DISCUSSION In August 2005, the City approved the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the MacArthur Place South Project. As part of the traffic mitigation for this project, the widening of on-ramps at SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard interchange is needed (Exhibit 1). In August 2007, the City entered into a professional service agreement with Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan Inc. (PBS&J) to provide engineering services for the SR-55/MacArthur Blvd. On-Ramps Widening Project. Since the SR-55/MacArthur Boulevard On-Ramps Widening Project is within State right-of-way, the City has to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to define the specific roles and responsibilities of both parties. The agreement identifies the City as the lead agency for this project. The project is funded through Measure M, Regional Interchange Program, and Transportation System Improvement Area E. Based on the preliminary project schedule, the design phase is anticipated to be completed in February 2009 and construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2010. 25H-1
