Project Status and Capital Improvement Program Report April 2020 through June 2020 <br />July 7, 2020 <br />Page 3 <br />COVID-19 has impacted property acquisitions and construction schedules due to limited <br />ability to coordinate with stakeholders, property owners, and tenants, and is beyond city <br />control. <br />Public Works — City Hall Counter Now Open to the Public <br />The Public Works counter is now open to the public. Appointments can be made using the Public <br />Works website (https://www.santa-ana.orq/pw) and are concentrated during morning hours, in <br />30-minute increments. The website contains instructions and appointment information, as well as <br />a link to schedule an appointment. <br />Behind -the -Scenes Work <br />Traffic Signal Synchronization Projects <br />Because of the nature of the work, the public is likely unaware of a traffic signal <br />synchronization project that is currently underway. While these improvements do not involve <br />traditional construction activity, the work on the Fairview Street corridor is significant due to <br />the size (approximately five miles including 16 Santa Ana traffic signals), the funding benefits <br />to the City, and the traffic flow improvements the community will experience. The project <br />consists of multi -agency (Santa Ana, Costa Mesa and Caltrans) traffic signal synchronization <br />and Intelligent Transportation Systems improvements. <br />In addition to installation of communication hardware, and software/hardware upgrades to our <br />Traffic Management Center, field monitoring equipment such as system detectors and CCTV <br />cameras to support and maintain new traffic flow synchronization will also be added. The <br />public may see some light construction to install new underground conduits with fiber optics <br />and to replace traffic controller cabinets. The project cost is $1,088,060, and the City's cost <br />share is $217,612. <br />Active Transportation Applications for Grants <br />City engineering staff is preparing grant applications for 22 Active Transportation Projects <br />(ATP). The combined application requests exceed $40 million. While there is no guarantee <br />that the City will secure any funds, the City has an outstanding track record and should <br />receive millions. <br />The grants requested will be utilized for traffic safety, traffic calming, bicycle lane projects, and <br />safe routes to school improvements. All of the ATP proposed are a result of extensive <br />community input. <br />Report <br />The Public Works Agency quarterly status report (Exhibit 1) provides project schedule updates <br />and the latest status as of the end of the 2nd Quarter of 2020. A Gantt Chart for each CIP project <br />is also available. The Capital Improvement Program schedule is frequently updated and posted <br />on the City's website: https://www.santa-ana.org/pw/capital-improvement-program-schedule/. <br />19C-3 <br />
