Project Features
The 19th Street project is one of the highest priority projects in the City
of Costa Mesa and will alleviate the traffic problems at the intersections
of 19th Street and Newport Boulevard and at 19th Street and Harbor Boule-
vard. With traffic volume on Harbor Boulevard approaching 40,000 cars a
day and Newport Boulevard approaching 50,000 cars a day in the area of
19th Street, the capacity for 19th Street is severely limited. The inter-
section capacity deficiencies are compounded by the high left -turn demands
which require split signal phases. The project will eliminate the inter-
section capacity restraints by providing dual left -turn lanes and a right -
turn lane on the 19th Street approaches to Harbor Boulevard and Newport
Boulevard.
The funds requested are for the construction phase of the project.
The alignment shown on the accompanying precise plan has been adopted by
the City Council. It is slightly different than the original submittal due
to refinements made during our acquisitions.
An environmental impact statement will not be required as this project is
part of the downtown redevelopment plan for which an EIR has already been
prepared and approved.
Cost and Fund Source Information
The City has financed its portion of the project from Gas Tax Funds,
Traffic Safety Funds, and Federal Revenue Sharing Funds.
