Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager <br />and the Clerk of the Council to execute a cooperative agreement with <br />the Santa Ana Unified School District to modify the traffic signal on <br />Edinger Avenue at Mohawk Drive. <br /> <br />2. Approve an appropriation adjustment accepting funds from the Santa <br />Ana Unified School District in the amount of $70,000 into the Select <br />Street Construction fund (account no. 59-01-5621-6) and appropriating <br />funds to the Select Street Construction fund (account no. 59-551-6631) <br />for the traffic signal installation modification on Edinger Avenue and <br />Mohawk Drive. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) opened the new Hector <br />Godinez High School in Centennial Park (Exhibit 1). Many parents are <br />using the intersection of Edinger Avenue and Mohawk Drive to access the <br />high school and are creating significant traffic congestion at this <br />intersection. To mitigate the congestion a traffic signal modification <br />is necessary. The traffic signal modification will provide for <br />eastbound/westbound left turn arrows, a northbound right turn arrow, <br />and an eastbound right turn lane. <br /> <br />The City and the SAUSD agreed to share the cost of this improvement. In <br />order to receive the funds from the SAUSD, a cooperative agreement is <br />needed between the City and the SAUSD. As part of the Cooperative <br />Agreement, the SAUSD will be required to provide the City with $70,000 <br />to fund the modification of a traffic signal on Edinger Avenue and <br /> <br />25G-1 <br />
