happy to discuss any of our projects with you or your
committees. You may also contact Rock Miller at (714) 754-4334 for
additional information.
