MIST is a centralized <br />traffic signal system that conforms to current national standards and <br />works with the new generation traffic signal controllers that we <br />installed recently in Downtown Santa Ana. The system also allows the <br />City to interface with the City of Costa Mesa's system for signal <br />coordination along common major arterials. This proposed system upgrade <br />will increase the functionality of the MIST system to allow the City to <br />add new traffic signals to the system. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />25Q-1 <br />
